Parking brake

The parking brake is primarily intended to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling while parked; it
brakes the rear wheels.

Indicator lamp

The indicator lamp lights up, and a sig-
nal sounds when you drive away. The
parking brake is applied.
Indicator lamp for Canadian models.

Applying

The lever locks in position automatically.

Releasing

Pull slightly upwards, press the button and
lower the lever.

If exceptional circumstances should
make it necessary to apply the parking

brake while the vehicle is in motion, do not pull it
too firmly. In doing so, continuously press the
button of the parking brake lever. Otherwise,
too firm an application of the parking brake can
lock up the rear wheels and cause the rear of the
vehicle to swerve.

To prevent corrosion and one-sided brak-
ing action, occasionally engage the park-

ing brake lightly when the vehicle is slowly com-
ing to a stop if the traffic conditions are suitable.
The brake lamps do not light up when the park-
ing brake is applied.

slight jolt. This part of normal operation and no
reason for concern.

Reverse gear
