GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
109
To release the hand brake:
– slightly lift the lever (
A
) and press the
release button (
B
);
– keeping the button pressed lower the
lever, the warning light
x
on the instru-
ment cluster will go out.
To prevent the car from moving acciden-
tally, keep the brake pedal pressed when
engaging the hand brake.
IMPORTANT
The hand brake lever (
A
)
is fitted with a safety device which prevents
the brake from being released when, with
the lever pulled, button (
B
) is pressed.
Therefore, to release the brake, in addition
to pressing button (
B
) it is also necessary
to pull lever (
A
) further upwards to release
the safety device, then lower the lever com-
pletely.
IMPORTANT
On certain versions a
buzzer sounds to alert the driver if the car
is moved with the hand brake engaged.
GEARSHIFT LEVER
(
fig. 95
)
The position of the single gears is shown
by the pictogram on the gearshift lever
knob.
When shifting gear, always fully depress
the clutch pedal. Before engaging reverse
gear (
R
) wait for the car to be stationary.
For versions fitted with six speed gearbox,
to engage reverse gear (
R
), raise the ring
under the grip (with the fingers of the same
hand holding the lever).
After engaging reverse gear, release the
ring. It is not necessary to raise the ring on
the lever when shifting from reverse to an-
other gear.

To change gear smoothly,
the clutch pedal must be
fully depressed. Therefore, there
should be no obstacles on the floor
under the pedal unit: make sure
that any mats are well laid and do
not interfere with the pedals.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Reverse gear may only be
engaged with the car completely at a stand-
still. With the engine running, before en-
gaging reverse gear it is necessary to wait
for at least 3 seconds with the clutch pedal
fully depressed to prevent clashing and the
possibility of damaging the gears.
