Important To operate the No-Draft ventilators in the front
compartment windows, first lower the window half way, as
shown in the illustration, in order to release the ventilator from
the channel section of the window glass. The ventilator may then
be turned to any desired position and the window may be raised.
In order to make sure the car is safe against intrusion when the
car is to be locked, the ventilators should be closed. In closing
the front compartment ventilators, first lower the window half
way, shut the No Draft ventilator, and raise the window. This
securely locks both window sections.
The front compartment is provided with a weather-proof cowl
ventilator in addition to the No-Draft system. This ventilator
is controlled by the knob at the right-hand side of the steering
column and may be opened for increased air circulation in the
front compartment as desired. The design of the cowl ventilator
is such that it may be kept open in any weather, without possi-
bility of rain entering the driving compartment.

The windshield cleaner consists of two wiper blades operated
simultaneously by suction from a vacuum pump on the engine.
On closed cars the wipers are controlled by one push button
located on the header-board above the center of the windshield.
On open and convertible cars, each wiper is controlled separately
by the two buttons located on the cowl at each side of the center
section above the instrument panel.

The driver's seat on closed cars may be adjusted to suit in-;
dividual requirements in giving the most comfortable reach to thei

Cordless lighters are provided on the instrument panel and in
the smoking sets of the vari-
ous body styles. These lighters
have a green translucent button
through which the glow of the
heating element may be seen

all the way into its socket and
hold it there until the glow of
the heating element is seen;

press it in its socket, hold until the glow
is seen; then remove it.
A compartment for the tools
is located under the front seat except in 5-passenger coupes.
In these cars it is located under the rear seat. A compartment
for tire chains is provided in the left hand front fender corres-
ponding to the battery box on the right-hand side.
It is important that the tools be placed in the tool compart-
ment in such a way that they do not interfere with the proper
placing of the seat cushion or with the seat adjusting me-
chanism. The jack should be placed under the driver's seat
with the base toward the rear and the remainder of the
tools should be arranged as shown in figure 20.
