Handbrake
To release:
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 3
and then lower the lever to the floor.
To apply:
Pull the lever 2 upwards and make sure
the vehicle is immobilised.
Depending on the gradient
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary when station-
ary to apply the brake by
at least a further two notches and
engage a gear (1
st
or reverse gear).
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating may occur.
An impact to the underside
of the vehicle when revers-
ing (e.g. striking a raised
kerb) may result in damage
to the vehicle (eg. deformation of
the rear axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
