HANDBRAKE WARNING
A warning light to warn the driver that the handbrake is on is located in the instrument panel.
On certain variants, when the ignition is switched on, the handbrake warning lamp will illuminate for a period of approximately 5 seconds to show that the warning lamp is operative. After 5 seconds, the lamp will go off if the handbrake is released. The warning lamp will illuminate at all times when the ignition is on and the handbrake is applied.
On other variants, the warning lamp will only illuminate when the ignition is on and the handbrake is applied.
