WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE When the ignition switch is sot to “ON’, the water temperature gauge operates and the pointer indicates coolant temperature in the range from 120 to 250° F. During ordinary driving, the pointer will indicate 170 to 220°F. If the pointer indicates alt the way over 240°, and remains there for more than a minute or two. Stop the car, have the engine cooled down, keeping the engine speed at 1,000 to 1,500 rpm, and then check coolant level OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ‘The oil pressure gauge operates and the poinier indicates oil pressure of the lubricant in the engine. During ordinary driving, the pointer will indicate $5 to 70 Ib/sa in at 2,000 pm. IF the pointer moves below 40 Dottun Parts & Service Ib/sq in at 2,000 rpm, stop the engine immediately and check the fubrication system.

For your own safety and that of anyone else in the car, do not start or run your car's engine in a closed or poorly ventilated building. Cases ex- hausted from the engine contain poisonous carbon monoxide which can endanger your heaith if breathed steadi- ly for even a few minutes, First, before you tum on the ignition switch, put the transmission gears in neutral and pull the parking brake lever to prevent the car from accidentally moving when the engine starts. It is a ood practice to depress the clutch pedal to eliminate the drag of the transmission gears while you start up, ‘specially in cold weather. = Engine Warm — If the engine is relatively warm, the choke may not be used. Just depress the accelerator pedal down about one-quarter of its full stroke, and tum the ignition key to ‘START’. When the engine starts running under its own power, release the key. It will spring back to the “ON” position automatically. = Engine Cold (Cold Weather) ~ With 2 cold engine. pull out the choke contro} lever all the way, depress the acceierator pedal slightly, and start the engine. As soon as the engine starts, return tae choke control lever in far enough to keep the en smoothly. Then push it in all the way when the temperature gauge pointer begins to move toward its normal operating range, Do not drive steadily with the choke control lever pulled out This may result in excessive fuel consumption Dotzun Ports 8 Service. — Avoid — Pumping the accelerator pedal before you start up does not do any good You will only flood the engine with gasoline and it will not start, In this case. push the choke control in all the and then depress and hold the accelerator pedal to the floor while you operate the starter Coortto-Coott, Borderto-BorderORIVING WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION APPROPRIATE SPEED RANGE IN EACH GEAR (MPH) is | 0 10 38 (Etna 15 to 60 [ara 22 to 95 [ae 30 10 Your car has 2 ‘forward and reverse speed transmission controlled by 2 gear shift lever located on the Alor.

Under severe or unusoal operating conditions ate: stop and start city driving, driving in extreme cold or hot temperatures, driving in very dusty areas or in rough roads, driving in rainy day, constant high speed-driving, etc, The recommended viscosity grade of lubricants of the engine, transmission and rear axle varies as the temperature changes. The lubricants fled at the factory are for the condition of 32 to 90°F. In cold season, a low viscosity oil ives better lubrication because it flows more easily.
