Unusual Starting Conditions
Flooded En Int-Excessive "pumping" of the accelerator pedal may "flood" the engine,
causing a temporary no·start condition. A
strong odor of gasoline is an indication of a flooded engine. To start the engine under flooded conditions, depress the accelerator
pedal fully to the floor and hold there while
cranking untIl engine starts. Holding the accelerator fully to the floor opens the choke, allowing excess fuel to be eliminated from
the engine. Clearing the engine may take
about 10 seco'nds, depending on the amount
of excess fuel in the engine.
Extremely Cold Weather-When starting
your car at temperatures of zero or below,
depress the accelerator to the normal position
of one·third to one· half of Its full travel and crank the engine. Hold the key in the start
position until the engine is running. If the
engine attempts to start but does not, and the total engine cranking time required about 20 seconds, depress the accelerator all the
way to the floor until the engine starts run·
ning. If it does not start then return accelerator
to the one· third to one·half position and continue cranking. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure. NOTE: See "Recom·
mended Engine Oil Grades" and "If You Have an Automatic Transmission" in the
"Service Tips" section of this manual for recommendations regarding cold weather
starting. A larger capacity battery is available from your Dealer for use in extremely cold
areas.
BREAK·IN RECOMMENDATIONS-A
long break-in period is not required for your
new car. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles. After the initial 50 miles, speeds up to 50 or 60 mph are desirable. While cruising,
brief full·throttle accelerations contribute to a
good break·in (Within limits of state and local traffic laws). Wide· open throttle accelerations in low gear can be detrimental and should
be avoided for at least 500 miles. The oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high quality lubricant, classified "For
Service MS", and should be retained until
the first regular oil change. It is not unusual
for a new engine to use a certain amount of oil during this period. Have the oil level checked each time you stop for gasoline. If
oil is added, use only oils labeled on the con·
tainer "For Service MS" and of the weight required for the outside temperature, as
described on page 38.

RAILER-TOWING SERVIICE RECOMMENDATIONS

M nufacture r's Passenger Car Warranty will apply. Otherwise, towing a loaded trailer weighing In I I of 2,500 pounds is viewed as abnormal use and service and the warranty does not apply.

I ""ittnllnation of the rear axle lubricant with water Is possible by submerging the rear axle in water, IlIlIwll, w ter to enter the axle vent. Boat-launching ramps are sometimes located to permit the 11111111 f Ion of the car axle . If contamination by water is evident or suspected, rear axle lubricant .,HI I II changed immediately, or early axle failure can result.
Hili Wh n towing a trailer tire pressures should be increased 4 psi on Sedan models and 6 psi on I tlon Wagon models.
