reverse, wait at least 2 seconds with

damage and grating of the gears.
HANDBRAKE fig. 1

tween the two front seats.
Pull the handbrake lever upwards un-
til the car cannot be moved.
Four or five clicks are generally
enough when the car is on level
ground while nine or ten may be re-
quired if the car is on a steep slope or
laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case,
contact Lancia Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled
up and the ignition key is at MAR the
instrument panel warning light x
will come on with fixed light.
