GEAR LEVER/HANDBRAKE
Selecting reverse gear
Vehicles with manual gearbox: follow
the grid drawn on knob 1, and depend-
ing on the vehicle, lift ring against the
gear lever knob to select reverse.
Vehicle with automatic gearbox: refer
to the information on the “Automatic
gearbox” in Section 2.
The reversing lights will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected with
the ignition on.
Handbrake
To release:
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 3
and then lower the lever to the floor.
To apply:
Pull the lever 2 upwards and make sure
the vehicle is immobilised.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating may occur.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of the rear axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
