HANDBRAKE POWER STEERING
To release
Pull the lever up slightly, press
button 2, then lower the lever to the
floor.
The red warning light on the
instrument panel will light up if
you are driving with an incorrectly
released handbrake.
To apply
Pull the lever up.
The lever should travel about
10 notches to hold the vehicle. Your
vehicle is fitted with self-adjusting
rear brake shoes and the handbrake
should only be adjusted during a
brake overhaul.
Make sure that the
handbrake is applied
properly when the
vehicle is stationary to
ensure that the vehicle does not
move unintentionally.
Make sure the handbrake is
properly released when driving,
otherwise overheating may
occur.
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the car is parked if
you have power-assisted steering
fitted, as this may damage the
pump.
Variable power assisted steering
The variable power-assisted
steering system is equipped with an
electronic control system which
alters the level of assistance to suit
the vehicle speed.
Steering is easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort)
whilst the effort required rises
progressively as speed increases (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Never switch off the
ignition when travelling
downhill, and avoid
doing so when driving in
general (power steering and
brake servo will not function).
