PARKING BRAKE
3
The warning light on the instru-
ment panel will come on.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly re-
leased when driving (red
indicator light off), other-
wise overheating, or even dam-
age, may occur.
When stationary and de-
pending on the slope
and/or vehicle load, it
may be necessary to pull
up the handbrake at least two ex-
tra notches and engage a gear
(1
st
or reverse gear) for vehicles
with a manual gearbox or position
P for vehicles with an automatic
gearbox.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g. strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g. de-
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
approved Dealer.
