Teleflash Oil Pressure Indicator
The teleflash oil pressure indicator is located to the left of the teleflash generator
charging indicator, and indicates at a glance the condition of the lubrication system.
A small lens with the word "No" is located in center of the indicator with a small
light bulb placed behind it. As the ignition key is turned on, the word "No" is
illuminated, indicating that the oiling system is not functioning. Immediately after the
engine is started the small light should turn out, indicating that the oil pump is
operating satisfactorily. A slight flickering of the light at idle speed should cause no
concern; however, should the light flicker or turn on while the engine is running above
idle speed, the engine should be turned off and the source of the difficulty ascertained.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge is located at the extreme left of the instrument cluster and indi-
cates the fuel level in the gasoline tank.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is located in the center of the group just above the lower flange
of the instrument panel, Figure 32. Turning the key to the right or clockwise direction
turns on the ignition.
Starter Button
The starter button is placed to the left of the ignition lock, Figure 32, within easy
reach of the driver. The engine can be cranked only by pressing the button after the
ignition key has been turned on.
(Note: The engine may be cranked with the starter from the engine compartment
by removing the small cap at the back of the solenoid switch located on top of the
starter and depressing the plunger.)
Light Switches
The main light switch, which controls the head, tail, instrument lamps and side
lamps when car is so equipped, is located to the right of the ignition switch, Figure 32.
The switch has three positions: The "off" position is to the extreme left. Clockwise
rotation to the next position turns on parking, instrument and tail lamps, and extreme
right position turns on bright, instrument and tail lamps.
When the headlamps are in bright position, the beam is controlled by the foot
switch located on the toe board left of the clutch pedal. By depressing the switch with
the left foot and releasing it, the headlight beam may be deflected down and to the
right curb line for safe passing, giving the oncoming driver maximum relief from
glare, or to the country driving position which projects the light beam a sufficient
distance in front of the car to provide maximum illumination.
The front compartment light switch on Super models is of the sliding type and is
located on the right side of the lower flange of the instrument panel.
The dome lamp switch on Sedans, Broughams and Coupes is located on the right-
hand door lock pillar and is of the sliding type.
