8 STEERING AND BRAKES

Your vehicle is equipped with manual steering. You may observe a

substantial increase in steering effort, especially at very low vehicle

speeds and during parking maneuvers.

When driving in rough/off roads, hold the steering wheel firmly.

A sudden bump can jerk/ turn the wheel and injure your hand.

This may also lead to loss of vehicle control.

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:

• Under inflated tire(s) on any wheel(s)

• Uneven vehicle loading

• High crown (mound) in the centre of the road

• High crosswinds

• Wheels out of alignment

• Wheels out of balance

• Loose or worn suspension components

To apply the parking brake, pull the park brake lever up as firmly as

possible. When the parking brake is applied with the ignition ON, the

brake warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates. To

release the parking brake, pull the parking brake lever up slightly,

press the release button on the lever tip and lower the parking

brake lever completely.

The brake warning lamp indicates only the parking brake status.

It does not indicate the degree of brake application. Be sure the

parking brake is firmly set when parked and the gear shift lever

is in gear. When parking on a hill you should apply the parking

brake before placing the shift lever gear, since the load on the

transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move

the shift lever out of gear.
