The handbrake is primarily intended to prevent 
the vehicle from rolling while parked; it brakes 
the rear wheels.

The indicator lamp lights up, and a sig-
nal also sounds when starting off. The 
handbrake is engaged.

The lever engages automatically.

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

If it becomes necessary under special cir-
cumstances to use the handbrake while 

driving, it must not be pulled too sharply. In 
doing so, continuously press the button of the 
handbrake lever. Otherwise strong application 
of the handbrake can lead to overbraking of the 
rear axle and associated 'fishtailing' of the vehi-
cle rear end.

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

brake lightly when the vehicle is slowly coming 
to a stop if traffic conditions permit.
The brake lamps do not light up when the hand-
brake is engaged.

<

When shifting into 5th/6th gear, press the 
selector-lever toward the right, otherwise 

an inadvertent shift into 3rd or 4th gear could 
lead to engine damage.
