YOUR CAR'S FIRST

FEW HUNDRED MILES

DRIVING

You can operate your new car from

its very first mile without adhering

to a formal "break-in" schedule.

However, during the first

few

hun-

dred miles of driving you can, by

observing a

few

simple precautions,

add to the future performance and

economy of your car.

recommended that your

speed during the first 500 miles

be confined to a maximum of 60

M.P.H., but do not drive for ex-

tended periods at

anyone

constant

speed, either fast or slow. Dur-

ing this period, avoid full throttle

starts and, if possible, avoid hard

stops especially during the first 200

miles of operation since brake mis-

use during this period will destroy

much future brake efficiency.

Always drive at moderate speed

until the engine has completely

warmed up.

for trailer hauling see additional

Seat Belt Inspection

And Care (All)

Periodically

inspect

belts,

buckles, retractors,

and

anchors

for damage that could lessen the

effectiveness of the restraint

system.

• Keep sharp edges

and

damaging

objects away from belts.

• Replace belts

cut

, weakened,

frayed,

subjected to collision

loads.

• Check that anchor mounting

bolts are tight to the floor.

• Havequestionablepartsreplaced.

• Keep seat belts clean and dry.

• Clean only with mild soap solu-

tion and lukewarm water.

•

not bleach

dye belts since

this may severely weaken belts.

Child Restraint

Children in automobiles should

be restrained to lessen the risk of

injury in accidents, sudden stops

other hazardous situations. General

Motors dealers offer restraint sys-

tems designed specifically for use

with small children.

using any

child seating device, read and com-

ply with all installation and usage

instructions.

All unused seat belts near the

child should be stowed properly to

help prevent them from striking

him in the event of a sudden stop

collision.

Lap

belts and shoulder

belts without storage provisions

should have buckles latched and

belts adjusted to remove slack.

Cars Not Equipped With

Special Child Restraints

a child

traveling in a vehicle

not equipped with a General

Motors child restraint system

other safe child seating device, the

following precautions should be

taken:

1. Infants unable to sit up by them-

selves should be restrained by

placing them in a covered,

padded bassinet which

placed

crossways in the vehicle (width-

wise) on the rear seat.

The

bassi-

net should be securely restrained

with the regular vehicle seat

belts.

alternate method

position the bassinet so that it

rests against the backof the front

seat, again crossways in the

vehicle.

2. Children able to sit up by them-

selves should

placed on a seat

and lap belted, preferably in the

rear seat. Never allow a child to

stand

kneel on any seat.

the

child cannot see out the car win-

dows he should sit on a firm

cushion with the regular lap belt

restraining him

the hips. The

cushion should be

firm

practical and just high enough

to enable the child to look hori-

zontally out of the car windows.

The use of the cushion should be

discontinued as soon as the child

old enough to see out of the

car windows without it.

3. General Motors recommends

that children be restrained prop-

erly when riding. However, if

unusual conditions prohibit use

of restraints

and

require that a

child must stand, he should stand

on the floor directly behind the

front seat. This will minimize the

possibility of his being thrown

from the rear compartment dur-

ing a sudden stop.
