Do not remove the remote control from 
the ignition lock while the vehicle is roll-

ing, otherwise the steering wheel lock would 
engage while steering. 
When leaving the vehicle, always take the 
remote control with you. 
When parking on a downhill incline, apply the 
handbrake, as otherwise the vehicle could roll 
away.

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 applied.

The lever locks in position automatically.

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

If exceptional circumstances should 
make it necessary to engage the hand-

brake while the vehicle is in motion, do not pull it 
too strongly. In doing so, continuously press the 
button of the handbrake lever. Otherwise 
excessive pressure can lead to the rear wheels 
locking up and loss of traction – fishtailing – at 
the rear axle.

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

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

While shifting in the 5th/6th gear lane, 
press the gearshift lever toward the right, 

otherwise accidental shifting into the 3rd or 4th 
gear could result in engine damage.
