OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
14 Handbrake
the handbrake lever is on the outside of
the driving seat and operates on the rear
wheels only. When the handbrake is
applied and the ignition is on, a red
warning light (4, H) shows on the instru-
ment panel.
Remember that the footbrake warning
system is also connected to this light.
Should the light show when the hand-
brake is not on, this may be due to a
failure in one of the brake circuits. If this
i s the case, drive immediately (but with
due care) to a workshop for a check.
15, 24 Fresh-air controls
Sliding the control forwards opens a
fresh-air intake on the driver's or pas-
senger's side. Note that the fan should not
be operating if cool air is desired through
these intakes.

16 Bonnet release handle
The bonnet lock is released by pulling
out the handle situated to the left of the
steering column lower down on the dash-
board.
This releases the bonnet which is still
retained by the safety catch.
The bonnet is opened by inserting the
fingers under its front edge and pressing
i n the catch as shown in the picture
above. Raising the bonnet causes a light
i n the engine compartment to go on
automatically. Make sure that the bonnet
i s locked properly when closed.
The level of the bonnet can be adjusted
i f necessary by screwing out or in the
rubber plugs under the bonnet at the
front and on the mudguards.
