LR3/Disco 3
The emergency release cable allows the parking brake to be mechanically released if:
l
The parking brake cannot be electrically released because of a system fault.
l
The battery is disconnected or battery voltage decreases below 7.5 volts while the parking brake is applied, so
that the parking brake cannot be electrically released.
The parking brake is mechanically released by disconnecting the force sensor from the spline shaft in the parking brake
module. During normal operation, the force sensor and the spline shaft are locked together by a lever operated pawl on
the end of the spline shaft, which engages with a spigot on the force sensor.
The emergency release cable is a Bowden cable installed between the parking brake module and the center console. The
emergency release cable is held in clips along the underside of the vehicle and enters the passenger compartment below
