ELECTRIC CLOCK-Your electric clock
(Standard in Bonneville and Star Chief
Models) has been carefully checked and
regulated by the maker for good time
keeping. Obviously,
between the time the
clock
is
built and the time the car is placed
in your hands, many things have taken
I
~
)
place, some of which can conceivably affect
_~
the original precise adjustment. This
does
.
not mean that the quality of the clock has been impaired in
any way,
but it does mean that we must ask you to check the adjustment of
the clock and make some correction, if necessary.
Set your clock and then check it at the end of
every week.
If your
clock gained time, pull the stem out and turn the "HANDS" counter-
clockwise to the correct time .. If your clock lost time, pull the stem
out and turn the
"HANDS"
clockwise to the correct
time.
It is very important that you follow the above procedure due to the
fact that your clock has automatic regulation built into the setting
device.
This procedure should be repeated at weekly
intervals
if the clock is
not keeping accurate time.
WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL KNOB-The windshield wiper
control knob is located on the extreme left curvature of the instrument
panel near the door opening. Turning the knob clockwise starts wiper;
the amount that knob is turned determines wiper
speed.
To operate
windshield washer
(A~CESSORY)
depress button located in center
of wiper control.
IGNITION AND STARTER SWITCH-As a convenience to you
the ignition switch is illuminated when the combination headlamp
and .instrument panel light switch control knob is pulled out. The
ignition switch has four positions: OFF when the
key is
vertical, ON
when key is turned right to first position, START when key is turned
to full right position against stop and ACCESSORY when key is
turned to the
left.
The ACCESSORY position enables you to operate
accessories connected through this position without having the engine
running or the ignition switch ON.
