to extreme down position.
If heat becomes exces
sive, pull up HEAT knob to desired position.
Additional rear seat
compartment heat may be
obtained by opening the
heater outlet located in the
seat riser.
Heater Operating Tips
The Direct Air Heater receives air from the air inlet
louvers below the
rear window. Clean snow from this
opening
and surrounding areas before operating the
heater.
Operate the heater for several minutes before turn
ing on the defroster. This will clear the system of moisture
and help prevent windshield fogging.
Keep
all windows and vents closed to reduce drafts,
and noise.
Quicker defrosting may
be obtained when the rear
seat heater outlets are closed.
AIR CONDITIONING
The optional air conditioner provides controlled con
ditioned air at each of the three dash panel mounted
outlets.
Air conditioner
and heater are two separate units
with a common control
housing-The air condition controls function as follows.

COOL -Depress the COOL
lever as required to pro
vide the desired condi
tioned air temperature
through the dash outlets.
COOL lever must be de
pressed past detent be
fore cooling fan will
operate.
FAN-Vary the fan switch as
necessary to satisfy com
fort requirements. The FAN
switch must be turned ON to at least "lOW" speed
during all cooling operations.
AIR-For maximum cooling capacity during periods of
extreme heat and humidity, and when first turning
on the system, the air lever should
be in the full
"UP" position. Depress lever to satisfy needs under
less
severe cooling requirements.
AIR CONDITIONER OPERATING TIPS
Always operate the Air Conditioning System with all
windows
and vents closed to eliminate drafts, wind and
road noise. The cover plate furnished should remain
installed over the engine air recirculating slot during
the season when cooling
is required. This plate should
be removed, and stowed, when outside temperatures are
continuously below 60°F.
For the best system operation at altitudes over 4000
ft., do not operate with control set to maximum cooling.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine level, remove the oil gauge rod (dip stick), wipe it
clean and reinsert it firmly for an accurate reading.
The oil level should be maintained in the safety margin,
neither going above the FULL line nor below the ADD
mark. Reseat the gauge firmly after taking the reading.
DO NOT OVERFilL.
COOLING SYSTEM CARE
The engine fan belt should be checked for tightness
at regular intervals. When a new belt is needed use only
the approved premium belt available from your Chev
rolet dealer. If any other belt is installed, replace with
recommended belt when possible.
Watch the TEMP-PRESS and GEN-FAN indicators on the
instrument
panel for signs of overheating.
Air inlet louvers, located in the panel below the rear
window, supply air for engine combustion and cooling
and for the Direct Air Heater. Make sure the louvers are
never sealed or blocked.
TIRES
The factory installed tires on your car are selected
to provide the best all around tire performance for all
normal operation. When inflated as recommended in
the
tire inflation pressure table they have the load
carrying capacity to operate satisfactorily at all loads
up to and including the specified full rated load, at all
normal highway speeds.

1. Tire inflation pressures
may increase as much as six (6) pounds per square
inch (PSI) when hot. 2. For continuous high speed operation (over 75 MPH) increase tire inflation pressures four (4) pounds per square inch over the recommended pressures up to a maximum of 32 pounds per square inch cool for 4-ply rating tires.
When the 4 psi pressure adjustment for sustained high speed with maximum vehicle load would require inflation pressures above the maximum allowable, speed must be limited to 75 miles per hour.

3. Cool tire inflation pressure: after vehicle has been inoperative for three (3)
hours or more or driven less than one (1) mile. Hot tire inflation pressure:
after vehicle has been driven ten (10) miles or more at 60-70 mph. 4. Vehicles with luggage racks do not have a load limit greater than specified. 5. When towi ng trai lers, the allowable passenger and cargo load must be reduced by an amount equal to the trailer tongue load on the trailer hitch.
