if possible. 
• Turn on  the  hazard  warning 
flasher  by pushing  in on  the  but- ton 
located  on the  column  just 
below  the steering  wheel. Flasher 
can  be actuated  with engine

Freeing  Car From Sand, etc. 
If it becomes  necessary  to rock 
the  car  to free  it from  sand,  mud 
or snow,  move the selector  lever 
·on automatic  transmission  models 
from 
"D" to "R" in  a repeat  pat
tern  while  simultaneously  applying 
36 
moderate pressure to the  accelera
tor. 
(On standard  transmission 
models,  move gear shift  lever  from 
second  to reverse 
gear.)' Do not 
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. 
Towing 
Proper  lifting and towing  equip
ment 
is necessary  to prevent  dam
age  to 
the vehicle during any 
towing  operation.  State (Provincial 
in Canada)  and local  laws appli
cable  to vehicles  in tow  must  be 
followed.  Detailed towing instruc
tions  are available  at your  Chevro
let  dealer. 
Your Camaro  may be towed on 
all  four  wheels,  at speeds  of less

50 miles,  provided  the drive-line, 
axle,  transmission,  and steering 
system  are otherwise  normally op
erable. 
Use only  towing  equipment 
specifically  designed for this  pur
pose  following  the instructions  of 
the  towing  equipment  manufac
turer.  A separate  safety chain sys
tem  must  be used. 
For such  towing 
the  steering  must be unlocked, 
transmission  in neutral  and the 
parking  brake released.  Attach
ments  must be made  to main  struc
tural  members  of the  car.  Do not 
attach  to bumpers 
or associated 
brackets.  Remember  that power 
brake  and power  steering  assists 
will  not be available  when engine 
is inoperative. 
Emergency  Starting

• The battery  in the  other  vehicle 
must  be of the 
same  nominal 
voltage 
(12 volts),  and must  be 
negatively  grounded. (All Gen
eral  Motors  cars, light trucks 
(10,000 GVWR and under), 
and motor  homes  use 12-volt, 
negatively  grounded electrical 
systems  and 
can be used  to jump 
start  one another.)  The nominal 
voltage  and grounding  of the 
other  vehicle's  battery may be 
determined  by checking  the spec
ifications 
in its  owner's  manual. 
Use of a booster  battery of a 
higher  nominal  voltage, 
or which 
is positively  grounded may re
sult 
in serious  personal  injury or 
property  damage. 
• The battery  in your  car must  be a 
Delco  battery  (the original, 
or a 
replacement)  which 
is equipped 
with  flame  arrestor  type filler/ 
vent  caps
