DRIVING YOUR CAR

HANDBRAKE

The handbrake lever is between the

front seats.

Pull the handbrake lever upwards

until the car cannot be moved. Four
or five clicks are generally enough
when the car is on level ground while
nine or ten may be required if the car
is on a steep slope or laden.

IMPORTANT If this is not the

case, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the handbrake adjusted.

Instrument panel warning light x

will come on when the handbrake
lever is pulled up and the ignition key
is at MAR.

To release the handbrake:

1) Slightly lift the hand brake and

press release button A-fig. 1;

2) keep the button pressed in and

lower the lever. Warning light x will
go out;

3) to prevent accidental movement

of the car, this procedure should be
carried out with the brake pedal
pressed down.

STEERING LOCK LEVER

Use the brake pedal to lock the bot-

tom end.

HOW TO USE
THE GEARS

The lever positions for the different

gears are shown in fig. 2 (this diagram
is also on the gear knob).

Press the clutch fully.

To put the car in reverse (R), wait

until the car has stopped and, from
neutral: move the lever to the right
and back.
