BREAHlnG-ln PERIOD
Your Chevrolet car has been designed to furnish you many
thousands of miles of motoring pleasure.
In order to maintain its high standard of performance and
efficiency, special care should be given for the first two thousand
miles as to the speed at which the car is driven and also to lubri-
action.
To properly break in the moving parts of the car, do not
drive faster than:
40 Miles per hour for the first 100 Miles
50 Miles per hour for the next 200 Miles
60 Miles per hour for the next 200 Miles
Continuous high speed driving should not be attempted
until the car has been driven 2000 miles.
See that your car is lubricated at regular intervals in accord-
ance with the recommendations under "General Lubrication."
WAY S T oJ'av E GA SAn 0 0IL
How many miles do you get to the gallon? Unless you are the
exception, you can get still greater mileage. And without cost!
Just eliminate a few of the faults which most of us have and which
tend to waste gasoline and oil. Some of the most coinmon ones
are listed here. Study them~ Correct them and you'll save on
fuel bills.
Quick Get-Aways are thrills that cost money. Tramping
suddenly on the accelerator, or pumping it,
feeds
your motOr more gasoline that it can use. Quick get-aways,
too, waste gasoline by carrying you too far in second gear. Get
away easily and smoothly to save gasoline. Slip into high gear at
20 to 25 miles per hour.
Sudden Stops are sometimes necessary, but always use extra
gasoline. Stopping gradually, with the engine
braking, saves gas money-and brake lining, too.

: S~ftTites are hlj.rd on you t g~soline bill. They mean more road '
friction. This gives your motor unnecessary work to
go and mal<es it use extra gas. Keep the extra money in your pocket
by keeping your tires inflated to the recommended pressures.
Parking in the ' Sun wastes gasoline. Park your car in the shade,
if you can, so that the hot sun will not
evaporate gas from your tank.
An . Idling Motor is a useless expense. Turn it off while
you ~re waiting at the ' curb for a friend,
or at a train crossing.
, An I"efficient Carburetor is an efficient gasoline waster. Have
, , yours ch~cked at least twice a year
(for summer and ~ winterdriving) to be sure it is properly adjusted,
that the octane selector is properly set, and that the sediment
bulb 'is dean.
Cheap lubrication is a waste ofm'oiiey. Use oil of good quality
, and of the g rade specified by the manufac-
turer. Have your car well gr~ased every thousand miles.
One Faulty or Dirty Spqrk Plug may waste much of your

SAFETY BUILT In YOUR CAR
Your Chevrolet has be en designed and built to give you
many thousands of miles of driv ing pleasure and comfort.
The body is of all-steel construction, well , insulated against
heat and sound. The interior appointments have been made to '
assure comfort and saf ety. The adjustable front seat, safety
glass, controlled ventilation, and recessed control knobs on the
instrument panel are examples of this safety in design.
The headlights are controlled by the left foot when changing
from the upper to the lower beam, which leaves the right foot
, and both hands free to control the car. Always use the low beam
when approaching and passing another car .
,
The hydraulic brakes are the safest and most dependable sys-
tem of brakes ev er used, exerting equal brake pressure on all
four wheels.
The hand brake lever, under the instrument panel to the left
of the steering wheel, is easily reached.
HIGHWAY SAFETY
One of the most important aspects of motoring these days
is
motoring safety. Safety campaigns are constantly being held
in the major cities. Many states now have compulsory inspec-
tion laws. Various commissions have been appointed to study
, the problem and make further recommendations to legislative _
bodies. .'
The primary responsibility for traffic safety lies with the motor
car driver.
The most competent driver always keeps in mind the other
fellow. Always signal the ot , her driver to let him.know when you
are goin~ to stop, make a turn, or pull away from the curb. Proper
signaling will do away with one of the most dangerous traffic
h~zards-the sudden, unexpected move.
" _, The State Highway Departments, Automobile Clubs, and .
car ~anufacturers work together in designating highways through
' '';''' ' ' y~",ious types, of road , markers to make driv ,ing safer.
' :- ~;~
8 • ;' "
www.PlandeGraissage.org

