Handbrake

To release:
Pull lever 3 up slightly, press button 2
and then lower the lever to the floor.
To apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator

heating may occur.
Depending on the slope
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary to pull up
the handbrake at least two
extra notches and engage a gear
st
(1 or reverse gear) for vehicles with
a manual gearbox or position P for
vehicles with an automatic gearbox.
