Cruise Control<br />
The benefits of automatically maintained<br />
cruising speeds and a warning against exceeding<br />
any pre-selected speed are provided<br />
by the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Cruise Control. Set in AUTO<br />
position, it maintains the speed selected on<br />
the dial without foot pressure on the accelerator.<br />
A touch of the brake disengages<br />
Cruise Control until car is re-accelerated to<br />
speed setting. It is also disengaged by moving<br />
control switch to OFF or turning ignition<br />
off. At any dial setting, a gentle resistance<br />
by the accelerator pedal warns the driver<br />
whenever he is about to exceed his dialselected<br />
speed. Green light reminds driver<br />
when Cruise Control is on AUTO (automatic).<br />

LIGHTS<br />
Twilight Sentinel<br />
Set the Twilight Sentinel control lever, integral<br />
with headlamp switch, to automatic<br />
and, whenever the ignition is ON, the headlamps<br />
and taillamps of the car will automatically<br />
turn on when lighting is required<br />
as at dusk or whenever daylight is otherwise<br />
reduced. Lights are automatically turned off<br />
when sufficient daylight returns. Twilight<br />
Sentinel also permits leaving car lamps, including<br />
either cornering lamp (as selected<br />
by directional signal lever), lighted for up<br />
to a minute and a half after the ignition is<br />
turned OFF, thus providing a pathway of<br />
light away from the car, then automatically<br />
turning lamps off. Control lever may be set<br />
on manual when driver prefers for normal<br />
headlamp pull switch operation.<br />
Guide-Matic (headlamp control)<br />
An appreciated nighttime driving aid, Guide-<br />
Matic automatically dims the headlamps of<br />
the car when another car approaches from<br />
the opposite direction or when the <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
driver draws closer to the taillights of a<br />
car ahead. An overriding foot switch permits<br />
signalling drivers who neglect to dim their<br />
car's bright lights in return. Guide-Matic is<br />
adjustable for sensitivity or may be turned<br />
OFF with control integral with headlamp<br />
switch.<br />
