Your Chevrolet is equipped  with a 
Turbo Hydra-Matic  automatic 
transmission.  After starting  the 
en
gine with.the  selector lever in N 
(Neutral) or  P (Park) position, 
select  the range  desired  (see table) 
and

gradual  start with  a steady  increase 
in  accelerator  pressure will result  in 
best  possible  fuel economy.  Rapid 
acceleration  for fast  starts 
will re

This  section  contains  some tips 
on 
how you can  obtain  maximum 
benefit  from these  tires and your 
investment  in them. 
Vehicle Loading 
When  inftiltedas  recommended 
on  the  tire  pressure  placard, located  on 
the  left  door 
of your  vehicle , the 
tires  originally  installed will operate 
satisfactorily  at all  normal  highway 
loads 
and s peeds. Do  not  load  your 
vehicle  beyond  the capacity  shown 
on  the  tire  placard . This  represents 
the  design  capacity  of the  vehicle , 
not  merely  of the  tires . 
Station  Wagon  loads 
Should be 
distributed as far forward as pos~ 
sihle  . .Luggage  racks do not in
crease 
the  maximum  vehicle load 
capaciiy  specified. on  the  tire 
pla
card. 
Inflation Presslire 
Tir~' cold inflation pressures 
listed ' on  the  tire  placard  provide 
for 
the best  combination  of tire  life, 
riding ' comfort , . and  vehicle 
hand
ling for normal . driving  conditions . 
Use of the  highest  pressures  shown 
on  the  placard  will result 
in im
proved  fuel economy.  For those

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Cleaner 
Your Cl:
 receives its power  from 
a 
mixture  of gasoline  and air. The 
air is  taken  into the system through 
the air cleaner  so it's  important  to 
replace~he air cJea!1er at required 
intervals.  A dirty 
air cleaner  re
duces . engine  efficiency. 
Properly  Tuned'Engine 
Overall tuning (a check on tlin
ing , spark  plugs,  emission  control 
devices,  etc;) 
can improve  your 
car's  gas mi,leage . You  just 
can't 
expect  an "out-of-tune" engine  to 
give  you good  gas mileage  and 
cleaner  air. 
Excess  Weight 
Fuel economy is related to the 
work. the engine . must  do. The 
heavier  the load , the  more  power  it 
take
s. Keep  excess  weight  to a 
minimum  by removing  any per
sonal  effects  or luggage  from the 
car or trunk  when they are not 
needed. 
Tire Inflation 
Underinfiation  not only  causes 
needless  wear of the  tires,  but 
can 
also waste  gasoline. It's a good 
idea to check tire pressures 
regularly. 
Wheel  Alignment 
Incorrect "toe in" or "toe out" can 
have the effect,of dragging  your 
front  tires sideways 
and may cause 
premature tire  wear. 
It takes power 
to  carry  this extra  load and that 
takes  gas from  your tank. 
Catalytic  Converter 
The catalytic  converter is an 
emi ssio n control  device added to 
5-22  the 
exhaust  system to reduce  hy
drocarbon 
and carbon  monoxide 
pollutants  from the exhaust  gas 
stream. The converter contains 
beads which are coated  with  a cata
lytic  material  containing  platinum 
and  palladium. 
Use of the  catalytic  converter 
has  the advantage 
of allowing  the 
engine 
to be  re-tuned  for improved 
fuel  economy  anddriveability. 
The catalytic  converter  requires 
the  use 
of unleaded  fuel only, 
Unleaded gasoline is used  to re
duce  combustion  chamber deposits, 
corrosion 
and to  prevent  lead con
tamination 
of the  catalyst  that 
would  render  it ineffective. 
The  use 
of leaded  fuel will cause the COIO- . 
lytic converter  to become  ineffec
tive 
as an  emission  control device.
