Parking Brake; Clutch Adjustment; Windshield Wiper And Washer - Chevrolet Impala 1969 Owner's Manual

CAUTION: Brake linings should be periodically inspected for wear by a qualified technician. The frequency of this inspection depends
upon driving conditions such as traffic or terrain, and also the driving techniques of individual owners. Your Chevrolet Dealer is best
qualified to advise you as to how often this inspect:on slJould be performed. When brakes require relining, use Genuine General
Motor Parts.
Parking Brake
The parking brake operates inde-
pendently . of the regular foot brake
hydraulic system. It is applied by fully
depressing the foot pedal which is lo-
cated to the lower left side of the front
compartment under the instrument
panel. The parking brake is released
by pulling the "BRAKE RELEASE"
lever located directly over the park-
ing brake foot pedal. Never drive the
car with the parking brake engaged.
Clutch Adjustment
Clutch adjustment should be
checked and adjusted periodically as
necessary to compensate for clutch
wear. To check, depress pedal by hand
until resistance is felt. Free travel of
pedal should be approximately one
inch; if very little or no free travel is
evidence, clutch adjustment is re-
quired.
Windshield Wiper and
Washer
The windshield wiping system oper-
ates at two speeds and is designed to
wipe clear designated areas of the
windshield under most inclement
weather conditions. The windshield
wipers work electrically and are not
affected by engine operation.
Push the control lever to right to
start the electric windshield wiper.

The two-speed electric wiper has both
a "low" and a "high" speed position.
NOTE: If recessed windshield wipers are
frozen in place, break them free the same
way you would exposed wipers by using
your regular windshield ice scraper to chip
the ice and jar the wiper assembly loose.
Pressing the button marked "push"
will send a measured amount of water
or other cleaning agent onto the wind-
shield and will also cause the wiper
lever to move to the right, thus start-
ing the wiper motor. The wiper will
then continue to operate until manu-
ally turned off by the wiper lever.
