1954 Cadillac - GM Heritage Center

MAP LIGHT
For your convenience, a map light is located under the top edge
at the center of the instrument panel. With front doors closed, it
may be operated manually by means of the switch at the front of
the map light. It automatically serves as a courtesy light when
either front door is open on Sedan models. On Coupes, the dome
lamp serves as a courtesy light when the door is open.
CONTROLLED VENTILATION
Air for ventilation enters through ducts located directly beneath
the windshield. This location prevents excessive intake of exhaust
fumes from other cars. Incoming fresh air passes over water
separators and is admitted to the passenger compartment through
valves controlled by push-pull knobs. The control knobs—one for
each side of the car—are conveniently located on the Instrument
Control Cluster. The control for the right side of the car is located
on the right at the steering column, while the left-hand control is
at the left side of the steering column.
When direct outside ventilation is not desired, the knobs should
be pushed in. This prevents the entrance of outside air, and also
allows diversion through the Cadillac Automatic Heating System
when that system is turned on during the cold weather months.
