DRIVING CONTROLS -
HAND OPERATED CONTROLS
Handbrake
The handbrake on the Morgan Plus Four only operates the rear wheel brakes. The
handbrake lever is a conventional type handbrake. Pull the lever upwards until the
brake begins to operate and holds the vehicle in a stationary position securely.
To release the handbrake push the button on the end of the lever and slowly
release the lever ensuring that the vehicle will not move or roll unless required.
Ensure the handbrake is fully released before driving the vehicle. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the brake system and drive-train components.
Location of the Steering Column Adjustment Locking Lever.
NOTICE When the vehicle is stationary the handbrake should be fully engaged
and the automatic gearbox selector set to Park.
Steering Column Adjustment
It is important to have the steering controls in the correct position for the driver.
The steering column in the Morgan Plus Four can be adjusted up or down and
forwards or backwards. To move the steering wheel into the desired position
push the lever at the left side of the steering column downward. The steering
column is now free to be moved into the desired position. Once set in the
desired position pull the lever firmly back up into the locking position to ensure
the steering column is firmly secured.
WARNING Only adjust the steering column position when the vehicle is
in Park and the hand brake is applied. Failure to do this may result in an
accident causing possible damage or injury to the driver or others.
WARNING
The brake system on your Morgan Plus Four is a servo-assisted
system. Braking assistance is only supplied whilst the engine is running. Do
not coast with the engine off. This may result in a loss of brake performance
resulting in an accident causing serious injury or even death.
Accelerator
The accelerator on your Morgan Plus Four is an electronically operated
accelerator system.
NOTICE
Do not push the accelerator pedal when starting the vehicle.
Clutch Pedal
(Manual Only)
NOTICE
Do not slip or hold the car on the clutch for more than a few moments.
Excessive slipping or holding the car on the clutch when on a slope will cause
wear and damage to the clutch system.
NOTICE
Ensure the clutch is fully depressed when changing gear. Failure to do
so may result in damage to the transmission system.
NOTICE
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal whilst driving.
