Handbrake
To create a passage between the front seats, the handbrake lever is mounted
to the right of the driver’s 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.
