OPERATING
SPEEDS
It is advisable that driving speeds be limited
to 50 m. p.h. for the first 500 miles and 65
m. p.h. for the next 500 miles.
It
should
also be remembered throughout the life of the car that when starting out with
a cold engine a great deal of wear can be eliminated by driving at a moder-
ate speed until the engine is thoroughly warm.
All instruments are conveniently located directly in front of the driver where
they can be seen with only a glance. The instruments included in the panel
tell the driver important things about the performance of the car and should
be frequently observed.
