Parking brake
The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent the vehicle from rolling while parked; it brakes the rear wheels.
Indicator lamp
The indicator lamp is lit, and when you drive
off a signal sounds in addition. The parking brake is still applied.
Indicator lamp for Canadian models.
The lever locks in position automatically.
Releasing
Pull slightly upwards, press the button and lower the lever.
In exceptional cases, if the parking brake has to be used to slow or stop the car, do not pull the lever up too hard. In doing so, continuously press the button of the parking brake lever.
Otherwise, excessive force on the parking brake can lock up the rear wheels and cause the rear of the car to swerve.
To prevent corrosion and one-sided braking action,
occasionally apply the parking
brake lightly when the vehicle is slowly coming to a stop if the traffic conditions are suitable. The brake lamps do not light up when the parking brake is applied.
