race engine.
For best possible trac­
tion, avoid spinning wheels when
trying to free the car. The use of
AC Liquid Tire Chain is recom­
mended for temporary assistance
when traction
is lost on ice or snow.

Your Camaro may be towed on
all four wheels, at speeds of
less
than 35 mph, for distances up to
50 miles, provided driveline, axle
and transmission are otherwise
normally operable. For such tow­
ing, parking brake must be re­
leased, transmission must be in
neutral
and ignition lock turned to
OFF position. Attachments must
be to main structural members of
the car, not to bumpers or brac­
keting. Separate safety chains
or
cables should be used. Remember
that power brake and steering
as­
sists will not be available when
engine
is inoperative.
Emergency Starting
• Never tow the car to start be­
cause the surge forward when
the engine starts could cause a
collision with the tow vehicle.
• Engines in vehicles with auto­
matic transmissions cannot be
started by (towing
or) pushing
the car.
• To start the car when the Ener­
gizer (battery)
is discharged,
use a single auxiliary battery or
Energizer of the same nominal
voltage
(12 volts) as the dis­
charged battery, with suitable
jumper cables.
• Make connections as set forth
below under
"Jump Starting
with Auxiliary (Booster) Bat­
tery" to lessen the chance of
personal injury
or property
damage.
Jump Starting with
Auxiliary (Booster) Battery
Both booster and discharged
battery should be treated carefully
when using jumper cables. Follow
37
exactly the procedure outlined be­
low, being careful not to cause
sparks:
1. Set parking brake and place
automatic transmission in
"PARK" (neutral for manual
transmission). Turn
off lights,
heater and other electrical loads.
2. Remove vent caps from both
the booster and the discharged
batteries. Lay a cloth over the
open vent wells of each battery.
These two actions help reduce
the explosion hazard always
