if the temperature should fall low
enough to freeze the solution.
CAUTION: Have the fluid level in the
washer reservoir checked regularly, with
special attention to keeping the reservoir

Keys
Two separate keys are provided for
your car. Each key has a different
cross section so that it can be inserted
only in certain locks. The key with the
square head and the letter "J"
stamped on it operates the ignition
switch, door locks. The key with the
oval head and the letter "K" is used
for the luggage compartment and glove
box locks. These compartments
should be locked and the key re-
moved from the car should it be
necessary to leave the ignition key
with an attendant.
The code number of each key is
stamped on a "knock-out" plug in
the key head. Your Chevrolet dealer
removed the key plugs and placed
them with the spare set of keys in
the special key envelope that was
given to you at the time of delivery.
Record the numbers on the key en-
velope and discard the key plugs.
Keep the key envelope in a safe place
such as your wallet, NOT IN THE
CAR, so that you can have duplicate
keys made in the event the original
keys are lost.
