Parking brake lever (arrow)
Parking brake force is mechanically trans-
ferred to the rear wheels by means of cables.
Use the parking brake only after the vehic-
le has come to a full stop.
To set the parking brake
Press in the release button (arrow) at the end
of the lever as you pull the lever up. The park-
ing brake engages as soon as you release the
button in the raised lever.
To release the parking brake
Pull the lever slightly up as you depress the
release button. Keep the button depressed
as you lower the lever.
WARNING
Release the parking brake fully. A partially
engaged brake will overheat the rear brakes,
reduce their effectiveness and cause ex-
cessive wear.
Always set the parking brake when park-
ing your car. Move the selector lever to "P"
(Automatic transmission) or move the gear-
shift lever to reverse or first gear (Manual
transmission). On hills also turn the wheels
toward the curb.
The central warning light and the parking brake
light will go out after the engine is started and
the parking brake is fully released (see "Cen-
tral warning light system").
Loudspeaker balance control
The volume of the loudspeakers in the door
and in the rear of the vehicle can be balanced
by turning the loudspeaker balance control
knob (A), located next to the parking brake
lever.
Hatchback release
With one or both doors open, you can release
the hatchback by pulling either button " B " on
the left of the driver's seat or the respective
button on the right of the passenger's seat.
The hatchback will open automatically.
