Adjusting the handbrake is a fairly simple operation, but it requires a bit of patience. Start by parking the car on a flat surface, then pull the handbrake and loosen the nuts on the rear wheels. Use a jack to lift the car and place it on secure stands. Now, locate the handbrake cable under the central tunnel, near the lever. Using a wrench, slightly unscrew the adjustment nut until you achieve the correct tension: the brake should lock after 5-7 clicks of the lever. Make sure the rear wheels spin freely when the brake is released. Once finished, lower the car, tighten the wheel nuts, and take it for a test drive. If you do not feel confident in performing this operation on your own, seek assistance from a trusted workshop.

Where to Find and How to Remove the Spare Wheel of a Peugeot 5008?
The spare wheel of a Peugeot 5008 is located under the rear of the vehicle. To remove it, you need to lift the third row of seats to access the fixing bolt that holds the spare wheel in position. Using the correct spanner, proceed to unscrew the fixing bolt until the wheel is no longer secured. At this point, you can extract the spare wheel from underneath the vehicle. Once you have completed this step, you are free to fit the spare wheel. Ensure you correctly remount the spare wheel and securely tighten the fixing bolt when you are finished. by ScegliAuto More videos
