STARTING AND OPERATING
DIMMER SWITCH
The dimmer switch
that
controls the headlight high/low beam
is
built
into the turn signal control.See the
"Steering Column Controls" section.
PARKING BRAKE
• To set the parking brake, fully
depress the foot pedal
at
the far left
side.
• For better holding power, first press
down the regular brake pedal with
the right foot. Then hold it while
setting the parking brake with
. the
left foot.
•
To
release the parking brake, pull the
"Brake
Release" lever located
at
the
lower left
of
the instrument panel.
• To help remind you,
the
brake
system warning light
is
designed
to
come on if
the
parking brake control
is
not fully released and the ignition key
is
on.
• Never drive the
car
with the parking brake set as this may overheat
the
rear
brakes reducing their effectiveness and causing excessive
wear or damage.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
FUEL GAGE
The fuel gage, in operation only when the
ignition switch
is
on, indicates the
quantity
of
fuel remaining in the tank.
The
far left
mark
on the gage indicates Empty
(E), while the
fanight
indicates Full (F).
The needle does not return to empty with
the ignition
OFF
.
Some normal variations
in
reading will
occur, as noted below-
• Needle does not move from Full
(F)
until substantial distance has been
driven.
• Tank
is
not empty when needle
is
on
Empty (E). A fuel reserve (about two
gallons)
is
designed into
the
fuel gage system.
• Needle moves when braking, accelerating or making turns. This
is
caused by fuel movement
in
the gas tank.
• Needle occasionally indicates less than Full (F) after gas
tank
is
filled. This will occur if the
car
is
not level when filled, or automatic
pump nozzle shuts off too soon.
