OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BREAKING-IN PERIOD
Sound design and precision manufacturing methods
will
permit you to operate your new Corvoir in a nor-
mal manner from its very first mile without adhering to a
formal "break-in" schedule. However, during the first
few hundred miles of driving you can, by observing a
few simple precautions, add to the future performance
and economy of your
car.
It
is
recommended that your speed during the first
500
miles
be confined to a maximum of 60 M.P.H., but
do not drive for extended periods at ony one constant
speed, either fast or slow. During this period, ovoid full
throttle "iack-rabbit" starts and quick, abrupt stops.
Gentle braking during the first few hundred miles of
operation will result
in
longer brake life and better
future
performance.
Avoid hard stops especially during
the first
200
miles of operation since brake misuse during
this period
will
destroy much future brake efficiency.
Always drive at a moderate speed until the engine
has completely warmed up.
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
Proper maintenance and wise operation
will
com-
bine to help you achieve maximum fuel economy with
your Corvair. Your Authorized Chevrolet Dealer can
properly tune and maintain your car but wise operation
is your
responsibility.
Give the car sufficient warm -up
time, do not make
"jack
rabbit" starts or skidding
stops,
and drive at reasonable speeds and as steady as traffic
permits to gain the benefits of all the economy built into
your Corvair.
CAUTION: Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas produced by the engine of any
car.
It ;s odor·
less,
so
you cannot detect its presence. Be safe. Never start or run engine
in a
closed garage.
