When stationary and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage a gear (1
st
or reverse gear)
on vehicles with a manual gearbox
or position P on vehicles with an au-
tomatic transmission.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is fully released when
driving (red indicator light
off), otherwise overheating,
or even damage, may occur.
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.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