You, th~ driver, should always obey these markers. Extra
care should be used at night-particularly when driving over
strange roads. Be constantly alert and drive courteously.
Downhill When driving down a steep grade, it is advisable
to shift into second gear and sometimes into first
gear. This will allow the motor to act as a brake on the car and
will not only assist materially in keeping the car under control,
but also reduce tht;. wear on brake shoe facings and brake drums.
Uphln When driving up a steep grade, it is advisable to shift
into second gear. This will avoid placing, undue strain
on the motor and clutch and is also more economkal on the
gasoline.
Overtaking and passing a car on a hill or curve is dangerous
as you cannot ,see another car approaching.
Starting on a Hill When it is necessary to start your car on a
hill,
you will find it much easier if, before
starting, you set the hand brake lever to keep the car from rolling
backward. Put the shifting lever in first speed, gradually release
the clutch, press down th~~J;elerator, and when the car starts
to move forward, or the engine starts to labor, slowly release the
hand brake lever.
Curves When approaching a curve, do not cross over the
center of the road to pass a car ahead of you. Before
entering a curve,"slow
down to a safe speed and make the turn
into the curve at the extreme right side.
Slippery Roads When starting on ice or slippery pavement,
it is safer to have the shifting lever in either
second or high gear to reduce the . tendency of the rear wheels to
spin. In starting in deep snow, always use first speed and accelerate
the engine slowly.
Tire Blow-Out
Do not jam on the brakes. Hold the car as
steady as possible until it slows down to a
moderate speed, and then gradually apply the brakes.
.,,---- ,'-- ·9
-~/ ~ '
www.PlandeGraissage.org

Skidding If your car .starts to skid, do not jam on the ' brakes.
Turn the front wheels iri the direction of the skid
f and at the same timt; take your foot off the accelerator gradually.
Sand and Gravel When approaching a sandy or gravel road,
always use extra caution until you know the .
condition of the road. Driving .into loose sand or gravel. at 'a fast
speed is dangerous, as a
sudden shifting of the gravel may cause
you to lose control of the steering.
We suggest that whenever and wherever you drive, you do
so with the car completely under co~~rol , at all times, and practice
the three "C's" of safety-

The driver of a car should familiarize himself with the various
controls provided for its proper handling. This does not apply to
thebeginner alone, as although there are many points of similarity
among all cars, there are also important differences. It is not wise,
regardless of pre",ious experience, to drive a new or different make
of car before fully understanding what each control is for and
how to use it.
Fig.2-Keys
KEYS AN D . LOCKS
The locks for both right and left-
hand front doors and the ignition lock
have the same keys. The rear compart- .
ment and glove compartment . locks:
have the same keys.
The lock number is stamped on
the knock-out plug in the center of the
key. To protect you in case your keys

are lost, you should record the lock number and then push out
the plug and destroy it. '
If a new key is needed, and you do not know the lock number
-you may obtain it by ordering through the Theft Bureau of the
, Chevrolet Motor Division, General Motors Corporation, Detroit
2, Michigan, advising them of the car serial and engine numbers.
To lock· the doors from the inside, push down the locking
knob located on the bottom of the window opening of each door.
To lock the car from the outside,
either
of two ways glay be used:
1. With the door open, push down
the inside locking knob and hold the
outside handle down (vertical) while
closing
the door.
2. With the door closed, insert key
in the lock of the front door and give
the key a quarter turn.
To unlock the car, insert door key

THROTTLE CONTROL
The opening . and closing of the
throttle valve in the carburetor is
controlled from the driving compart-
ment by the accelerator pedal, but it
is sometimes advis'able to use the
throttle knob on ' th~ instrument
panel. Pulling out the throttle knob
will open the throttle.
CHOKE CONTROL
When starting a cold engine, it is necessary to provide 'a fuel
mixture richer in gasoline than is ordinarily required.
The correct use of the choke is
extremely important; if improperly
handled it may seriously affect the life
, of the engine by the thinning effect on
the lubricating oil of unburned gas-
oline leaking by the pistons.
The choke should not be used if
the engine retains any heat from ,pre-
vious running, without first attempt-
ing to start the engine wit1i:& normal
fuel mixture. .,
If the choke has been used exces-

sively, causing failure to start, open the throttle to admit sufficient
air to overcome the overloaded condition of the engine.
SPARK CONTROL
The spark timing of the Chevrolet engine is controlled by two
engIneering features:
Fig. 8-0ctane Selector
1-,-Manually The Octane Selector
-For maximum
economy and performance the octane
selector must be advanced as far as
possible
without causin g the en g ine to
knock at wide open throttle. When the
lower octane (lower grade) fuels are
used, the selector should be retarded.
Higher octane fuels permit more ad-
vance, resulting in a still greater
economy and better performance.

system. _ . ~ ..
When the clutch pedal is in its normal position, the clutch is
engaged
and the engine is directly connected to the transmission.
By depressing· the pedal, the clutch is released and the engine dis-
connected from the transmission, permitting the shifting of the
transmission gears.
To assure maximum clutch efficiency and long life of the clutch
. parts, there should be % to 1
inch of free pedal travel be-
fore the clutch starts to dis-
engage.
BRAKE PEDAL
Depressing this pedal applies
Fig. IO-Clutch and Brake Pedals the four-wheel service brakes.
VACUUM POWER SHIFT
vacuum power shift utilizes both manual control and
vacuurn-po~er · to accomplish the change in gears.
www.PlandeGraissage.org

