Jndicatol'-
Your driving instruments are grouped directly in front of the steering
wheel for quick, easy viewing. The wide hood over the entire dash
panel shields the instruments from glare and, at night, keeps reflections
of the panel lights from striking the windshield and disrupting your
vision.
SPEEDOMETER-
Dominating the instrument cluster is the speed-
ometer which registers the speed of the car in miles per hour as well as
accumulated mileage.
FUEL GAUGE -
Electrically operated, the fuel gauge operates
only while the ignition switch is turned on, returning to the empty
mark when the ignition is turned off.
TEMPERATURE GAUGE-Showing the engine coolant tem-
perature, the needle will normally register near the center of the
dial spread. Very hot weather, long hard driving or prolonged idling
may cause higher than normal indications. Should the needle move to
the H (HOD end of the dial, stop the engine until the cause of the
overheating is determined.
