Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Clock Reset the clock, if your car is so
equipped, by pulling out the knob
and turning the hands clockwise if
slow, counterclockwise if fast. This
will, if the clock error
is five min­
utes or more, automatically com­
pensate for time gain
or lag. Sev­
eral resettings, several days apart,
may be needed to properly adjust
the clock mechanism. Have your
clock cleaned and oiled by a com­
petent clock serviceman at least
every two years.
Cigarette Lighter
The accessory cigarette lighter is
located on the instrument panel
face.
To operate, push it in. When
it becomes heated, it automatically
pops out ready for use.
Windshield Wiper
and Washer
The windshield wiping system
operates at two speeds and
is de­
signed to wipe clear designated areas
of the windshield under most
inclement weather conditions. The
windshield wipers work electrically
and are not affected by engine op­
eration. Push the control lever to the
right to start the electric windshield
wiper. The two-speed electric wiper
has both a
"low" and a "high" speed
position. Pressing the control will send a
measured amount of water or other
cleaning agent onto the windshield
and will also cause the wiper lever
to move, thus starting the wiper
motor. The wiper will then con­
tinue to operate until manually
turned off at the wiper lever.
Fill the washer jar only
% full
during the winter to allow for ex­
pansion if the temperature should
fall low enough to freeze the so­
lution.
• Check washer fluid level regu­
larly-do it frequently when the
weather is bad.

• Use fluid such as GM
OPTIKLEEN to prevent freez­
ing damage, and to provide bet­
ter cleaning.
• Do not use radiator anti-freeze in
windshield washer; it could
cause paint damage.
• In cold weather, warm the wind­
shield with defrosters before us­
ing
washer-to help prevent ic­
fig that may seriously obscure
vision.
Ventilation System
Your Camaro incorporates a
ventilation system that provides
improved ventilation comfort,
made possible by the addition of
air vent provisions in the rear body
lock pillar. Another feature of the
system
is continuous low-speed
operation of the air conditioner
blower, resulting
in an uninter­
rupted supply of outside air
flow
