Hand brak e
Always apply hand brake firm ly. On slopes
apply the hand brake as firmly as possible.

automatically when applied.
During normal braking processes the hand
brake, which is separated from the foot
brake system , is not actuated . There is thus
no self-cleaning. From time to time,
therefore, drive slow ly for approx.
300 metres with the hand brake slightly
applied.
To relea se the ha nd b ra ke pull the lev er up
slig htly , press the ratchet knob, a nd fully
lower the lev er.

If it lights up when the hand brake is not
applied: stop the vehicle; interrupt your
journey im mediately. Consult a
workshop . We recommend your
Vauxhall Authorised R epairer.
