Safehold; Brake Service Mode - Fiat 500X 2020 Owner's Manual

SafeHold

SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB system
that will engage the park brake automatically if
the vehicle is left unsecured while the ignition
switch is in the RUN mode.
For automatic transmissions, the EPB will auto-
matically engage if all of the following condi-
tions are met:
Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).

There is no attempt to depress the brake pedal

or accelerator pedal.
The seat belt is unbuckled.

The driver door is open.

The vehicle is not in the PARK position.

For manual transmissions, the EPB will auto-
matically engage if all of the following condi-
tions are met:
Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).

There is no attempt to depress the brake pedal

or accelerator pedal.
The clutch pedal is not pressed.

The seat belt is unbuckled.

The driver door is open.

SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by
pushing the EPB Switch while the driver door is
open and the brake pedal is pressed. Once
manually bypassed, SafeHold will be enabled
again once the vehicle reaches 12 mph
(20 km/h) or the ignition is cycled to the OFF
mode and back to RUN mode.

Brake Service Mode

We recommend having your brakes serviced by
an authorized dealer. You should only make
repairs for which you have the knowledge and
the right equipment. You should only enter
Brake Service Mode during brake service.
When servicing your rear brakes, it may be
necessary for you or your technician to push the
rear piston into the rear caliper bore. With the
Electric Park Brake (EPB) system, this can only
be done after retracting the EPB actuator. The
actuator retraction can be done easily by
entering the Brake Service Mode through the
STARTING AND OPERATING
Uconnect Settings in your vehicle. This menu
based system will guide you through the steps
necessary to retract the EPB actuator in order to
perform rear brake service.
Brake Service Mode has requirements that
must be met in order to be activated:
The vehicle must be at a standstill.

The parking brake must be disabled.

The transmission must be in PARK or

NEUTRAL.
The EPB switch not activated.

The ignition is in the ON/RUN mode.

The brake pedal not pressed.

While in service mode, the EPB fault lamp will
flash continuously while the ignition is cycled
ON.
NOTE:
A dedicated message will appear in the instru-
ment cluster if Brake Service Mode cannot be
activated.
