IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition key is at MAR the panel
warning light
will come on.

❒ Slightly lift the handbrake and press release button (A);
❒ Keep button (A) pressed in and lower the lever. Warning light x will go out.
