Control of the Variable
Pitch Dynaflow Drive is obtained by positioning the control lever mounted
directly below the steering wheel. Variable Pitch Dynaflow-equipped cars
do not have a clutch pedal and lever may be placed in any position when
engine is idling by merely moving the lever. Stops have been placed at
certain points in the lever travel so that it is necessary to raise the
lever to place it in certain positions. After a little experience driving
the car, you will find that it is possible to select a range merely by
"feel" and visual reference to the dial will not be necessary.
However, the dial is illuminated for night driving and is controlled by
the instrument panel lighting circuit.
When required, additional engine "braking"
can be obtained by placing lever in "L."
NOTE: The starting motor circuit on cars equipped
with the Dynaflow Drive is so wired that the engine will not start unless
the control lever is in either "P" or "N" positions.

There are five positions
indicated:
"P"
This is a Parking Lock and is to be used in conjunction with the
foot operated "Step-on" parking brake. THIS PARKING LOCK
MUST NEVER BE APPLIED WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. Control lever must be
raised to be placed in or out of this position. Parking the car with
the control lever in "D," "L," or "R"
positions will not partially brake the car as it does when you leave
a conventional transmission "in gear." |
|
"N"
This is neutral and is to be used when towing the car and may be
used instead of "P" when car is standing still and engine
is running. Control lever must be raised when moving it from
"D" to "N" position. |
