Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.

Ancillaries battery
All of the electrical components on your vehicle
(with the exception of the electric motor, the
heating and the air conditioning) are powered
by the ancillaries battery.
It is located in the front compartment under
the bonnet and is charged by the main battery
during phases of operation ("Ready" lamp on in
the instrument panel) and charging.If the ancillaries battery is discharged,
the electric motor cannot be started and
charging of the main battery is no longer
possible.
It is not recommended to disconnect the
battery.
However, during a prolonged period of
more than one month without using your
vehicle, it may be necessary, in winter,
to disconnect the battery and store it to
prevent the electrolyte freezing.
After prolonged disconnection of the
battery, you must consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop in order to
have the electronic computer reset.
