The transmission is not in the P
(Park) position;
the driver's seat belt is not fastened;

automatically to prevent car 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 car stationary and the driver
side door open.
Once disabled, the function will activate
again when the car speed reaches
20 km/h or the ignition device is
moved to STOP and then the ENGINE
position.

the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the
car is parked on a steep slope.

unattended car; make sure that when you

SPEED LIMITER
(where provided)
DESCRIPTION
This device allows the speed of the car
to be limited to values which can be set
by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with car stationary and in motion. The
minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.
When the device is active, the car
speed depends on the pressure
at the accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached
(see "Speed limit programming"
paragraph).
