Do you hear the motors activating after you press the parking brake release switch?
If so then it could be as simple as the pads have slightly stuck to the discs - with the parking brake released a more forceful pull away in forwards, then in reverse & then in forwards should unstick them - certainly worth a try before diagnosing further. Certainly over here we've had plenty of rain & cold weather over the past week which can do that.

 

Yep as above 'stuck' pads....may even want stripping or perhaps just rocking as said before

 

I agree if you can hear the motors release then the brake is not actually on its just the pads stuck to disc just rock car back and forward on the clutch a few times till it breaks free and dont put the handbrake on if parking for long periods especially if outside as condensation is what makes them stick

 

I have 3008 auto and have the same problem. The car is also parked in the garage, so very dangerous to try and rock the car back and forth as suggested. Is it possible to park with the electric hand brake off.Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank.

 

Yes it is possible to park with the hb off - from memory you switch off engine so hb is activated, then switch on ignition, release hb via console switch and footbrake and then switch off ignition - it gives audible warning until key is removed or while door is open - obviously make sure the car is then in gear, chocked etc.
If this is happening regularly then maybe good to get the rear brakes checked to ensure all is as it should be.

 

Hi all
Please help my 308 is stuck with the hand brake ok I do not hear the motors at all
I can't even move the car at all
Hi can I release the hand brake if the motors are not moving at all.

Thanks in anticipation of help

 

Either call out recovery to deal with it OR carefully unbolt each handbrake motor from the back of the rear brake calipers.

NOTE: Make sure the vehicle is switched off, in gear / park & you chock the wheels before unbolting the caliper motors.

 

Thanks
If I do that, how do I then release the pads
So as to manually release the brake and drive to the garage

 

Hi all again I'm posting now to help anyone else.
I did remove the motors but then I had to wind back the automatic brakes manually with a Torx bit. Then I replaced the motors with out connecting the cables. Now I can move the car and drive to the garage.
Also while the motors were off I powered each one with 12v to test both were fine and functional.

 

This was the exact reason why I tried to get the manual parking brake over the electric parking brake when I spec'ed my Riftet. But sadly, the manual is only offered on the Active which no longer is not offered in Norway.
