front disc brakes have a built-in
wear indicator that
is designed to
make a high frequency, squealing,
or cricket-like warning sound when
the linings are worn to where re
placement
is required. The sound
will occur intermittently or con
tinuously when wheels are rolling,
but will change or cease completely
when the brake pedal
is applied
firmly.
See also the various brake
checks listed in the Chevrolet main
tenance schedule folder.
Automatic Brake Adjusters
• Brakes on this car (except for
the parking brake) are self
adjusting, designed to eliminate
periodic brake adjustments .
• Drum brake adjustment is made
automatically
as the brakes are
applied while car
is moving
backwards .
• Disc brake adjustment is made
automatically with each brake
application.
• If excess brake pedal travel de
velops, drive alternately back
ward and forward several times
and apply brakes firmly in each
direction.
• See your dealer if normal pedal
travel
is not restored, or if there
is a rapid increase in pedal travel,
which could be a sign of other
brake
trOUble.
Clutch Adjustment
Clutch adjustment should be
checked and adjusted periodically
as necessary to compensate for
22
clutch facing wear. To check, de
press pedal by hand until resistance
is felt. Free travel of pedal should
be approximately one inch; if very
little or no free travel
is evident,
clutch adjustment
is required.
Headlight Beam Switch
"High" and "low" headlight
beams are controlled by the floor
button at your left foot. The indi
cator, located in the speedometer
dial, will light up when the high
beams are in use.

1. Check that the parking brake is
released. If it is ...
2. Pull off the road and stop, care
fully-remembering that:
• Stopping distances may be
greater.
• Greater pedal effort may be re
quired.
• Pedal travel may be greater.
3.
Tryout brake operation by
starting and stopping on road
shoulder-then:
• If you judge such operation to
be safe, proceed cautiously at a
safe speed to nearest dealer for
repair.

. Headlight Beam Indicator
Light
The headlights of your car have
high and low beams to provide you with
proper night-time visibility
for most driving conditions. The
"low" beams are used during most
city driving. The
"high" beams are
especially useful when driving on
dark roads since they provide ex
cellent long range illumination.
The headlight beam indicator will
be on whenever the high beams or
"brights" are in use. The Headlight
Beam
Switch controls the headlight
beams (see Page 22) .
Light Switch
The three position light switch
controls the headlights, taillights,
parking lights, side marker lights,
instrument lights and dome lights
as shown. The headlamp circuit is
protected by a circuit breaker in the
light switch. An overload on the
breaker will cause the lamps
to
"flicker" on and off. If this condi
tion develops, have your headlamp
wiring checked immediately.

The head lamp circuit s are protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload on the breaker will cause the lamps to go on and off, or
in some cases to remain off. If this condition develops, have your wiring circuits checked immediately.
Fuses, located in the Junction Block beneath the dash on the driver's side are:

An Air Conditioning high blower speed fuse, 30 amp. is located in an
In-line fuse holder running from junction block to Air Conditioning relay.
Do not use fuses of higher amperage rating than those recommended above.
Fusible Links are incorporated into the wiring system. These are wires of such a gauge that they will fuse (or melt) before damage occurs to an entire
wiring harness in the event of an electrical overload. See your Chevrolet Dealer if fusible link replacement becomes necessary.
