MINOR REPAIRS
Headlamp Adjustment
To avoid dazzling oncoming drivers the headlamps should have a
range of between 30 to 50 metres (33 to 55 yards).
Adjustment from inside the car (Fig. 39):
To lower the beams: turn the knob (1) anti-clockwise.
To raise the beams: turn clockwise.
Adjustment from outside the car:
The range and direction of each headlamp can be modified by
operating the hexaganol nut which secures the headlamp to its ball
joint support.
As these adjustments from outside the car can only be carried out
in a workshop containing the necessary checking equipment, have
them done, or checked, by a specialist in these matters.

DRIVING
STARTING
Anti-theft, Ignition, Starter
ANTI-THEFT-IGNITION-STARTER SWITCH (Fig. 12)
The device is situated below the dashboard, on the left-hand side of
the steering column.
The successive positions of the key when turned clockwise are as
follows:
1 - Anti-theft (steering locked)
2 - Garage (steering free)
3 - Ignition
4 - Starter
When turning from the "Anti-theft" position to the "Garage"
position, it may be necessary to rock the steering wheel slightly
while turning the key.
As there is a safety device which prevents operating the starter
twice in succession, it is necessary (if the engine stops or does not
start first time), to switch off the ignition, then switch it on again \
in
order to be able to operate the starter a second time.
To withdraw the key, pull it slightly when approaching the required
position ("Anti-theft" or "Garage").
Never withdraw the key before the car has come to a complete
stop.
