ASH
TRAYS
There
are
two
large ash
trays
on
the
center
instrument
trim
panel.
On
air cushion
equipped
cars,
the
ash
tray
is
located
to
the
right
of
the
radio
controls
.
They
are
exposed
by
pulling
the
ash
tray
door
outward.
To remove
the
tray
for
cleaning,
simply lift it
out
of
its receptacle. Rear seat
ash
trays
may
be removed by lifting
them
out
of
their
armrest
receptacles.
LIGHTER
Push
the
lighter all
the
way in
to
operate.
When it
is
heated
sufficiently
to
use, it will
"snap"
back
to
normal position
with
an
audible
sound.
Avoid holding
the
lighter in
by
hand
while it
is
heating.
For
safety
all Oldsmobile cigar lighters
have a heat-sensitive terminal which breaks
the
circuit
if
the
lighter becomes
overheated.
ANTI-SPIN
DIFFERENTIAL
The
Anti-Spin
differential
(optional
at
extra
cost) provides
additional
traction
on
snow,
ice,
mud,
sand
and
gravel,
particularly
when
one
drive wheel
is
on a
surface providing
poor
traction.
During
normal
driving
and
cornering,
the
Anti-Spin
unit
functions
as a
standard
differential. When
one
wheel
encounters
a
slippery surface, however,
the
Anti-Spin
differential directs
the
driving force
to
the
wheel having
the
better
traction.
CAUTION:
As
with
any
vehicle,
care
should
be
taken
to
'
avoid
sudden
accelerations
when
both
drive
wheels
are
on
a
slippery
surface.
This
could
cause
both
drive
wheels
to
spin,
and
allow
the
vehicle
to
slide
sideways
on
the
crowned
surface
of
a
road
or
in
a
turn.
CORNERING
LIGHTS
Cornering lights are availabie as
optional
equipment
on
some
series.
They
operate
in
conjunction
with
the
directional signals.
When
the
directional signal
is
operating
in
either
direction,
with
the
headlights
or
parking lights
on,
the
corresponding
cornering light comes
on
to
provide
additional lighting in
the
direction
the
car
is
turning
.
The
lights
turn
off
when
the
directional signal switch cancels.
ELECTRIC
CLOCKS
The
normal electric
clock
is
automatically
regu lated
to
compensate
for lost
or
gained
time
whenever
the
clock
is
reset. If
