INSTRUMENTS
AND
CONTROLS
•
The location of the controls and instruments on your Pontiac has been
planned with the idea of comfort and convenience for the driver,
which also contributes to greater safety. This arrangement is the
result of the latest developments in automotive engineering, research,
and styling. Maybe you helped in this design and arrangement of the
instrument panel and controls;' and
if
you
have owned Pontiacs
previously, you will probably be familiar with most of them. If you
are a lirst-time Pontiac owner, however, it will be a good idea to
read this section carefully.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT-The
seat adjust-
ment is easily made by pushing down the
small lever on the left end of the front seat
and sliding yourself back and forth until
the seat is in a position that seems to suit
you the best. On long trips, changing the
adjustment occasionally will be found help-
ful in avoiding fatigue.
IGNITION AND LIGHT SWITCHES-
CIGAR LIGHTER-The
ignition SWitch,
cigar lighter and light switch are conven-
iently located on the instrument panel, and
the instrument dials are grouped for best
visibility. The cigar lighter, located by the
. ignition switch, is operated by pushing in-
ward on the lighter, which automatically starts the
element heating. When the proper temperature is
reached, the li'ghter clicks back into position for use.
It is unnecessary
to hold the lighter in by hand.
As a further convenience to the owner the ignition.
switch is illuminated when the light switch is pulled out.
