MANUAL OPERATION:
– The parking brake is engaged by pulling on the control lever (normal braking immobilises the vehicle).
– Over-application can be obtained by pulling and holding the lever for 5 seconds (maximum application for steep
hills or when the vehicle has reached its maximum permissible all-up weight).
– When the parking brake is applied, the computer super-applies if the force applied to the rear brake callipers is
insufficient (pads cooling) or if the computer detects slight vehicle movement. This detection is limited to
24 hours.
– The parking brake is released when the control lever is applied fully and the release switch is pressed.
ASSISTED OPERATION:
The electronic parking brake enables assisted application and release of the brake:
●Applying the brake: When the engine is switched off, the parking brake is applied when the driver presses the
start button
●Releasing: The brake releases when the drive wheels reach the torque required to move the vehicle
(Note:with automatic transmission, the driver's door must be closed).
Restrictions on assisted brake release in automatic transmissions:
Assisted release is not allowed in the following cases:
– Opening the driver's door followed by engaging a gear (gear lever in position D).
– Engaging a gear (gear lever in position D) followed by opening the driver's door. Note:
When the parking brake is applied, the red light on the instrument panel (brake pads) and indicator light on the
lever are lit.
Below 6 mph (10 km/h) pulling the lever applies the rear brakes. Above 6 mph (10 km/h) pulling the lever
provides dynamic emergency braking without locking the rear wheels (statutory deceleration of 1.5 m/s
2).
The electronic parking brake can only be released when the steering column is unlocked (forced + after ignition
feed, see Introduction).
Note: In this case, the instrument panel displays the message Lever in P or N and the buzzer on the instrument
panel sounds.
Note: In this case, release is authorised for 5 s after the driver's door has been opened (e.g. for a manoeuvre).
After 5 seconds release is prevented.
Note:
Assisted braking and release only occurs if the computer has been configured.
For details on how these configurations function, see Configuration and programming.

Fault finding – Interpretation of faults37B
DF025
PRESENT
OR
STOREDVEHICLE MOVEMENT WITH MAXIMUM APPLICATION
1. DEF: Rear wheel movement with parking brake applied
2. DEF: Front wheel movement with parking brake applied
NOTESPriorities when dealing with a number of faults:
First deal with faults DF046 Brake motor/cables connection, DF042 Force sensor,
DF035 Undervoltage, DF041 Slope sensor, DF049 Brake application, DF054
Battery voltage too high and DF055 Battery undervoltage, if they are present or
stored.
If none of these faults is present or stored, the parking brake computer is not normally
the cause.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to a stored fault:
Apply the fault finding procedure even if the fault is stored.
Note:
The fault does not remain present after it has been detected.
1. DEF
NOTESSpecial notes:
– This fault indicates that the electronic parking brake
computer detected rear wheel movement although the
parking brake was applied with maximum force.
– It may be associated with 2.DEF.
If this fault is not associated with the faults mentioned
above, check the conformity of the parking brake's
mechanical force line:
– Condition and conformity of rear brake pads.
– Parking brake cables correctly fitted.
– Good condition of the parking brake cables (no seizing
or deterioration).
– Conformity, condition and correct operation of the rear
brake callipers.
This fault is an operational warning. Check the context in
which it appears.
It may appear during:
– incorrect use of a roller test bench which drives the
rear wheels (MOT test),
– forced assisted release when starting, when the
starting conditions have not been met,
– vehicle overload on a very steep slope (maximum
permissible all-up weight exceeded + angle > 18°: e.g.
towing a trailer or a caravan).
AFTER REPAIRIf the computer has been replaced (at the request of the Techline), initialise the
electronic parking brake computer (see Replacement of components).
Issue several braking and release commands to confirm the repair.
Deal with any other faults.
