Pontiac 1955 Owner's Manual page 12

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR WHENEVER YOU LEAVE IT UNATTENDED.
SAFETY FEATURE—On all 1955 model four-door sedans the rear door lock
is designed and set so that when the door locking button is depressed the
inside door handle is inoperative. This is a very important safety feature,
especially when children are riding in the car as it virtually eliminates the
chance of a child accidentally opening the door and falling from the car.
ASH TRAY—The ash tray may be re
moved by pulling the tray out against the
stop and depressing the stop spring at rear
of ash tray with thumb or finger. To
replace, merely place the ash tray in the
grooves provided and push into place.
VENTILATOR CONTROLS-Two control
knobs, located on the instrument panel below
the centrally located glove box door are used
to control the amount of outside air entering
the car through the two duct type ventilators
in the side kick pads. The amount that either
the left or right knob is pulled out will regu
late the amount of air entering the car from
that particular duct.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT-Seat adjustment
is made by pushing down the small lever on
the left side of the front seat and sliding
the seat back or forward to the position that
suits you best. On long trips, changing the
adjustment occasionally will be found help
ful in avoiding fatigue.
SUN VISORS-Folded up against the
top directly in front of the driver and
front passenger are two sun visors. The
visors may be slid toward the center of
the car (except for the Catalina and
Convertible styles), as well as swung around to either right or left to
protect your eyes when sun is at either side.
RATTLE-PROOF TOOL STORAGE-The
annoying rattles often caused by loose car
tools in the trunk, are eliminated by proper
use of the tool anti-rattle spring. When re
moving tools it is only necessary to remove the
connecting ring on the right side from the
hook on the floor.
