2010.5 Peugeot 3008 Dag Owner's Manual

132
The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:
- Automatic application/release
Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),
- Manual application/release
The parking brake can be applied/ released manually by pulling control
lever A .
Deactivation is recommended
in particularly cold conditions
(ice) and during towing (break-
down, caravan...). Refer to the
"Manual release" paragraph.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration
of the vehicle, the automatic application
when the engine is switched off and the
automatic release when you press the
accelerator can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
the automatic mode is deac-
tivated. Activation/deactivation of
this function is possible by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible sig-
nal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied. Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone, ...) be-
hind the electric brake control.

133
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is run-
ning or off, pull on the control lever A .
Application of the parking brake is con-
fi rmed by:
-
illumination of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P in the control lever A ,
When the driver’s door is opened with
the engine running, a beep is heard and
a message is displayed if the parking
brake has not been applied, unless the
selector lever is in position P (Park) in
the case of an automatic gearbox.
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine run-
ning, to release the parking brake,

press on the brake
pedal or the ac-
celerator, pull then release the control
lever A .
Full application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
- the braking warning lamp and of the warning lamp P in the
the control lever A going off,
If you pull the control lever A
without pressing the brake ped-
al, the parking brake will not be
released and a warning lamp
will come on in the instrument
panel.
Manual application Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maxi-
mum application of the parking brake.
It is obtained by means of a long pull
on the control lever A , until you see the
message "Handbrake on" and a beep
is heard.
In the case of towing, a loaded
vehicle or parking on a gradi-
ent, make a maximum applica-
tion of the parking brake then turn the
front wheels towards the pavement
and engage a gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the re-
lease time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel is on, not fl ashing.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the automatic
functions are activated but you are
applying the parking brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a
ferry, in a lorry, during towing).
- display of the message "Handbrake on". - display of the message
"Handbrake off".

135
Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. start-
ing the engine), the parking brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few cen-
timetres without starting the engine,
but with the ignition on, press on the
brake pedal and release the park-
ing brake by pulling then releasing
control lever A . The full release of
the parking brake is confi rmed by the
warning lamp in the control lever A
and the warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel going off and the display
of the message "Handbrake off".
If a parking brake fault occurs while
applied or if the battery runs fl at, an
emergency release is always pos-
sible.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
In the event of a failure of the main ser-
vice brake or in an exceptional situation
(e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction,
etc) a continuous pull on the control
lever
A
will stop the vehicle .
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during emer-
gency braking.
If there is a fault with the emergency
braking, one of the following messages
will be displayed:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP system is
signalled by the illumination of
this warning lamp, then brak-
ing stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be
assured by the driver by repeating al-
ternate "pull release" actions on control
lever A .

The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.

In the event of the electric parking brake
malfunctioning or the battery running
fl at, an emergency manual device can
release the parking brake.
Emergency release
 Immobilise the vehicle (or keep
it stationary, if the brake pedal is
pressed), with the engine running,
by engaging fi rst gear (manual gear-
box), position P (automatic gearbox)
or M or R (6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox).

 Switch off the engine but leave the
ignition on. If it is impossible to im-
mobilise the vehicle, do not operate
the control and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer urgently.

 Fetch the two vehicle blocks and
the release device, located under
the boot carpet (see "Changing a
wheel" in the "Practical information"
section).

 Immobilise the vehicle by placing
blocks in front and behind one of the
front wheels.

 Slide the front left-hand seat back

 Turn the release device clockwise.


For safety reasons , it is essential
to continue turning the device as far
as it will go. The parking brake is re-
leased.
 Remove the release device and
store it with the blocks in the tool-
box.
- The operation of the parking brake reinitialises when the igni-
tion is switched off then on again.
If the reinitialisation of the parking
brake proves impossible, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
- The subsequent time required for application may be longer than dur-
ing normal operation.
For safety reasons, you must
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
as soon as possible to replace
the protective cover.
Following an emergency unlocking,
immobilisation of the vehicle is no
longer guaranteed once the manual
emergency release has been de-
ployed and the manual control does
not allow the re-application of your
parking brake.
Take no action, either on the control
lever A , or stopping or starting the
engine while the release device is
engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or
dust in the proximity of the protective
cover.

HILL START ASSIST
System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradi-
ent, the time it takes to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
Operation

On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a momentarily when you release
the brake pedal:
- provided you are in fi rst gear or neu- tral on a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in A or M on an
electronic gear control gearbox,
- provided you are in D or M on an
automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear
engaged, the vehicle is held momen-
tarily when you release the brake
pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start
assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the park-
ing brake manually then ensure that
the parking brake warning lamp (and
the warning lamp P in the lever of the
electric parking brake) are on fi xed
(not fl ashing).
If a fault occurs, these warning lamps
come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.
