2010 PEUGEOT 3008 brake light

132
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull on control A .
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
- lighting of the braking warn-ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P on the control 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 accel-
erator, pull then release control A .
The full application of the parking brake
is confi rmed by:
- extinction of the braking warning lamp and of the
warning lamp P on control A ,
If you pull control A without
pressing the brake pedal, the
parking brake will not be re-
leased and a warning lamp will
light up on the instrument panel.
Manual application Maximum application
If necessary, you can utilise maximum
application of the parking brake. It is
obtained by means of a long pull on
control 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 on 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".

133
Automatic application, engine off
With the vehicle stationary, the parking
brake is automatically applied when
the engine is switched off.
- lighting of the braking warn- ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P on control A ,
Automatic release
The electric parking brake releases au-
tomatically and progressively when
you press the accelerator:

 Manual gearbox: press down
fully on the clutch pedal, engage
fi rst gear or reverse, press on the
accelerator pedal and move off.

 Electronic gear control gearbox :
select position A , M or R then press
on the accelerator pedal.

 Automatic gearbox: select posi-
tion D , M or R then press on the
accelerator pedal.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel is permanently lit.
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake. - extinction of braking warn-
ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P on control A ,
An operation sound will confi rm to you
the application/release of your electric
parking brake.
Full release of the parking brake is con-
fi rmed by:
To immobilise the vehicle, engine running
With the engine running and the vehicle
stationary, in order to immobilise the ve-
hicle it is essential to manually apply the
parking brake by pulling on control A .
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
- ighting of the braking warn-ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P on control A ,
When the driver’s door is opened, a
beep is heard and a message is dis-
played if the parking brake has not been
applied, unless the selector lever is in
position P (Park) in the case of an auto-
matic gearbox.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel is on, not fl ashing.
When stationary, with the en-
gine running, do not press the
accelerator pedal unneces-
sarily, as you may release the
parking brake.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
- display of the message "Handbrake on".
In the case of towing, a loaded vehi-
cle or parking on a gradient, turn the
front wheels towards the pavement
and engage a gear when you park. - displaying of the message
"Handbrake off". - display of the message
"Handbrake on".

134
Particular situations 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 control A will
stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during emer-
gency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
one of the following messages will be
displayed:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".
In certain situations (e.g.
starting 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 parking
brake by pulling then releasing con-
trol A . The full release of the parking
brake is confi rmed by the extinction of
warning lamp on control A and of the
warning lamp on the instrument panel
and the displaying of the message
"Handbrake off".
If the parking brake malfunctions

while applied or if the battery runs
fl at, an emergency release is always
possible. If a failure of the ESP system is
signalled by the lighting of this
warning lamp, then braking
stability is not guaranteed.
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull
release" actions on control
A .

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P or N to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction screen, indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P to R and from N to R .
This will not cause any damage to the
gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from posi- tion P to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), posi-
tion the gear lever at N and apply
the parking brake, unless it is pro-
grammed in automatic mode.
Manual operation

 Select position M for sequential
changing of the six gears.

 Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.

 Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.

D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
If the lever is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds
after the ignition is switched off, an au-
dible signal is heard and a message
appears.

 Return the lever to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the mes-
sage disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-
revving, the gear selected fl ashes for a
few seconds, then the actual gear en-
gaged is displayed.
