Please refer to your owner's manual and the instructions enclosed with this letter. When applying the handbrake pull the lever up fully without touching the release button. If these operating instructions are followed the handbrak'es effecicieny will be unaffected. It is important that other drivers of your Civic are also made aware of these instructions".
Comforting words I'm sure but they will mean nothing when I'm chasing my civic down a hill, like in a scene from "Last of the Summer Wine"
