A vacuum reserve tank is provided which will normally retain suffi-
cient vacuum to allow one or two applications of the brake pedal after
the engine stops. Even when the vacuum reserve is used up your brakes
will continue to operate through the hydraulic mechanism. However,
more pedal pressure is required to assure brake actuation and it is
advisable to--try the brakes with no vacuum to get the feel of the brake
pedal under these conditions.
CAUTION: When starting or parking on a grade with a car with a Synchro-
Mesh transmission, the parking brake should be used. Cars equipped with
Hydra-Matic transmissions should be left in park position under the same
circumstances.
SAFEGUARD SPEEDOMETER-The new Safeguard Speedometer
provides a warning signal that the driver is above desired speed. The
control switch located on the instrument panel allows settings of 25
mph, 35 mph,
45.
mph, 55 mph, 65 mph and "off."
After the switch is set to a particular speed and a speed in excess of
this setting is reached, a buzzer will be heard over a 9 mph range and
an amber warning light will be illuminated. Speeds over the 9 mph
limit will cause the
signals
to cease. When speed is reduced to the
9 mph r~nge, the signals will again function

down to the pre-selected
speed.

SPORTABLE RADIO-The Sportable Radio is a fully transistorized
combination car and portable radio. When used in the car the radio
is powered by the car battery and plays through the regular radio
speaker. When used out of the car the radio runs on self-contained
batteries and speaker.
The left hand knob on the portable radio is the "off-on" switch and
volume control, while the right hand knob functions as a manual
station selector. A separate tone control is used with the radio in the
car. The 4 dry cell. batteries in this radio should be treated like those
in any personal radio or flashlight. Corrosion will take place if they
are left in position without use over reasonable periods of
time.
A locking mechanism, located in the glove compartment, must be
depressed to remove the radio from the car. Locking the glove com-
partment
will
assist in preventing unauthorized removal of the radio.
All Pontiac radios carry civil defense CONELRAD markings at 640 and
[ 54]
1240 kilocycles to identify these lo-
cations for emergency broadcasts.
THE DELUXE RADIO-The left
hand knob turns the set off and on
and controls the volume. The flat
spacer behind the knob changes the
tone from base to treble when
