The red warning light on the instrument
panel will light up if you are driving with
an incorrectly released handbrake.
To apply:
Pull the lever upwards and make sure

Make sure that the handbrake is properly released when driving (red in-
dicator light off), otherwise overheating may occur.

pending on the slope and/or

ing (e.g. striking a raised
kerb) may result in damage
to the vehicle (eg. deformation of
the rear axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
