Parking brake

To engage

The parking brake is designed primarily

to prevent the vehicle from rolling when

it is parked. It acts on the rear wheels.

The lock engages automatically when

you lift the lever, and the indicator lamp

in the instrument panel comes on when

the ignition key is in position 2. Refer to

page 21.

To release

Pull up slightly on the lever, press the

button (arrow) and lower the lever.

If, in exceptional circumstances,

it should be necessary to apply the

parking brake while the vehicle is in

motion, do not pull the lever with exces-

sive pressure. Keep your thumb

pressed against the release button

while carefully pulling the lever up to

apply moderate pressure.

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 applied.

Vehicles with manual transmission:

Always apply the parking brake when

parking on slopes and inclined surfaces,

since placing the lever in 1st gear or

reverse may not provide adequate

resistance to rolling.

Vehicles with automatic transmission:

Place the selector lever in "Park."<

To avoid corrosion and one-sided

braking, apply the parking brake lightly

from time to time when coasting to a

standstill (at a traffic signal, for

instance), provided that it is safe to do

so.
