3. To lock either rear door of sedans, simply move the inside door handle upward, whether the door is open or closed. The door will

Hood Lock The hood lock safeguards your battery, carburetor, and other under-the-hood equipment against theft and tampering
as long as the car doors are locked. The hood control (marked “H”) is located on the driver’s side of the car just below the lower end of
the instrument panel. To unlock the hood, pull the control until the automatic hood lock is released. To raise the hood, release the safety
latch as illustrated. As a safety measure, after raising the hood, remove the end of the hood prop from its bracket and place it in the hole
provided on the underside of the hood at the front.
Care should always be taken in raising or lowering the hood. Never try to force the hood lock or safety latch. This might affect adjustments
which would result in an improperly operating part.
Lower the hood firmly so that the automatic hood latch and the safety latch are fastened securely.

whenever either of the front doors is open.

this light operates on 2-door bodies when either front door is open and on 4-door bodies when either rear door is open.
There is no dome light in convertible models.
License Plate Light The light for the rear license plate is located in the center of the luggage compartment handle. The light
operates whenever the headlights are turned on.
