LET'S GET ACQUAINTED
o A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEY
You will find a small metal tag attached to each set of keys. Stamped on this tag is an
identifying number which you should record
so that in the event of loss you can order
dup!icate keys from your dealer or a repu­table locksmith. After recording the numbers, the tag should be destroyed. I f you did not
receive a tag with your keys, ask your dealer to give you the numbers.
LET' GET ACQUAINTED
Take your seat behind the wheel and with the aid of this manual we suggest you famil­
iarize yourself with the many features bUilt
into your new car.
The first thing you may want to do is adjust
the front seat to your liking and move the rear-view mirror for safe visibility.
e EAT ADJU TMENT (manual).
The adjusting lever, located at the left of the front seat cushion, at your left hand near the
floor, releases the seat so you can slide it forward or backward with your body weight
to the position that's most suitable. It will lock in the new position when the lever is released. See page I7 for adjustment of power seal.
REAR-VIEW MIRROR
The ball-and-socket mounting of this mirror prevents vibration, yet adjusts easily. Its central location enables you to view traffic
conditions with a quick, safe glance.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION '
The pointer on the indicator in the instrument panel cluster indicates the gear range the
transmission is in. (With a Console the
indicator is on the Console panel, located on the floor at the driver's right.) The Selector Lever is mounted on the right side of the
steering column. Pull the lever toward you and move it to the desired gear range. Gear
ranges are as follows:
"P" Parking. Supplements parking brake by
locking the transmission. Engine' can be
started in this range. Never use " P " while
car is in motion. Always apply parking brake while in this range.
"R" Reverse. Place your foot on the brake
pedal before selecting this range. An auto· matic safety control makes it impossible to
shift into Reverse at forward speeds above 10 miles per hour.
"N " Neutral. Use when car is standing at idle for prolonged period with engine running.
12 Engine can be started in this range.
"0 " Drive. For most city and highway driving.
"2" Second. For driving slowly in heavy city
traffic or on mountain roads where more precise speed control is desirable. Use it also when climbing long grades, and for "engine
braking" when descending moderately steep grades.
CAUTION:
To prevent IICes s engine speed do not ex·
ceed 60 miles per hour In this range.
" 1" First. For driving up very steep hills and for "engine braking" at low speeds (25 miles
per hour or less) when going down. In snow,
sand or mud, car can often be moved by alternately moving from Drive and Reverse with the accelerator slightly depressed to
achieve a "rocking motion.
CAUTION:
To prevent excess engine speed do not ex­
ceed 40 miles per hour In this range.
Towing. For short distances put transmission in Neutral, but don't exceed 35 mph. For long distances (more than 100 miles), or If the transmiSSion is not operative, the car should be towed with rear wheels off the ground or with the propeller shaft disconnected.
Assist Starting Procedure (Automatic and Manual Transmission). Your battery must contain an adequate charge to provide prompt starting power to the engine. If it does not, it may require "boosting" by transferring power t o it from a fully-charge battery. When this is done the negative cable on the charging bat­tery must be attached only to the negative (- ) post, and positive (+ ) to positive. Each post IS stamped on top. This precaution will prevent possible wiring damage to your car.
Assist starting can also be done by having the car pushed from behind. Make sure the bumpers on both cars align properly. If you have an automatic transmission put the selector lever in "N" (neutral) and when you have been pushed to about 15 mph, turn the ignition key to "On", press the accelerator pedal about half-way down and move the selector lever to "I" (first) gear. When the engine starts shift to "0" (drive) gear.
With a m anual transmission, press the clutch pedal and hold it there; then shift to Second or High gear. When a speed of about 10 mph is reached, press the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to "On" and slowly release the clutch pedal and engine should start.
Do not get an assist start by having t h e cal towed as it could be damaged by being thrust forward suddenly when the engine starts.
