Power Steering
Power
steering assist
is provided
by a hydraulic pump driven by
the engine. When the
.
engine is
not running or if the power steer-
ing pump drive belt breaks, the
car can still be steered, but much
greater steering effort will be
required.
Tilt Steering Wheel
The tilt steering wheel (optional
equipment) can be tilted up above
normal position to provide addi-
tional room for entrance and exit
as well as selected driving posi-
tions below normal height. This
permits individual selection of the
most natural position for all driv-
ing 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
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.
Cruise-Master
The optional Cruise-Master
provides fully automatic speed
control for your comfort when
traveling on turnpikes, express-
ways,
or
other
non-congested
highways. The system automatic-
ally disengages whenever the brake
pedal is depressed.

To engage the control, accel-

push and release the engagement
button at the end of the tum signal
lever, and release accelerator pedal
pressure. The desired speed will
be automatically maintained.
When a lower cruising speed
is desired, press the engagement
button until the car slows to the
desired speed, then release the
button.
If a temporary increase in car
speed is desired, depress the accel-
