Handbrake

To release:

Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 1 and then lower the lever to the floor.

To apply:

Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is properly immobilised.

Make sure that the handbrake is properly released when driving (red indicator light off), otherwise overheating, or even damage, may occur.

When stationary and depending on the slope and/or vehicle load, it may be necessary to pull up the handbrake at least two extra notches and engage a gear (1st or reverse gear) for vehicles with a manual gearbox or position P for vehicles with an automatic transmission.
