Page 13 There are, to be sure, many ways to describe superlative motor “majesty,” “brilliance” fullest meaning, to this new Cadillac. And yet, from this wonderful vocabulary, we selected “elegance” as the word characterizes the Cadillac of 1960. The beautiful, clean-lined styling is certainly elegant beyond compare.
Page 14 For the 1948 model, Cadillac introduced the legendary tail fin which once more set the trend styling for nearly two decades. This was closely followed with the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille and the industry’s first modern overhead valve, high compression V8 engine on the I949 model.

Page 25 don't have a seatback reclined if your vehcle is moving. Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can't do their job when you're reclined like this. The shoulder belt can't do its job.
Page 26 Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash. The head restraints tilt forward and rearward also. If the seatback isn9t locked, it could move forward in sudden stop or crash.

Page 42 Where are the air bags? The driver’s a i r bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger’s air bag is in the instrument panel on passenger’s side.
Page 43 A-CAUTION.: ....If something is between an occupant and an air bag, the bag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person. The path of an inflating air bag must be kept clear.
Page 44 ow does an air bag restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions, even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel. bags supplement the protection provided by safety belts. Air bags distribute the force of the impact more evenly over the occupant’s upper body, stopping the occupant more gradually.
Page 45 Do not open or break the air bag covering. Air bags affect how your Cadillac should be serviced. There are parts of the air bag system in several places around your vehicle. You don’t want the system to inflate while someone is working on your vehicle.
Page 46 It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear hurt seat are more often in crashes wearing safety belts. Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

Page 188 Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a national tragedy. It’s the number one contributor to the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims every year. Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a vehicle: Judgment Muscular Coordination Vision Attentiveness.
Page 189 It’s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example, if the same person drank three double martinis (3 ounces or 90 of liquor each) within an hour, the person’s BAC would be close to 0.12 percent. A person who consumes food just before or during drinking will have somewhat lower BAC level.
Page 190 The body takes about an hour to rid itself of the alcohol one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold showers will speed that up. “I’ll be careful” isn’t the right answer. What if there’s an emergency, a need to take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street? A person with even a moderate BAC might not be able to react quickly enough to avoid the collision.
Page 191 .You have three systems that make your vehicle you want it to They are the brakes, the steering. and the accelerator. All: three systems have to do their work at the places where the tires meet the road. Sometimes, as when you’re driving on snow or ice, it’s easy to more of those control systems than the tires and road c.an provide.
Page 192 Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lot of heavy braking.
Page 193 ..Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the road is wet. You’re driving safely. Suddenly an a n i m a l jumps out in front of you. You slam on the brakes. Here’s what happens with ABS. A computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
Page 194 Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops.
Page 195 should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow. See “Rocking Your Vehicle” in the Index.) To turn the system off, press TRAC OFF button located inside of the glove box. The TRACTION message will display on the Driver Information Center.
Page 196 It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed. A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on the news happen on curves. Here’s why: Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to the same laws of physics when driving on curves. The traction of the tires against the road surface makes it possible for the vehicle to change its path when you turn the front wheels.
Page 197 . But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s the time for evasive action the problem. Your Cadillac can perfonn very well these. First apply your brakes. (See “Braking in Emergencies” earlier this section.) It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision.
Page 198 You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. SLOW DOWN surface edge of paved If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if therc is nothing in the way, steer that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
Page 199 Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass while you’re awaiting an opportunity. For one thing, following too closely reduces your area of vision, especially if you’re following a larger vehicle. Also, won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops.

Page 201 Night driving is more dangerous than reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired alcohol or with night vision problems, or by fatigue. drugs, 4-66 Here are some tips on night driving. Drive defensively. Don’t drink and drive. Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down other vehicles.
Page 202 No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as we get older these differences increase. driver may require at least twice as much light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old. What you do in the daytime can also affect your night vision.
Page 203 Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road, you can’t stop, accelerate or turn as well because your tire-to-road traction isn’t as good as on dry roads. And, if your tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll get even less traction.
Page 204 Driving too fast through large water puddles or even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes. Try to avoid puddles. But if you can't, try to slow down before you hit them. CAUTION: Wet brakes can cause accidents.
Page 205 Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up under your tires that they can actually ride on the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road. Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often.
Page 206 One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You’ll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety Know the best way to get to where you are going.
Page 207 Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes or superhighways) are the safest of all roads. But they have their own special rules. The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and keep to the right. Drive at the same speed most of the other drivers are driving.

Page 212 Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have good traction. However, if there is snow or ice between your tires and the road, you can have a very slippery situation. You’ll have a lot less traction or “grip” and will need to be very careful.
Page 213 Your anti-lock brakes improve your vehicle’s stability when you make a hard stop on a slippery road. Even though yonhave the anti-lock braking system, you’ll want to begin stopping sooner than you would on dry pavement. See “Anti-Lock’’ in the Index. Allow greater following distance on any slippery road.
