Rear View Mirrors; Air Vents - Chevrolet station wagon 1970 Important Operating, Maintenance And Safety Instructions

Rearview Mirrors
Rearview mirrors are not intended
for use while backing up, or for sur-
veillance of conditions close to the
rear of the car. It is suggested that the
driver turn his head and look to the
rear during backing operations.
The inside day - night rearview
mirror incorporates a triple-jointed
mounting so the driver can position
the mirror vertically and horizontally
to suit his driving needs. It is only
necessary to exert enough pressure
to overcome the friction load at the
three joints in order to adjust the
mirror to any position within the
physical limits of its travel.
GOOD DRIVING PRACTICE: A good
driver always scans the area to the
rear BEFORE entering the vehicle
and backing up, and makes a habit
of using his rearview mirrors while
driving, so as to be aware of the rear-
ward aspect of his total driving envi-
ronment.

ahead of the windshield. Control
knobs open and close the vents.
On cars equipped with Astro Venti-
lation, dash outlets and kick panel
outlets complement each other to pro-
vide the desired air flow into the car.
For maximum air flow from the dash
outlets, the kick pad control should be
pushed in to close the kick pad vents.
The amount of air entering the car
through this system is dependent upon
vehicle speed.

Air Conditioning equipped cars have
no kick panel vents since the vents
are a part of the air conditioning sys-
tem. However, the upper vent control
knob can be adjusted to regulate the
desired amount of conditioned air
flowing through the upper vent outlet.
