The location
of the controls and
instruments on
your
Pontiac has
been
planned
with the
idea
of
comfort and
convenience
for the driver, which
also
contributes
to greater
safety.
BATTERY INDICATOR-The battery indicator
shows
the current
flow
to and
from the battery. Electrical
current
going from the gen-
erator to the battery registers on the "eHG"
(charge)
side. The
indicator will
show a
"DIS"
(discharge) when
more electrical energy
is being
consumed
than is being
received from
the generator.
FUEL GAUGE-The fuel
gauge
indicates the quantity of
gasoline
in
the tank
only
when the ignition is turned on. When the ignition is
turned
off,
the
pointer
drops back beyond the "E"
(empty)
mark.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE-The oil
pressure
gauge indicates the
pressure in the
engine's full
pressure lubrication
system.
This shows
that the oil pump is working, but does not indicate how much oil
there is in the
crankcase.
At average
driving
speeds the gauge
should
read approximately "40." If indicator does not move above zero or
fluctuates greatly,
you should check
the
oil
level immediately; and, if
low, add oil to bring to the proper level. If the
oil
level is not low
and
fluctuations
continue,
you
should
contact a Pontiac dealer immediately.
WATER TEMPERATURE INDICATOR-The temperature of the
cooling water in
your engine
is shown by the water temperature indi-
cator.
When the
engine first
warms
up
the temperature will register
slightly higher than
when
engine reaches operating temperature. If the
temperature indicator needle goes to the "HOT" mark,
you
should
have the cause located immediately. (For complete details on the
care
of the Pontiac
cooling system
see page 24.)
