WARNING
Water, ice or salt on road
surfaces can deposit on
brake discs, reducing braking efficiency
on the first braking.
HANDBRAKE
Controlled by a lever, it works mechanically
on the rear brake shoes.
For versions with rear disc brakes,
the handbrake works on the Drum in
hat device shoes.
IMPORTANT Pull the handbrake
lever only when the vehicle is at a
standstill, or when the vehicle is running,
but however only in case of a
failure of the hydraulic system.
Should the handbrake be exceptionally
used when the vehicle is running,
it is suggested to keep a moderate
traction to avoid causing the rear axle
block, entailing vehicle side skidding.
TRANSMISSION

travel-free pedal.

synchromesh for front gear engagement.

assembly incorporated in the gearbox.
