If exceptional circumstances

make it necessary to engage the

parking brake while the vehicle is in

motion, do not pull it with excessive

pressure. Keep your thumb pressed

against the release button while care-

fully pulling the lever up.

Excessive pressure can lead to over-

braking and loss of traction – fishtailing

– at the rear axle.

The brake lamps do not come on when

the parking brake is engaged.

Always engage the parking brake when

parking on slopes and inclined sur-

faces. Engaging a gear may not provide

adequate resistance to rolling, not even

in first or reverse gear.<

To avoid corrosion and one-sided

braking, apply the parking brake

lightly from time to time when coasting

to a standstill – at a traffic light, for

example – provided that it is safe to do

so.<

Manual transmission

When shifting gears in the

fifth/sixth gear plane, be sure to

press the gearshift lever to the right in

order to prevent inadvertent selection

of a gear in the third/fourth gear plane.

Do not hold the vehicle in place on

slopes by slipping or 'riding' the clutch.

Use the parking brake instead. Riding

the clutch leads to severe and prema-

ture clutch wear.<

Reverse

Select only when the vehicle is station-

ary. Press the gearshift lever to the left

to overcome the slight resistance.

When you select reverse the backup

lamps will light up automatically when

the ignition key is in position 2.
