Handbrake Manual transmission

The handbrake is primarily intended to

prevent the vehicle from rolling while

parked; it brakes the rear wheels.

Engaging

The lever engages automatically when

you pull it up and the indicator lamp

comes on in the instrument cluster in

ignition key position 2, refer to

pages 19, 21.

Releasing

Pull up slightly on the lever, press the

button and lower the lever.

If exceptional circumstances

should make it necessary to

engage the handbrake while the vehicle

is in motion, do not pull it too strongly.

In doing so, continuously press the but-

ton of the handbrake lever.

Excessive pressure can lead to over-

braking and loss of traction – fishtailing

– at the rear axle.

The brake lamps do not light up when

the handbrake is applied.

Vehicles with manual transmission:

Always engage the handbrake when

parking on slopes and inclined sur-

faces. Even placing the gearshift 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, apply the hand-

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.

Press the clutch pedal all the way down

each time you shift, pressing the gear-

shift lever into its proper end position.

Depress the clutch when starting the

vehicle, too, otherwise, the interlock will

prevent the engine from starting if the

clutch is not depressed.

While shifting in the 5th/6th gear

lane, press the selector lever

toward the right, as otherwise acciden-

tal shifting into the 3rd or 4th gear could

result in engine damage.<
