Automatic Brake Adjusters
A11 cars are equipped with self-
adjusting brakes designed to eliminate
periodic brake adjustments. The self-
adjusting mechanism is actuated, as
9 needed, whenever the car is moved
in reverse and the brakes are ap-
plied. It is possible, however, for
excessive brake pedal travel to de-
velop if the required reverse move-
ment with a brake application does
not take place during a prolonged
period of stop and go forward driving.
Should this occur, the car should be
driven backward and forward with
the brakes applied at the end of each
directional movement, until the brake
pedal travel is back to normal. If this
procedure fails to restore normal
pedal travel, or if any abnormally
rapid increase in pedal travel is
experienced, immediate inspection
should be made by your Authorized
Chevrolet Dealer.
CAUTION: be exercised to

Clutch Adjustment
Clutch adjustment should be
checked and adjusted periodically as
necessary to compensate for clutch
facing wear. To check, depress pedal
by hand until resistance is felt. Free
travel of pedal should be approxi-
mately one inch; if very little or no
free travel is evident, clutch adjust-
ment is required.
Windshield Wiper
and Washer
The windshield wiping system op-
erates at two speeds and is designed
to wipe clear designated areas of
the windshield under most inclement
weather conditions. The windshield
wipers work electrically and are not
effected by engine operation.
Push the control lever to the right
to start the electric windshield Wiper.
The two-speed electric wiper has both
a "low" and a "high" speed position.

Pressing the control will send a
measured amount of water or other
cleaning agent onto the windshield
and will also cause the wiper lever
to move, thus starting the Wiper motor.
The wiper will then continue to oper-
ate until manually turned off at the
wiper lever.
Fill the washer jar only % full
during the winter to allow for expan-
sion if the temperature should fall
low enough to freeze the solution.
