Cowl ventilators are also provided on the closed cars to supplement the
ventilation provided by the windshield. These ventilators are at the sides
of the cowl compartment and open toward the rear, serving as outlets for
the air entering under the windshield.
Windshield Cleaner
The windshield cleaner consists of two wiper blades, operated by the
suction or vacuum in the passages between the carburetor and the engine.
The cleaner is controlled by the lower of the two buttons at the extreme
left-hand end of the instrument board. When the button is turned clockwise
as far as it will go the cleaner is shut off. To start the cleaner, turn
the button counter-clockwise.
Adjustable Seat
The driver's seat is adjustable on all Cadillac cars, except those that arc
intended to be chauffeur-driven. On open cars, the back of the seat can
be moved forward or backward as desired. This adjustment is controlled
by the handle on the top of the baac of the seat. To move the seat forward,
turn the handle clockwise; to move it backward, turn the handle counterclockwise.
On closed cars, the entire front seat can be moved forward or backward.
This adjustment is controlled by a handle on the center of the seat, about
three inches above the floorboards.To move the seat forward, turn the
handle clockwise; to move it backward, counter-clockwise. The handle
must be turned one-half turn at a time.
As the front scat on the five-passenger coupe is divided, only the driver's
half of the seat is adjustable. The handle for making the adjustment is on
the side of the seat, otherwise the adjustment is the same.
Cigar Lighters and Inspection Lamp
The car is equipped with a combination cigar lighter and inspection
lamp that makes use of a single reel with twelve feet of flexiblecord attached
to the back of the instrument board. The flexiblecord ends in a
bayonet type socket, to which may be attached either the inspection lamp
or the heating clement of the cigar lighter. The method of attachment
is identical with that of an ordinary lamp bulb, Ordinarily the cigar lighter
will be carried in place in the socket on the cord and the inspection lamp
in a stationary socket provided on the front of dash, where it is useful
to illuminate the engine. (The inspection lamp is packed with the tool
equipment when the car is shipped.)

To use the cigar lighter, pull it out from the instrument board at least
a foot, wait a few seconds for the heating element to heat and apply it
to the cigar or cigarette. The current is automatically switched on as soon
as ten or twelve inches of the cord have been unreeled. To light a pipe,
remove the nickel-plated shield by turning it slightly counter-clockwise
and pulling it straight off.
To lock the cord in any desired position, pull out the button on the
instrument board at the right of the cigar lighter (Fig. 2). This engages
a ratchet which prevents the reel from rewinding. To rewind the cord,
press the button back to ics original position.
The inspection lamp socket on the dash has a double bayonet lock with
two sets of slots. To install the lamp, simply insert it in the socket, press
in, and turn it clockwise as soon as the pins on the lamp engage the first
or outer sets of slots. In this position, the current is not switched on. To
switch the current on, turn the lamp slightly counter-clockwise, press in,
and turn it clockwise again, engaging the pins in the second or inner set
of slots To switch off the light, turn the lamp counter-clockwise and
pull it out of the socket fat enough to engage the first set of slots.
The smoking sets of Sedan models are equipped with a cordless cigar lighter
that can be passed around. To use this lighter, depress the switch on the
side of the lighter, hold it in place until the heating element gees red and lift
the lighter out for use.
