Specifications

Rear View Mirror
A rear view mirror is located near the top of the windshield division
moulding. This mirror can be rotated on its mounting to accom-
modate all drivers and seat positions.
Cadillac Speedometer
The Cadillac speedometer, in addition
to speed ami cumulative mileage indi-
cation, includes a trip mileage indica-
tor. This is easily reset to zero by one
complete revolution of the dial. Push
in and turn counter-clockwise the
reset knob located at the bottom of
the instrument panel to the right of
the steering column.
Oil Pressure Gauge
Lnder normal operating conditions, oilier than idle, the oil pres-
sure gauge should indicate approximately 30 lb. pressure. If no
pressure is indicated, slop the engine immediately and have the
cause investigated.
Heat Indicator
The heal indicator shows the approximate temperature of the coolant
in the engine. The pointer should register within the center range
except during long continuous driving in warm weather, when it
may go slightly beyond that point. This condition is not alarming,
as the pressure-operated overflow will normally prevent fluid losses
at temperatures up to 235°F. When your engine operating tempera-
ture runs hot on long drives, it is important to remember to check
oil and coolant levels frequently. Should the indicator show "hot" on
short runs, have your Authorized Cadillac Service Station investigate
immediately.
Charging Indicator
A charging indicator is used to show the "charge" and "discharge"
of the electrical system. Unless the battery is fully charged, the gauge
pointer should indicate "charge" after the car is operating 15 to 20
miles per hour. The gauge pointer should indicate "discharge" only
when engine is idling or accessories are being used with engine shut
off. Have your Cadillac Authorized Dealer check any irregularities.

Gasoline Gauge
The gasoline gauge operates only when the ignition switch is turned
either to the right or left position, at which time it will indicate the
quantity of fuel in the tank.
Cadillac Door Locks
Each door on your Cadillac can be locked
from the inside by pushing down the con-
venient lock button as shown. Doors may
also be locked from the outside with this
button by pushing the button down while
the door is open, and then holding the door
handle all the way down while closing the door. Of course you'll want
to be sure vour door key has not been left in the car.
Locks on the rear doors of sedans are set so that both the inside and
outside door handles are inoperative when the lock button is
depressed. This is a desirable extra safety measure when children
are to be alone in the rear seat. To open a door under this arrange-
ment, it is first necessary to lift the lock button, then operate the
door handle. If desired, the locks on the rear doors of sedans can he
reset at any Authorized Service Station so that pushing down the
lock button makes only the outside door handle inoperative. For
your own protection, and to cooperate with law enforcement person-
nel, do not leave your cur unlocked when unattended.
Door "Hold-Open"
A door "Hold-Open" is incorporated in each
door on your Cadillac. When a door is
opened fully, this device prevents it from
closing of its own weight while passengers
are entering or alighting. To close door,
simply push firmly; no release is required.
Accessory Back-Up Light
Many Cadillac owners have their cars
equipped with the Cadillac Hack-Up Light.
It is located, as illustrated, on the rear of
the body on the left side. This light op-
erates automatically whenever gears are
shifted to reverse, and the ignition switch
is on. Excellent illumination is then provided for hack
or out of narrow or close-bordered drivewavs.
