HEADLIGHTS
The three-position light switch is operated as shown.
The head lamp and parking lamp circuits are protected
by a circuit breaker. An overload condition will cause
the headlights to "flicker" on and off. If this flickering
condition is experienced, the headlamp circuit should
be checked by your Authorized Chevrolet Dealer.
HEADLIGHT BEAM SWITCH
,"High and "low" headlight beams are controlled
by the floor button at your left foot. The indicator,
located in the speedometer aial, will light up when the
high beams are in use . Always use "Iow beam" when
approaching or following other cars.
DIRECTIONAL AND LANE CHANGE SIGNALS
The ignition switch must be in the "on" position in
order for the directional signals to be operational.
16
The directional signal lever
is located on the left side of
the steering column imme-
diately under the steering
wheel. The lever is moved
upward to signal a right
turn and downward to sig-
nal a left turn. Lamps on
the front and rear of the car
transmit this signal to other
motorists and pedestrians.
In a normal turning situation such as turning a corner,
the turn signal lever is cancelled and returns to the neutral
position automatically after the turn is completed. In
some driving situations such as changing lanes on an
expressway, the steering wheel is not turned back suffi-
ciently after completing the turn to automatically cancel
the turn signal lever. For convenience in such a turn, use
the lane change feature of this directional signal system.
This feature allows the driver to move the directional
signal lever part way in the direction of the intended
gradual turn and hold it there. The lever returns to the
neutral or cancelled position when the driver releases his
hold on the lever.
A green light in the instrument cluster flashes to
indicate proper operation of the front and rear signal
lamps. If the indicator light remains on and does not
flash, check for a burned-out signal lamp bulb. If the
indicator fails to light when the lever is moved, check
the fuse and indicator bulb.
