To release the handbrake:<br />
1) slightly lift the handbrake and press<br />
release button A-fig. 1;<br />
2) keep the button pressed and lower<br />
the lever. Warning light x will go<br />
out;<br />
3) press the brake pedal when carrying<br />
out this operation to prevent the<br />
vehicle moving accidentally.<br />
IMPORTANT Pull the handbrake<br />
lever only when the vehicle is at a<br />
standstill, or when the vehicle is running,<br />
but however only in case of a failure<br />
of the hydraulic system.<br />
Should the handbrake be exceptionally<br />
used when the vehicle is running, it<br />
is suggested to keep a moderate traction<br />
to avoid causing the rear axle<br />
block, entailing vehicle side skidding.<br />
USING THE<br />
MANUAL GEARBOX<br />

the gear stick into one of the positions<br />
shown in the diagram fig. 2 (the diagram<br />
is also on the gear lever knob).<br />
To engage reverse, lift the sliding ring<br />
A under the knob and shift the lever<br />
to the left and forth.<br />

IMPORTANT Only engage the reverse<br />
gear when the vehicle is completely<br />
stationary.<br />
With the engine running, before engaging<br />
reverse, wait for at least 2 seconds<br />
with the clutch pedal pressed to<br />
avoid damaging the gears and grating.<br />
WARNING<br />
You must press the clutch<br />
fully down to change gear<br />
properly. It is therefore essential<br />
that there is nothing under the pedals.<br />
Make sure that mats are lying<br />
flat and do not get in the way of<br />
pedals.<br />
