What to do if the handbrake is locked in the 500x?
Years 2014-2022

Answer

It may happen that in the Fiat 500x the handbrake locks up. You can, of course, solve the problem without going to the workshop by doing it yourself. The handbrake can be activated and deactivated by turning on the ignition without starting the engine and pressing the brake pedal.
