up ring1against the gear lever knob
to select reverse gear.
The reversing lights illuminate as
soon as reverse gear is selected

If you are driving with the
handbrake incorrectly released, the
red warning light on the instrument

The lever should travel about 10
notches to hold the vehicle. Your
vehicle has self adjusting rear brake
shoes and the handbrake should
only be adjusted during a brake
overhaul.
When the vehicle is
stationary, make sure
that the handbrake is
properly applied so that
the vehicle does not move
unintentionally.
Make sure the handbrake is
properly released when driving,
otherwise overheating may
occur.Never leave the steering on full lock
when the vehicle is parked (risk of
damaging the power assisted
steering pump).
Never switch off the
engine when travelling
downhill, and avoid
doing so when driving in
general (power steering and
brake servo will not function).

HEATING - VENTILATION(continued)
• Position
For improved efficiency, close the
dashboard air vents.
All the air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisters and the side
window demisters.• Position (Isolation position)
This position prevents any air from
entering (regardless of the position
of controlC). This allows the
passenger compartment to be isolated
from the external environment
(driving through polluted areas, etc.).
Prolonged use of the ISOLATION
position may cause the windows to
mist up.
We recommend that another position
is selected as soon as the polluted area
is left behind.

Adjusting the amount of air
supplied to the passenger
compartment
Move controlCfrom0to4.
Passenger compartment ventilation
is by “blown air”. The ventilation
fan determines how much air enters
but vehicle speed has a slight effect
on this.
The further the control is positioned
to the right, the more air is blown
into the passenger compartment.
Heated rear screen
With the engine running,
press buttonDand warning lightE
illuminates.
This function ensures the de-icing
and demisting of the rear screen and
the heated external rear view mirrors
(if the vehicle is fitted with them).

buttonDThis function allows the desired
warmth of the passenger
compartment to be achieved as
quickly as possible.
This button switches the air recycling
