STARTING AND OPERATING
HEADLIGHT, DOME LIGHT AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT
SWITCH
The headlight switch controls the headlights, parking and side marker
lights, taillights, interior lights and the instrument panel lights.
All lights except headlights and dome light
are
illuminated when the
switch
is
pulled out to its middle position. All lights except the dome light
are
illuminated when the switch
is
in the full out position.
Clockwise and counterclockwise movement
of
the switch controls the
brightness
of
the instrument panel lights. When turned fully clockwise,
the instrument panel lights will go off. To operate the dome light, turn
the control switch
fully counterclockwise.
The headlight beam changer (dimmer switch)
is
in the turn signal lever;
see
"TURN
SIGNAL
AND
HEADLIGHT
BEAM
LEVER"
in this
section.
ELECTRIC CLOCK
The clock in your
car
has a self-regulating feature.
If
your clock loses or
gains time each day, resetting to the correct time will cause the clock to
self-adjust. A time change
of
10
minutes will cause the clock to change
approximately
45
seconds per day. Several resettings may be needed to
properly adjust the clock mechanism. Best accuracy can be obtained
by
resetting the clock each day
at
the same time; for example, on the way to
work.
The
last direction
that
the stem
is
turned will determine
if
the
adjustment will cause clock to gain or lose time. Counterclockwise will
slow it down, clockwise will speed it up.
To reset for time zone changes
or
day light savings time changes, turn the
clock either ahead or behind
at
least one and one-half hours, then return
to the correct time. This will cancel the self-adjustment.
