DOOR LATCHES AND HINGES
The Corvair door lock design contributes to passen-
ger safety and to the security of your car and its contents.
For example: Strong door latches and sturdy hinges
reduce the possibility of the doors being forced open as
23
a result of certain accident situations, thus reducing the
probability of a person being thrown from the vehicle.
Doors can be locked from the inside by depressing
the small button located on the upper door panel. Doors
can be locked from the outside by simply depressing the
interior button, holding the outside door handle plunger
and closing the door. Once closed, release the plunger
and the door is locked.
The doors can also be locked, in the usual manner,
by using the octagonal shaped key.
All models have as a standard safety feature free
wheeling door locks. When the lock buttons are de-
pressed, the door handles become inoperative, prevent-
ing inadvertent opening of the doors.
CAUTION: Do not close the vehicle door by applying
pressure on the glass. Always lock the doors when driving
as well as when leaving the car unattended.

driver's end of the seat forward. Then by exerting

rearward. When the lever is released, the seat is auto-
matically locked in position.
