Parking brake (02_19, 02_20, 02_21)

With the vehicle at a standstill and the suspension locking system engaged, it is pos-
sible to get off the vehicle without using the stand. For safety reasons, it is com-
pulsory to press the hand brake lever shown in the figure, moving it form position
«A » to position «B».
When the hand brake «B» is engaged, warning light «D» on the instrument panel turns
on.
When the hand brake is set to «B» and the ignition switch is turned to position
«LOCK», the safety system that prevents the hand brake from getting released is
02_19
activated. To release the hand brake, turn the ignition switch to «OFF» or «ON». If the
switch is set to position «LOCK» , the hand brake can also be engaged.
WARNING
IT IS PREFERABLE TO USE THE STAND IF THE VEHICLE STOPS ON A STEEP
SLOPE.
BUT IF THE STEEP SLOPE IS LATERAL, THE STAND CAN NOT BE USED AND
THE SUSPENSION LOCK SOLVES THE PROBLEM.
