position (versions with automatic
transmission), or with the ignition
device at STOP (versions with manual
transmission). The LED on the switch
turns on together with the warning
light on the instrument panel when
the parking brake is engaged and
applied to the wheels. Each automatic
parking brake engagement can be
cancelled by pressing the switch on
the central tunnel and at the same time
moving the gear lever for the automatic
transmission to position P (Park) or the
ignition device to STOP (versions with
manual transmission). This method can
be handled by using the Uconnect™
system Menu.
SAFE HOLD
It is a safety function that automatically
engages the electric parking brake in
the event of a dangerous condition for
the car.
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 of the accelerator pedal or, on
versions with manual gearbox, of the
clutch pedal is detected; the electric
parking brake automatically engages to
prevent the vehicle from moving.
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 car 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.
WARNING

versions with automatic transmission, set
the lever to "P". If the car is parked on a
steep slope block the wheels with a wedge
or stone.
110) Never leave children alone in an
unattended car; make sure that when you
move away from the car, you have the key
with you.
111) The electric parking brake must
