Locking Steering Column ignition and warning buzzer
The ignition switch is located on the steering column. In automatic transmissions, when the mechanism is in the lock or "Park" position, the steering wheel can-not be moved. This feature is designed to discourage car theft. A warning buzzer reminds the driver to remove the key if it is still in place when he open the door. This is particulary important now that there is keyless door locking. In manual column-mounted transmissions, the steering wheel is locked with the transmission in reverse. In floor - or console - mounted transmissions, a new lock inhibitor ring around the column must be rotated clock-wise and held in this postion while the ignition switch is placed in the locked postion.

Concealed
windshield wipers

When not in use, the wipers park inside a narrow opening off the windshield and below the level of the hood. The left wiper arm is articulated to angle the wiper blade as it approaches the A-pillar to clean a larger area for increased visibility.

Keyless door locking. To lock the doors, simply push the inside door lock button down and shut the door. It is not necessary to hold on to the handle while closing the door.

Lane-change feature. By applying light pressure to the turn-signal lever, the signals will flash to indicate a change of lane, and will stop flashing when the lever is released. This is particulary useful when driving on expressways. Actual turns are signalled as before by moving the lever to the stop position where it will continue to flash until the steering wheel is returned.

Side marker lights-reflectors. For 1971 a light and reflector are used in both front and rear. An amber reflector and bulb are used in front, and a red reflector backed by a bulb are used in the rear.

Lap and shoulder belts. Three lap belts in the front, three lap belts in the rear, and shoulder belts for the driver and outboard front-seat passenger are standard. Shoulder belts for the outboard rear-seat passengers are optional.

Front seat-back latch. The easily operated seat-back latch must be released before the seat-back will fold forward, thus providing an additional margin of safty for both the front and rear-seat passengers in case of a sudden stop or collision.

Head restraints. Head restraints for the driver and outboard front-seat passenger are standard. They are integrated into the tall seat-back in bucket seats. On bench seat models, they are mounted on top of the seat-back. They help to prevent whiplash injury in case of a collision or an extremely sudden stop.

Grill encircling bumper. The massive dual loop bumper completely surronds the grill, providing not only appealing appearance, but added protection for the leading edges of the fenders and hood, particulary in parking-lot situations. In models with concealed headlights, when the headlights are turned on, the electric motor open the doors in the grill. When the headlights are turned off, the doors are closed automaticlly.
