Clock; Cigarette Lighter; Windshield Wiper And Washer; Air Vents - Chevrolet 1971 Camaro Owner's Manual

Clock
Reset the clock, if your car is so
equipped, by pulling out the knob
and turning the hands clockwise if
slow, counterclockwise if fast. This
will, if the clock error is five min-
utes or more, automatically com-
pensate for time gain or lag. Sev-
eral resettings, several days apart,
may be needed to properly adjust
the clock mechanism. Have your
clock cleaned and oiled by a com-
petent clock serviceman at least
every two years.
Cigarette Lighter
The accessory cigarette lighter is
located on the instrument panel
face. To operate, push it in. When
it becomes heated, it automatically
pops out ready for use.
Windshield Wiper
and Washer
The windshield wiping system
operates at two speeds and is de-
signed to wipe clear designated
areas of the windshield under most
inclement weather conditions. The
windshield wipers work electrically
and are not affected by engine op-
eration.
Push the control lever to the
right
to
start the electric windshield
wiper. The two-speed electric wiper
has both a "low" and a "high" speed
position.
Pressing the control will send a
measured amount of water or other
cleaning agent onto the windshield
and will also cause the wiper lever
to move, thus starting the wiper
motor. The wiper will then con-
tinue to operate until manually
turned off at the wiper lever.
Fill the washer jar only
%
full
during the winter to allow for ex-
pansion if the temperature should
fall low enough to freeze the so-
lution.
• Check washer fluid level regu-
larly-do it frequently when the
24
weather is bad.
• Use GM OPTIKLEEN to pre-
vent freezing damage, and to
provide better cleaning.
• Do not use radiator anti-freeze in
windshield washer; it could
cause paint damage.
• In cold weather, warm the wind-
shield with defrosters before us-
ing washer-to help prevent ic-
ing that may seriously obscure
vision.
Air Vents
The air vents in each kick panel
admit air from the vent grille just
ahead of the windshield. Control
knobs open and close the vents.
The amount of air entering the
car through this system is depend-
ent upon vehicle speed.
Four Season Air Conditioning
equipped cars have no kick panel
vents since the vents are a part of
the air conditioning system. The
