Parking Brake - PEUGEOT 2008 Handbook

Keep away from your vehicle, the label
attached to the keys given to you on
handover of the vehicle. It will help in
finding the original code for replacement
of the key.
Switching off the engine
F Immobilise the vehicle.
F With the engine running at idle, turn the key
to position 1.
F Remove the key from the ignition switch.
F To lock the steering column, turn the
steering wheel until it locks.
To facilitate unlocking of the steering
column, it is recommended that the
wheels be returned to the straight ahead
position before switching off the engine.
F Check that the parking brake is correctly
applied, particularly on sloping ground.
Never switch off the ignition before the
vehicle is at a complete stop. With the
engine off, the braking and steering
assistance systems are also cut off: risk of
loss of control of the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, keep the key
with you and lock the vehicle.
Free-wheeling
For safety reasons, do not free-wheel.
Otherwise, some vehicle functions will no
longer be active.
Switching off the engine leads to a loss of
braking assistance.
Energy economy mode
After switching off the engine (position
1 – Stop), for a maximum of 30 minutes you
can still use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, the wipers, dipped beam
headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
For more information on Energy
economy mode, refer to the
corresponding section.

switch at position 2 (Ignition on), the
ignition will be switched off automatically
after one hour.
