Parking Your Car; Tilt Steering Wheel - Chevrolet 1971 Camaro Owner's Manual

Parking Your Car
Always engage the parking brake
.and place the automatic transmis-
sion selector lever in "Park" posi-
tion when leaving your car unat-
tended. Also with automatic trans-
missions, never park for prolonged
periods with engine idling and
transmission in gear, especially if
your car is equipped with air con-
ditioning. This practice is detri-
mental to the transmission, due to
overheating.
Tilt Steering Wheel
The optional tilt steering wheel
can be tilted up above normal posi-
tion to provide additional room for
entrance and exit as well as selected
driving positions below normal
height. This permits individual se-
lection of the most natural position
for all driving conditions. On long
trips the steering wheel position can
be changed to minimize tension and
fatigue.
The tilt mechanism is operated
by lifting up on the small control
18
lever on the left side of the steering
column just below the directional
signal, moving the steering wheel to
the selected position, and releasing
the lever.
