AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION '
The pointer on the indicator in the instrument panel cluster indicates the gear range the
transmission is in. (With a Console the
indicator is on the Console panel, located on the floor at the driver's right.) The Selector Lever is mounted on the right side of the
steering column. Pull the lever toward you and move it to the desired gear range. Gear
ranges are as follows:
"P" Parking. Supplements parking brake by
locking the transmission. Engine' can be
started in this range. Never use " P " while
car is in motion. Always apply parking brake while in this range.
"R" Reverse. Place your foot on the brake
pedal before selecting this range. An auto· matic safety control makes it impossible to
shift into Reverse at forward speeds above 10 miles per hour.
"N " Neutral. Use when car is standing at idle for prolonged period with engine running.
12 Engine can be started in this range.
"0 " Drive. For most city and highway driving.
"2" Second. For driving slowly in heavy city
traffic or on mountain roads where more precise speed control is desirable. Use it also when climbing long grades, and for "engine
braking" when descending moderately steep grades.
CAUTION:
To prevent IICes s engine speed do not ex·
ceed 60 miles per hour In this range.
" 1" First. For driving up very steep hills and for "engine braking" at low speeds (25 miles
per hour or less) when going down. In snow,
sand or mud, car can often be moved by alternately moving from Drive and Reverse with the accelerator slightly depressed to
achieve a "rocking motion.
CAUTION:
To prevent excess engine speed do not ex­
ceed 40 miles per hour In this range.
Towing. For short distances put transmission in Neutral, but don't exceed 35 mph. For long distances (more than 100 miles), or If the transmiSSion is not operative, the car should be towed with rear wheels off the ground or with the propeller shaft disconnected.
Assist Starting Procedure (Automatic and Manual Transmission). Your battery must contain an adequate charge to provide prompt starting power to the engine. If it does not, it may require "boosting" by transferring power t o it from a fully-charge battery. When this is done the negative cable on the charging bat­tery must be attached only to the negative (- ) post, and positive (+ ) to positive. Each post IS stamped on top. This precaution will prevent possible wiring damage to your car.
Assist starting can also be done by having the car pushed from behind. Make sure the bumpers on both cars align properly. If you have an automatic transmission put the selector lever in "N" (neutral) and when you have been pushed to about 15 mph, turn the ignition key to "On", press the accelerator pedal about half-way down and move the selector lever to "I" (first) gear. When the engine starts shift to "0" (drive) gear.
With a m anual transmission, press the clutch pedal and hold it there; then shift to Second or High gear. When a speed of about 10 mph is reached, press the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to "On" and slowly release the clutch pedal and engine should start.
Do not get an assist start by having t h e cal towed as it could be damaged by being thrust forward suddenly when the engine starts.

Resulting color mav rub off and webbing strength may be affected.
o Adjustable Steering Wheel. Steering wheel can be moved to any of seven different positions. It can be moved away from the lap area when entering or leaving the car. It can be adjusted to suit the comfort of any SIZe driver. Changing the wheel posi­tion on long trips helps relieve fatigue. To adjust the wheel, simply hft up the small lever adjacent to the turn signal control, move the wheel up or down, as desired, and release the lever to lock the wheel firmly in place. Wheel position may be changed while driving.
~ Prismatic Day and Night Mirror. Annoy-ing and dangerous headlight glare-back when driving at night can be elimmated by moving the small lever under the mirror, pictured here. o Six-Way Custom Seat Adjustment. Your front seat track can easily be adjusted In a variety of positions by your Dealer or yourself to suit your personal requirements. It will adjust forward or back, up or down and its tilt can be changed to provide maxi­mum comfort. The manual seat movement
lever may still be used to obtain the desired forward or backward positions.
Q Parking Brake Warning S ignal. Red light in parking brake release lever blinks red when engine is running with park­ing brake on. Prevents unnecessary brake wear.
Emergency Warning Flasher. This flasher system protects you during emergency stops on the highway at night. By pu lIing a switch on the instrument panel, front' and rear directiona I signals flash intermittently to warn on-coming cars in both lanes. Flasher will operate with the ignition off, permitting driver \0 lock car in the event it is necessary to leave for assistance.
41) Ash Receivers and Lighter. Separate ash receivers for driver and passenger are provided on the lower edge of the instru­ment panel. Pressure on the tab at the rear enables the ash receiver to be removed for cleaning. On some models an ash receiver is Installed on the front seat back lor the con­venience of rear seat passengers.
A lighter is located next to the driver's ash receiver. Push in the knob, but don't hold it. When heated, it will pop out automatically. An ash receiver in Monaco models is provided in rear end of Console.
