release quickly by sliding the finger off sidewise to prevent the plunger sticking. Should the 
plunger stick so that the engine continues to turn, push it in again and release quickly.

    The carburetor choke control knob is located to the left of the light control knob. (See "Starting 
the Engine" for use of choke.)

    The oil pressure signal is the red jewel located to the left of the center of the instrument panel. 
When the ignition switch is turned "on" this signal will be lighted and should stop glowing when 
the engine is running. If it remains lighted or flashes while the engine is running above idling 
speed, the engine should be stopped and the oil level in the reservoir checked. If necessary, check 
the oil lines. Do not run the engine until the trouble is corrected.

    The generator signal is the red jewel located to the right of the center of the instrument panel. 
When the ignition switch is turned "on" this signal will be lighted and should stop glowing when 
the engine reaches a speed slightly above normal idling. If the signal flashes when the car is 
being driven above twenty miles per hour, it indicates that the battery is not being charged. Your 
electrical system should be checked by your Hudson dealer.

    The "gasoline or oil" gauge indicates the quantity of gasoline in the tank when the ignition 
switch is turned either to the right or left position. By pushing upward on the button located 
below the instrument panel and slightly to the left of the light control knob, the hand of this 
gauge indicates the quantity of oil in the reservoir of the engine.

    The engine temperature indicator should show a reading within the driving range at all times 
when the car is being driven.

    The ride control knob on the instrument panel to the right of the throttle knob gives maximum 
shock absorber control when pushed in and a "boulevard control" when pulled out. Any desired 
control can be obtained by moving the control knob.

Starting the Engine

   The proper procedure in starting the engine is as follows: See that the throttle control knob is 
in. Do not open throttle with the accelerator until the engine starts. Pull the choke knob out as far 
as possible. Insert the ignition key in the lock and turn clockwise. When the engine "fires" push 
the choke in until it runs evenly. If the engine is cold, the choke can only be pushed in about 
three-eighths of an inch. Never leave the choke out farther than necessary to keep the engine 
running smoothly. It should be pushed in to the limit of its travel as soon as possible after starting 
the engine.
