Advice
Vehicles equipped with a Turbo:
Turbo equipped engines MUST be allowed to return to idle for several seconds before switching off the ignition. Failure to do so could cause serious damage to the turbo unit.
Flicking the throttle pedal as the ignition is turned off can lead to severe damage to the turbo unit.

BRAKESII-3
54
Handbrake
To create a passage between the front seats, the handbrake lever is mounted
to the left of the driverÕs seat. The handbrake is operated by pulling the lever firmly up - pressing the foot-
brake will reduce the effort required to apply the handbrake. The handbrake is capable of holding the vehicle on all slopes likely to be
encountered but increased effort will be needed on steep slopes.
In all circumstances, as a precautionary measure, engage first gear.On steep slopes, turn the steering towards the kerb.
To release the brake, pull the lever lightly up, press the button on the end of the lever and return the lever to the fully down position. The warning lamp will come on if the handbrake is on or not fully released when the engine is running .

BRAKES55II-4
ABS - Anti-lock Braking System* This system improves vehicle safety by preventing the wheels from locking under emergency braking or when
braking on surfaces offering poor adhesion.
It thus also allows control of the steering to be retained. The operation of the various electronic components of the system is continuously monitored, both before and during your
journey. On switching on the ignition, the ABS lamp will light for approximately two seconds. If it stays on or lights when
driving, the ABS computer has detected a fault and has disconnected the ABS system. If the lamp lights whilst driving, it
again indicates that a fault has been detected and that the ABS system is inactive. In both situations, the normal braking
system is not affected and will continue to function as a conventional braking system without ABS. Nevertheless, to re-
establish the full safety features of the ABS system, It is recommended that the vehicle be examined by a dealer as soonas possible.
On slippery roads (loose stones, snow, ice, etc.), it is imperative to drive with caution.

CRUISE CONTROL*II-5

The cruise control device will automatically maintain a constant road speed
(minimum 25 mph) as selected by the driver. The cruise control stalk Ais located below the direction indicator/lighting
switch. Cruise control master switch B Press the switch to turn on ; the warning lamp lights.
Press the switch to turn off ; the warning lamp goes out.
Selecting a cruising speedCan only operate when fourth or fifth gears are selected and the road speed exceeds 25 mph. Drive at the desired speed and register it by flicking stalk Aup or down. The
speed is now memorised and automatically regulated.The regulated speed can be exceeded by depressing the accelerator (when overtaking for example). Releasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to be regulated automa- tically to the memorised speed. Briefly pushing the control stalk upwards will increase the regulated speed and pushing it downward will reduce the regulated speed.

CRUISE CONTROL*57II-5
BEWARE
Cruise control must only be used where road condi- tions permit. Do not use it on congested roads nor
when weather and road conditions are poor.
Disengaging the cruise control The cruise control will be disengaged on pressing either the clutch or brake pedal. Flicking stalk
Atoward you will also disengage the crui-
se control.The memorised speed is not cancelled. Recalling the memorised speed Following a disengagement, flick the stalk Arapidly
upwards or downwards and your vehicle will resume the last speed memorised. Increasing the memorised speed Move stalk Aupwards, hold until the new speed is rea-
ched and then release the stalk to memorise it. Reducing the memorised speed Move stalk Adownwards, hold until the new speed is
reached and then release the stalk to memorise it. (Minimum regulated speed = 25 mph). Cancelling the cruise control operation Either when the vehicle is stationary: ignition switched
off. Or Press switch B. The warning lamp will go out. AdviceDo not position your foot under the accelerator pedal
while the cruise control is operating. Your reactions maybe impeded and movement of your foot restricted.
