Releasing the parking brake
Pic. 1.85. Parking brake: 1 – parking brake lever; 2 - button for locking / unlocking the parking brake
Slightly pull lever 1 up, press button 2 and lower the lever to the floor level (pic. 1.85).
When driving with the parking brake not fully released, the red warning light on the instrument panel lights up.
Applying the parking brake
Pull the handle up and make sure the vehicle is safely braked.
Attention! Depending on the grade of the road and/or vehicle load, it may be necessary to apply the parking brake a minimum of two more clicks to brake the vehicle reliably, on a vehicle with a manual transmission, shift into gear (first or reverse), and on a car with an automatic transmission - set the selector to position P.
