Caution
DRIVE RANGE 'lDR"
Placing the selector lever in the "DR"
position provides a driving range for
most
normal city and highway driving.
It is unnecessary to shift the lever to
any other position when starting the
car from a standstill.
·DRIVE RANGE "5"
" S" position is for use when super per-
formance is needed for hill c\im bing or
increased acceleration in traffic, and for
"engine braking" down hill. The selector
lever
can be moved between "DR" and
"S " position at will under all operating
conditions.
LOW RANGE "La"
When it is desirable to keep the car in a
lower gear for descending very steep
hills or for exceptionally heavy pulling
through
mud or sand, the "Lo" position
should be used.
REVERSE "R"

complete stop before moving the selector
lever
into the reverse "R" F )sition.
When leaving the car unattended with en-
gine running, always place the selector lever
in neutral "N" and set the hand brake.
