The main lighting switch has three positions. The central position is "off."
Turning the knob clockwise gives the driving lights, while anti-clockwise rotation
gives parking lights.
When the main lighting switch is in the driving position the driving light control
(foot) switch becomes effective. By pressing this control button and releasing it,
the headlamp beams may be deflected to the city driving position, immediately in
front of the car, Or to the country driving position, in which the light will be
projected a considerable distance ahead of the car. When the lights are in the
country driving position the small light at the bottom of the speedometer dial is
lighted. (See page 38 for Adjustment of Headlamps.)
The instrument light switch is a gradual control giving any intensity of
illumination desired from off to full on by simply turning the knob.
The front compartment and dome lamp switches are of the conventional toggle
type.
The stop lamp switch is located on the chassis frame and is connected to the
brake system so that the stop light is illuminated when the brakes are applied.
The starter is controlled by the push button to the left of the center of the
instrument panel. The ignition switch must he turned on, and on Electric Hand
equipped cars the clutch pedal must also be depressed when the starter button is
depressed.
The carburetor is equipped with Climatic Control (self-controlled choke), which
gives correct fuel mixture for all starting and running conditions without any
manual control on the part of the operator.
The oil pressure signal is the red jewel located to the right of the center of the
instrument group. When the ignition switch is turned "on" this signal will be
lighted. 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 left of the center of the
instrument group. 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 gauge, located at the left of the instrument group, indicates the
quantity of gasoline in the tank.
The water temperature indicator is located at the right side of the instrument group
and, like the gasoline gauge, is operative only when the ignition is turned on.
Starting the Engine
Before attempting to start a cold engine, depress the accelerator pedal slowly
approximately 1/4 to half way and then release. This will allow the high idle speed
stop to come into position to prevent stalling during the warming-up period. Insert
the key in the ignition lock and turn to the right. Press the starter control button to
bring the starter into action and start the engine.
