The red warning light on the instrument panel will come on if you are driving with an incorrectly released handbrake.
To apply:
Pull the lever 2 upwards and make sure‑ the vehicle is immobilised. The warning light img_2_all_026_1.svg on the instrument panel will come on.
WARNING
An impact to the underside of the vehicle while manoeuvring (e.g. striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g. deformation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved dealer.
WARNING
Make sure that the handbrake is properly released when driving (red indicator light off), otherwise overheating, or even damage, may occur.
WARNING
Depending on the gradient and/or vehicle load, it may be necessary when stationary to apply the brake by at least a further two notches and engage a gear (1 or reverse gear).
