Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) while
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 1
and then lower the lever to the floor.
Handbrake/Power-assisted steering
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
When the vehicle is
stopped, depending on the
gradient and/or the vehicle
load, it may be necessary to
apply the handbrake by at least two
further notches and engage a gear
(1
st
or reverse).
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.
