Manual Gearbox - Fiat 500X Owner's Handbook Manual

SAFE HOLD
It is a safety function that automatically
engages the electric parking brake in
the event of a dangerous condition for
the vehicle.
If:
❒ the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h;
❒ the gear lever is not at P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission);
❒ the driver's seat belt is not fastened;
❒ the driver side door is open;
❒ no attempted operation of the brake
pedal or, on versions with manual
gearbox, the clutch pedal or the
accelerator pedal is detected;
the electric parking brake engages
automatically to prevent vehicle
movement.
The Safe Hold function can be
temporarily disabled by pressing the
switch located on the central tunnel
and the brake pedal at the same time,
with the vehicle stationary and the
driver side door open.
Once disabled, the function will activate
again when the vehicle speed reaches
20 km/h or the ignition device is moved
to STOP and then to MAR.
