il Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge should always show pressure while
the engine is running. If it does not, stop the engine at
once and investigate the cause.
Temperature Indicator
The temperature of the fluid in the cylinder blocks is
shown on this dial.
The needle should register within the "normal" range
except on long, hard drives in summer weather, when it may
register "hot." This condition need not cause alarm, as the
pressure-operated overflow will normally prevent water
losses at temperatures up to 220°F.
When the engine does run hot on long drives, it is im-
portant to check the oil and water levels frequently. Ob-
serve the precaution given on page 10 when checking the
water level.
The indicator often rises to "hot" right after the
engine is shut off. This condition is entirely normal. It is
due to the heat that remains in the cylinder blocks after
air and water circulation have stopped.
If the indicator should show "hot" during short runs
under normal driving conditions, the cause should be in-
vestigated.

ock.
The instrument panel clock is electrically driven and
fully automatic in operation. Interruptions in the current
will naturally cause the clock to stop.
After the current has been reconnected, it is necessary
merely to reset the hands, as the resetting mechanism will
again put the clock in operation.
Radio
Radio installation is contemplated in the design of the
LaSalle car. The instrument panel is laid out so that the
radio controls can be made an integral part of the design.
The myth of radio distracting the driver has long since
been exploded. Listening to the radio tends rather to lessen
the tensions that cause undue haste.
Improvements in automobile radios during recent years
have brought these sets to a par with most house sets.
Cadillac radios are outstanding in performance, and we in-
vite you to secure a demonstration from your Cadillac-
LaSalle dealer.
