HANDBRAKE fig. 1
The handbrake lever is located between
the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the
handbrake. Four or five notches are nor-
mally sufficient to lock the car on flat ter-
rain, while nine or ten may be necessary
on a steep slope with the car loaded.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-
tact Fiat Dealership to have the hand-
brake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up
and the ignition key is atMAR, the in-
strument panel warning light will turn
on.
PARKING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
stop the engine and engage the hand-
brake;
engage a gear (on a slope, engage first
gear if the car is faced uphill or reverse
if it is faced downhill) and leave the
wheels steered.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is
further advisable to block the wheels with
a wedge or stone. Do not leave the key in
the ignition switch to prevent draining the
battery. Always remove the key when you
leave the car.

tended in the car. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving
the car and take it out with you.
