GEAR LEVER
HANDBRAKE
POWER STEERING
To select reverse gear
(vehicle
stationary)
Move the lever to neutral, then lift
up ring 1 against the gear lever knob
to enable selection of reverse gear.
The reversing lights will light up as
soon as reverse gear is selected (with
the ignition on).
If you have power assisted steering
fitted, do not leave the steering
wheel at full lock when the vehicle
is parked as this may damage the
pump.
To release:
Pull up the lever slightly, press
button 2 and then lower the lever to
the floor.
The red warning light on the
instrument panel will light up if you
are driving with an incorrectly
released handbrake.
To apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle
is properly immobilised.
When driving, check that
the handbrake is
completely released, as
this risks overheating.
Depending on the slope
and/or vehicle load, it
may be necessary to apply
the brake by two
additional notches and select a
gear (1
st
or reverse) for vehicles
with a manual gearbox or
position
P
for vehicles with an
automatic gearbox.
Never switch off the
ignition when travelling
downhill, and avoid
doing so in normal
driving (power steering and brake
servo will not function).
