Contents Thank you for choosing this high-quality Veigel product! Symbols used The following symbols are used in these operating instructions: This symbol refers to information that, if not observed, will pose a risk to your health or the functionality of the device.
Safety information General information General safety information The hand control is a pre-assembled component that comes ready to install. It was designed and built in line with the harmonised standards that must be ob- served as well as further technical specifications. Consequently, it is a state-of- the-art product and provides the best possible level of safety while in operation. The hand control left the factory in a flawless condition in terms of technical safety. However, safety can only be achieved in practice if all the required actions have been taken. The person responsible for operation has a duty to plan these ac- tions and monitor their implementation. The hand control must not be used as an aid for getting into the vehicle. Observe the following in particular during assembly: • Installation and maintenance work may only be performed by specialist staff using suitable tools.

Safety information Observe the following in particular as a user: • Comply with generally accepted codes of practice when using and operating the hand control. • Observe the applicable accident prevention and safety provisions when op- erating the hand control. The complete operating and installation instructions must always be carried in the vehicle. The driving aid features built-on parts and levers that will restrict the space available on the driver’s side to a certain extent once installed.
Safety information Safety information Please read this safety information carefully. Only people who are familiar with the hand control and have been instructed in how to use it may drive the vehicle using this hand control. • It is recommended for disabled drivers who are unfamiliar with using the hand control to practise at a driver training area or similar the first few times they drive the vehicle.

Safety information The brake lock button (see "Brake lock function") is a starting aid and does not replace operation of the standard parking brake (handbrake). When getting out of the vehicle, do not use this button to secure the vehicle’s pos- ition on uphill/downhill slopes;...
The driver can depress the original accelerator pedal fully and it will have no function. If the original accelerator pedal is activated, then the Veigel additional acceler- ator will have no function. Do not install and operate the VEA-type electronics kit in Groupe PSA...
Product description Intended use The hand control is used to operate the accelerator and brake pedals in vehicles with an automatic gearbox. It must only be used by drivers with a suitable disability. The requirement to use the device must be indicated on the driver’s licence. An installation kit is required to install the hand control.
Tightening torques The tightening torques as specified by the vehicle manufacturer apply when converting vehicles using Veigel driving aids. Unless otherwise stated in the text, the usual DIN tightening torques provided in the table below apply for Veigel parts.
Assembly Assembling the eClassic III hand control Required standard parts: Required parts: 2x fillister-head screw M8-8.8 eClassic BHA23-016 hand control 2 x lock washer 8.4 Cover 1 1x securing clip for ball socket Cover 2 Brake pipe (supplied with the installation kit)
Assembly Assembling the brake rods Screw the M10 threaded pin of the brake pipe provided in the install- ation kit all the way into the articu- lated lug on the hand control. Secure with the lock nut. Tightening torque 20 Nm Fig.
Assembly Adjusting the brake rods With the engine running, use the two M12 lock nuts to adjust the length of the brake rods. Adjust the play in the rods to between a minimum of 1 mm and a maximum of 2 mm. Fig.
Assembly Adjusting the lateral tilt You must adjust the lateral tilt very carefully to ensure the hand control will work perfectly. The adjuster allows you to optimise the hand control's lateral tilt so it is ideal for the space actually avail- able in the driver's footwell.
Assembly Assembling the covers When assembling the covers, make sure that the clips audibly engage. This is the only way to be sure they are properly connected to the hand control. Finally, clip the covers onto the hand control. Fig. 4-6: Assembling the covers...
Assembly Accelerator pedal signal/pin assignment To find out how the pins and signals are assigned, use a multimeter to test the cables on the original accelerator module. The following signals are usually present: 2x supply voltage, 2x signal cables+, 2x earth. You can enter the signals you have measured in the table printed below.
Assembly Assembling the VEA Connect the plug to the VEA box. Fasten all loose cables and check that the relevant plugs are seated securely. Re-attach the trim panel to the dashboard in the driver's side footwell. Fig. 4-7: Plug detached from VEA box Fig.
Assembly Teaching in the VEA The teach-in process must have been completed successfully prior to commissioning. 1. Ignition off 2. Plug the TEACH-IN adapter into the black mating connector. 3. Ignition on 4. Status LED flashes slowly (ready for teach-in) 5.
Assembly Button with integrated status LED Drill a hole with a minimum 19.2 mm diameter in a suitable place. Note the length of the button and plan for a minimum depth of 40 mm. Insert and screw down the button, then connect it to the wiring har- ness supplied.

Operation Operation Brake: Accelerate Push the lever forwards to stop accelerating. Be gentle in your first few attempts at braking; the hand control does not require much force to make it work. Accelerate: Brake Rotate the lever downwards to apply the accelerator. Rotate the lever down fully to reach the kickdown.
Operation Brake lock function The hand control is equipped with a brake lock button to serve as a starting aid when at traffic lights, for example, or for changing the travel range on automatic gear- boxes. The brake lock button is also required when changing the se- lector lever on an automatic gearbox from P to D mode.
