STARTING MOTOR CONTROL
The starting pedal next to the accelerator meshes
the
starting
motor
drive
pinion
with
the
flywheel
gear
and
also
completes
the
electrical
contact
to
operate
the
starting
motor.
Release
the
pedal
as soon as the engine starts.
HAND BRAKE
The
hand
brake
control
is
located
under
the
edge
of
the
instrument
panel
at
the
left
of
the
steering
column.
You
should
make
it
a
practice
to
set
the
brake
when
parking.
Pull
up
on
the
control
handle
to
set
the
brake
and
release
it
by
turning
the
handle
one-quarter
turn
either
right
or
left.
Should
you
wish
to
make
an
extra
hard
brake
application
when
parking
on
a
steep
hill,
pull
up
the
control
handle
and
at
the
same
time
ipo
the
foot
brake
pedal.
When
parking
on
a
hill,
always
cramp
the
front
wheels
toward
the
curb
or
engage
reverse
gear
by
moving
the
gearshift
lever
to
the
reverse
position.
WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL
The
windshield
wiper
control
is
mounted
in
the
center
of
the
instrument
panel
at
the
top.
Turn-
ing
the
control
knob
to
the
right
operates
the
wipers.
Speed
of
operation
may
be
adjusted
by
turning
the

the
amount
necessary
to
secure
any
desired
speed.
OVERDRIVE
If
your
car
is
equipped
with
an
overdrive,
use
it
whenever possible to secure the greatest
pleasure and saving of fuel. You should not
use
it
however,
when
driving
in
mountainous
country or when descending steep hills. You
will have more stable control of your car if
you use conventional drive when on roads
glazed with ice.
To engage overdrive, you need only to push
in
the
overdrive
control
button
at
the
end
of
the
instrument
panel.
This
may
be
done
at
any
car
speed.
When
this
is
done
overdrive
operation
becomes
automatic
at
car
speeds
above
approxi-
mately
30
miles
per
hour,
as
soon
as
you
release
the
accel-
erator momentarily.
When
you
use
overdrive,
acceleration
is
reduced
because
of
the
speed
ratio.
Should
you
desire
to
pass
another
car
or
require
fast
speedup,
press
the
accelerator
firmly
to
the
toe
board.
This
trips
a
switch
which
temporarily
disengages
the
overdrive
to
provide
the
increased
pickup
you
desire.
To
shift
back
into
overdrive,
it
is
only
necessary
to
again
release
the
accelerator
momentarily.
If
overdrive
is
not
desired
simply
pull
out
the
overdrive
control
button.
This
may
be
dd
when
your
car
is
in
motion.
If
the
control
is
hard
to
pull
out,
press
the
accel-
erator
to
the
toe
board.
"There
may
be
slight
gear
clash
if
you
are
traveling
less
than
about
25
miles
an
hour,
in
which
case
speed
up
the
engine
slightly
until
the
gears
to
be
shifted
are
turning
about
the
same
speed,
which
will
allow
a
quiet
shift.
А
free
wheeling
unit
is
built
into
the
overdrive
which
makes
it
unnecessary
when
driving
in
overdrive,
for
you
to
depress
the
clutch
pedal
when
shifting
gears
at
speeds
under
21
to
25
miles
an
hour
except
when
starting
or
stopping.
