Lowering the handbrake lever without releasing the handbrake. Engage the handbrake firmly and de-clutch the lever by pulling the release button out. To return the lever to its nor-
mal position, pull it upwards until the pawl engages.When the lever is de-clutched, the warning lamp will remain lit indicating that the handbrake is not released. Handbrake
To create a passage between the front seats, the handbrake lever is mounted
to the right of the driverÕs seat. The handbrake is operated by pulling the lever firmly up - pressing the foot-
brake will reduce the effort required to apply the handbrake. The handbrake is capable of holding the vehicle on all slopes likely to be
encountered but increased effort will be needed on steep slopes.
In all circumstances, as a precautionary measure, engage first gear.On steep slopes, turn the steering towards the kerb.
To release the brake, pull the lever lightly up, press the button on the end of the lever and return the lever to the fully down position. The warning lamp will come on if the handbrake is on or not fully released when the
engine is running .

SEAT BELTS114
Replacing the pyrotechnic pretensioner systems
They must be replaced following deployment or within ten years after first
registration of the vehicle. This must be done by the dealer network. In accordance with the strict security regulations in force, any repairs or checks must be performed exclusively by the dealer network. Any repairs that have not been carried out in strict compliance with the regulations could prevent the systems from operating correctly or couldcause their premature deployment, with the risk of bodily injuries.
Warning When the pretensioners are deployed, there is a light dischargeof harmless smoke and a loudnoise, both due to the detonation ofthe integral explosive cartridgesthat activate them.

Seat belts equipped with pyrotechnic pretensioners and grabbers
¥ The purpose of the pretensioners is to tension the front seat belts in such a
way as to pull the occupants back into their seat, thereby improving the seat
belt's effectiveness.
¥ As the pretensioners activate, the seat belt grabber locks the belt. As the seat belt locks, only a very slight extension of the belt takes place and fur-ther forward movement of the occupant during the impact is restricted.
In the event of an accident or violent braking, the seat belt will restrain theoccupants and prevent them from being thrown from the vehicle. It is for this reason that legislation demands that both front and rear seat occu- pants wear a seat belt, including pregnant women.

AIR CONDITIONING*III-2
50
Air conditioning
The air conditioning system will only operate with the engine running. Press the switch Aon the dashboard.
A warning lamp confirms that the system is switched on.
For the air conditioning to be fully effective, the windows should be closed. The system contains a non-polluting CFC sub- stitute. If after a prolonged stop in direct sunlight the inside of the car is hot, leave the windows openfor a few minutes to provide a rapid air change,then close them.
Air recycling
To obtain the most effective cooling in the pas-senger compartment in very hot conditions,select the recycling position. Set control Bto the left, and place the heater
blower control Din the mid-way position.
It is recommended that the control not be left in the recycling position for longer than necessa-
ry. The normal position will provide a conti-nuous fresh air supply to the passenger com-partment. Rapid demisting Switch on the air conditioning.Set the control to the fresh air position and air flow to
maximum.Select the demisting position using control C.
Set the temperature control to maximum. Note: A normal consequence of having the air conditioning turned
on is that water condenses on the surface of the air conditioner. This drains out through a specially provided hole and may form apuddle under the car when parked.
To maintain effective operation of the compressor seals, ope- rate the air conditioning at least once a month. The air conditioning is useful even in winteras it can be used to
remove moisture from the air.
