The 3-and  4-speed  transmission 
shift levers, extending from the 
fioor, have their  special  shift pat
tern  diagram  located on the  knob. 
Depress  the clutch  pedal fully be
fore  attempting  to shift 
toa differ
ent  gear,  then release  the pedal  to 
move  in that  gear. 
For normal 
accelerations  shift into second  gear 
at 
20 mph;  into third  gear at 30 
mph;  and on 4-speed  models into 
fourth  gear at 
40 mph. 
Both  transmissions,  being fully 
synchronized,  may be downshifted 
into  1 st  gear  at any  speed  below 
20 
m. p.h. Shift  into Reverse  gear only 
after  the car  has  stopped.  Always 
depress  and release  the clutch  pedal 
fully  when  shifting. 
Also,  shift into 
"Reverse" before 
shutting 
off engine.  This will permit  the 
ignition  key to be  turned  to the 
"Lock" position. 
Good  Driving  Practice: On cars 
equipped  with manual  transmis
sions , use  second  gear at slow 
speeds  (less than 
30 m.p.h.)  when 
driving  in stop-and-go  traffic; for 
improved  vehicle performance dur
ing  acceleration;  and when  de
scending  steep hills.

Turn  Signals  and Lane 
Change  Feature 
The tum signal lever is located 
on  the  left  side  of the  steering  col
umn  immediately  under the steer
ing  wheel.  The lever 
is moved  up
,ward  to signal  a right 
tum and 
downward  to signal  a left 
tum. 
Lamps  on the  front  and rear  of the 
car  transmit  this signal  to other 
motorists  and pedestrians.  The 
ig
nition switch  must  be  in the "ON" 
position  in order  for the tum sig
nals  to be  operational.  This feature 
prevents  battery drain if the  lever . 
is left in an "ON" position  when 
your  car 
is not in use.
