tion lock, refer to page 59.

Handbrake

The handbrake is primarily intended to prevent

the vehicle from rolling while parked; it brakes

the rear wheels.

nal also sounds when starting off. The

handbrake is applied.

Indicator lamp for Canadian models.

Applying

The lever locks in position automatically.

Releasing

Pull slightly upwards, press the button and

lower the lever.

If exceptional circumstances should

make it necessary to apply the handbrake

while the vehicle is in motion, do not pull it too

firmly. In doing so, continuously press the but-

ton of the handbrake lever. Otherwise, too firm

an application of the handbrake can lock up the

rear wheels and cause the rear of the vehicle to

swerve.<

To prevent corrosion and one-sided brak-

ing action, occasionally engage the hand-

brake lightly when the vehicle is slowly coming

to a stop if the traffic conditions are suitable.

The brake lamps do not light up when the hand-

brake is applied.<

gearshift lever toward the right, otherwise

an inadvertent shift into 3rd or 4th gear could

lead to engine damage.<

Reverse gear

Select only when the vehicle is stationary.

Press the gearshift lever to the left, overcoming

a slight resistance.
