HANDBRAKE POWER STEERING
Never drive with an inadequately-
charged battery.
Variable power assisted steering
The variable assistance power
steering has an electronic
management system that adapts the
level of assistance to the vehicle
speed.
Steering is made easier during
parking manoeuvres (for added
comfort) whilst the force needed to
steer rises progressively as speed
increases (for enhanced safety at
high speeds).
To apply:
Pull upwards, make sure that the
vehicle cannot move
To release:
Pull lever 1gently upwards, push in
button 2and lower the lever to the
floor.
Make sure that the
handbrake is properly
released when driving
(red indicator light off),
otherwise overheating may occur. Depending on the slope
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary to apply the
brake by an additional two
notches and to engage a gear (1st
or reverse) for manual vehicles, or
position Pfor automatic vehicles.
Never switch off the
ignition when travelling
downhill, and avoid doing
so in normal driving
(power steering and brake servo
will not function).
