Horn
The hom on your Monte Carlo
is actuated · by firmly pressing on
the pad in the center of the steering
wheel.
As a good motorist, use of the
horn should be kept at a minimum.
However, acquaint yourself as soon
as possible with this function of
your car, should it ever become
necessary to give a warning to a
pedestrian or another motorist.
Holding Car on an Upgrade
When stopped on an upgrade,
maintain your position by apply-
ing the brakes. Never hold the
car in place by accelerating en-
gine with transmission in gear.
This could cause damage by over-
heating the transmission (auto-
matic) or clutch (manual).
Parking Your Car
Always engage the parking
brake and place the automatic
transmission selector lever in
"Park" position when leaving your
car unattended. Also with auto-
matic transmissions, never park
for prolonged periods with engine
idling and transmission in gear,
especially if your car is equipped
with air conditioning. This prac-
tice is detrimental to the trans-
mission, due to overheating.
NOTE: For operation of hazard flasher, see page 41, in Section "In Case of Emergency."
