Clutch Adjustment; Headlight Beam Switch; Positraction Rear Axle - Chevrolet 1971 Camaro Owner's Manual

• Drum brake adjustment is made
automatically as the brakes are
applied while car is moving back-
wards.
• 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
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.
OTHER CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Positraction Rear Axle
The optional Positraction pro-
vides additional traction on snow,
ice, mud, sand, and gravel, par-
ticularly when one rear wheel is on
a surface providing poor traction.
During normal driving and cor-
nering, the Positraction unit func-
tions as a standard differential.

When one wheel encounters a slip-
pery surface, however, the Positrac-
tion directs driving force to the rear
wheel having the better traction.
