Four Way Hazard
Warning
Flasher
• Use the warning flasher to warn
other drivers any time your
ve­
hicle becomes a traffic hazard,
day or night.
• Avoid stopping on the roadway
if possible.
• Turn on the hazard warning
flasher, with engine ignition off
or on, by pushing in on the but­
ton located just below the steer­
ing wheel.
• If the brake pedal is depressed,
the lights will not flash
but will
glow continuously instead.
• To cancel the flasher, pull the
button outward.
"Rocking" Car
If it becomes necessary to rock
the car to free it from sand, mud or
snow, move the selector lever
from
"D" to "R" in a repeat pattern
while simultaneously applying
moderate pressure to the accelera­
tor. Do not race engine. A void
spinning wheels when trying to free
car.
Towing
Proper lifting or towing equip­
ment
is necessary to prevent dam­
age to the vehicle during any tow­
ing operation. Detailed towing in­
formation is available at your
dealer and has been provided to
tow truck operators responsible for
movement of disabled or locked
ve­
hicles. State and local laws appli­
cable to vehicles in tow must also
be followed.
Your Camaro may be towed on
all four wheels, at speeds of less
than 35 MPH, for distances up to
38
50 miles, provided driveIine, axle
and transmission are otherwise nor­
mally operable.
For such towing,
parking brake must be released,
and transmission must be in neu­
tral (ignition lock turned to
OFF
position). Attachments must be to
main structural members of the car,
not to bumpers or bracketing,
Safety chains or cables should be
used. Remember that power steer­
ing assist will not be available when
engine
is inoperative.
Emergency Starting
• Never tow the car to start
because the surge forward when
the engine starts could cause a
collision with the tow vehicle.
• Engines in vehicles with auto­
matic transmissions cannot be
started by pushing the car.
