handle. Turning the key one-half turn clockwise unlocks the lock. To lock it turn
the key one-half turn in counter-clockwise rotation.
To open the rear compartment door grasp the handle and turn it to the right. To
prevent damaging the lock be sure the handle is held to the extreme right when closing
the door.
LOCKING THE BONNET
The bonnet on your car is designed to
prevent it from being blown open if the
locking handle is accidentally left un-
locked, and to prevent the engine parts and
accessories being tampered with when
locked.
To raise the bonnet first unlock it by
pushing forward on handle, Fig. 9. Then
grasp the bonnet upper moulding at the
rear end and raise the bonnet. Strong,
self-locking supports hold the bonnet it’s
raised position.
To lower the bonnet, pull it
downward and then draw the handle back and nap it into place.
TIRES
INFLATION PRESSURES
Maintaining proper tire pressures is important in obtaining maximum tire life,
proper car handling, and best riding qualities.
Because tires get hot due to frictional contact with the road surface and internal
friction within the tire, tire pressures will increase as much as three to four pounds.
As it is hard to check and maintain proper pressures when tires are hot, always make
it a point to check and inflate them when they are cold. Both cold and hot pressures are
given. Cold pressures should be used when the car has only been driven a few
blocks to the service station. Hot pressures should be used when the car has been
driven at high speed and if the tires are warm to the hand.
Ordinarily tire pressures should be checked at least once a week. However, when
touring, or if the car is driven extensively, they should be checked every morning
before starting out.
Tire valve caps should be finger tight to prevent loss of air which may be escaping
from a leaky valve and also preclude the possibility of dust and dirt getting into
the valve. Replace missing valve caps promptly.
Recommended tire pressures are as follows :
