practical and just high enough
to enable the child to look
hori­
zontally out of the car windows.
4. The use of the cushion should
be discontinued
as soon as the
child
is old enough to see out of
the car windows without it.
Trailer Hauling
Since passenger cars are designed
and intended to
be used primarily
as passenger conveyances, towing
a trailer will affect handling,
dura­
bility and economy. Maximum
safety and· satisfaction depends
upon proper use of correct equip­
ment and avoiding overloads and
other abusive operation .

in height.

that children be restrained when
riding. However, if conditions
require that a child must stand,
he should stand on the floor di-

sudden stop. This method
should be used only if more

used.

Heater
The windshield defrosting and
defogging system assists in provid­
ing good visibility through desig­
nated areas of the windshield under
most inclement weather conditions.
For immediate operation of the
vehicle, the windshield should be
scraped clear.

Pushing the AIR-DEF lever to

the system. Maximum airflow

Further movement to the right

as desired when windshield de­
frosting is needed. At the DEF po­
sition (full right) the entire airflow
is diverted to the defroster outlets.

The fan lever has three (3) posi­
tions from low at the top
to high
at the bottom.
NOTE: Fan will automatically

is blown onto a cool windshield.
Heater Operating Tips
• Clear snow and ice from hood
and air inlet in front of wind­
shield to improve heater and de­
froster efficiency and reduce the
probability of fogging on inside
of windshield.
• Clear windshield, rear window,
outside mirrors and all side
win­
dows of ice and snow before
driving vehicle.
• Operate blower on "HIGH" for
a
few seconds before moving the

of snow.
• Keep all windows and vents
closed to reduce dust, road and
wind noise and uncomfortable
drafts.
• For most satisfactory heater op­
eration and air circulation, oper­
ate fan on low or medium speeds
for normal operation and high
speed for quick warm-up and
during extremely low tempera­
tures.
• For adequate rear seat heating,
the area beneath the front seat
must not be blocked by carpet­
ing, rags, paper
or other mate­
rial and fan should operate on
high blower.
• For additional summer ventila­
tion move the
AIR lever to mid­
position and the
DEFROSTER
lever to DE-ICE. If greater air­
flow is desired, move the FAN
lever down to operate the three-
Rear Window Defroster
To insure clear vision through
the rear window during inclement
weather, the Rear Window De­
froster has become established
as a
popular accessory. This unit draws in
air from the passenger compart­
ment and directs it against the back
window to remove frost or mois­
ture. Its blower has a two-speed
control switch on the instrument
panel.
Four Season Air Conditioning System
Temperature (Lower Lever)
The temperature lever allows a
selection of air temperature from
Cold at the far left to Hot a the
far right. When the temperature
lever
is in the COLD position the
26
system will provide the coldest air
possible . When the temperature
lever
is moved to the right (toward
"HOT"), the system will operate on
outside air regardless of the position
of the upper lever.

Selector (Upper Lever)
This lever provides a selection of
systems available to handle various
heating and cooling requirements
throughout the year. The positions
of the Selector lever are separated
into four (4) major operational
groups
"Off", IIAir Conditioning",
IIVent" and IIHeating". The "Air
Conditioning" and IIHeating"
groups have several positions which
improve the effectiveness of
the
system for various demands.
Fan
The fan lever has four (4) posi­
tions from Lo at the top to High at
the bottom. Blower speed
is auto­
matically maintained when the
ignition switch
is in the "ON" posi­
tion, regardless of the position of
the selector lever. The blower re­
mains
ON with the Selector lever
in the
OFF position and the igni­
tion switch
ON in order to purge moisture
from the evaporator core
and distributor ducts, thereby help­
ing to prevent inadvertent flash
fogging of the windows when the
system
is turned on.
Selector Lever Operation
uOFF" -Shuts the entire system off
but blower automatically remains
operative.
uMAX"-Air from the passenger
compartment is recirculated
through the system and discharged
from the upper outlets when the
temperature lever
is in "Max." cold.
(If the liTem perature" lever is
moved warmer, the system will
automatically
go on outside air.)
The
IIMax." position is used when
maximum cooling
is required under
conditions of high temperature and
humidity.
uNORMAL" -Outside air is passed
through the system and discharged
through the
Ale outlets. This posi-
27
tion is recommended for most air
conditioning situations because of
reduced blower noise and reduction
of cigarette smoke within the
ve­
hicle.
uBI-LEVEL"-Outside air is passed
through the system and discharged
from both the upper and lower out­
lets. This position
is recommended
for sunny cooler weather where
warm air
is required on the feet
with cooler air above to provide
comfortable breath level. Temper­
ature may be adjusted
as desired.
(<> BI-Level position)
NOTE: This position will clear
fogged windows rapidly due to the
dehumidifying effect of the cooling
coils when the outside temperature
is above 30°F.
UVENT" -Air flow and tempera­
ture control are the same
as "BI­