Movement of the .gear shift lever, mounted on the steering
column below the st~ering _ wheel, requires only a very small per-
centage of the force necessary to shift gears with the conventional
gear shift lever. This makes it possible for the driver to shift the
transmission gears safely and conveniently without removing the
Fig. l1-Gear Shifting
hand from the steering wheel.
The gear shift lever may be placed
in anyone of five positions-neutral,
reverse, first, second and third. The
travel of the lever is the same as that
of the conventional floorboard lever,
except that it moves in a vertical
plane jnstead of a horizontal plane.
The operation of the lever in engaging
the gears consecutively is as follows:
1. See that gear shift lever is in neutral or horizonta:l position
(lever may be moved up and down).
2. First speed-with clutch pedal depressed, raise le~er toward
steering wheel and pus~ toward the rear of the car until it is fully
engaged
in first speed location; then gradually release clutch pedal.
-.
3. Second speed- W~"clutch pedal depressed, push lever
. toward the front of car. Lever will cross through neutral position
moving away from steering wheel and engage second speed posi- .
tion. Release clutch pedal.
4. Third speed- With clutch pedal depressed, pull lever toward
the rear of the car until lever has reached the end of its travel into
third speed position.
5. Reverse~ With car at a stand-
still, depress clutch pedal, raise lever,
and push forward.
HAND BRAKE leVER
The hand brake lever is intercon-
nected with the rear service brakes and
is used for holding the car when
parked or when about to get under
way up a steep grade. Fig.

HOOD CONTROL
The hood is of the alligator jaw type, opening at the front,
and has a concealed lock under the forepart of the hood for pro-
tection of the engine compartment "
contents.
The hood lock is operll;ted by a
control located under the left side of
the instrument paneL The hood lock
is released by Plllling out the control
knob. This raises the hood one inch,
sufficient opening to enable you to
release the safety" catch located under
the forepart of the hood by pulling
catch forward.
Fig. 13-Hood Lock Knob
LIGHTING CONTROL
The. headlamps, parking lamps, and tail lamps are controlled
bya single switch operated by a knob on the left side of the in-
strument panel, below the water temperature indicator. When it
is pulled out half way, the parking lights, tail lamps, dash lamps,
ignition switch lamp, and license lamp are lighted. When pulled
out all the way, " the headlamps, ta~mps, dash lamps, license
lamp, and ignition fr witch lamp are lighted.
By turning the l!ght control knob, any degree of instrument
cluster and ignition lock lighting may be obtained, or the lights
may even be turned off.
The direction of the headlamp
. beam may be changed by pressure on
the foot switch located at the left side
of the toe board. For city driving the
hand switch knob should be all the
way out and the foot switch should be
in " that position which throws the
light nearest the car. To throw the
light farther ahead for driving on the
open road, depress the foot switch

The fuse is of 30 ampere capacity '. It is located on the back of
the lightin g switch, easily reached in case it requires rep lacement.
The dome light switch is on the right-hand door lock pillar of
all models and is the sliding button type and indicates the on and
off position. All Fleetmaster and Fleetline Models have an auto-
matic dome light switch on the left-hand front body hinge pillar.
On Fleetmaster and Fleetline Models a light in the glove
compartment provides illumination when the door is open .
GASOLINE GAUGE
An electrically operated gasoline gauge indicates the fuel
supply when the ignition switch is turned on.
Fig. IS-Instrument Group
WATER TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
The water temperature indicator functions as a thermometer,
indicating the temperature of the water in the cylinder head.
AMMETER
This instrument registers the flow of current to and from the
battery, except that taken by the starting motor. The ammeter
reading is an indication of whether the battery is being charged
or discharged, but does not indicate the condition of the battery.
The output of the generator is controlled by the voltage and
current regulator. The voltage regulator protects the battery
from overcharging while the current regulator limits the output
• 17

of the generator. The functioning of these units often causes
slight
fluctuatio , ~s in :. the a~meter hand. This fluctuation is one
of the indications that the voltage)ind currentregulatot are operat-
ing satisfactorily and should cause no concern on the part 0
the CaT . owner . .
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
This gauge on the instrument panel is an indicator only, and
merely' shows wheth~r the pump is working. The pressure shown
on the gauge does not necessarily indicate the condition or quan-
tity of oil in the crankcase.
If the gauge does not. register pressure when the engine is
running, stop the engine immediately
and determine - the cause.'
SPEEDOMI;TER
The speedometer is of the circular·
type and is located to the right of the
instrument cluster;
In a small opening at the
mark, a red light shows whenever the
headlamps are lig hted on the upper beam
outside of cities and towns.
