conforming to European standards EN 228 and
EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex

Textured paint
The textured paint reacts to light with variations
of appearance and finish that emphasise
the car's lines and form. This paint contains
particles that remain visible and create
a unique satin effect with relief. Its lightly
granulated texture gives it a surprising feel.
Straight cut matt paint
Maintenance:
Observe the following recommendations to
avoid damaging the paint finish:
-
C
hoose a high pressure wash, or at least a
high water delivery; roller brush washing is
compatible.
-

G
ently wipe the body with a clean
microfibre cloth.
-

C
arefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the body
using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.
-

C
lean off minor marks (for example,
finger marks), using the product in the
"TECHNATURE" range intended for
removing insects.
The following recommendations should be
taken into account in the care and maintenance
of the matt paint. They also appear in the
servicing and warranty booklet for the vehicle.
-

N

ever clean the vehicle without water.
-

N

ever clean your vehicle in an automatic
roller-brush car wash.
-

N

ever polish the body or the alloy wheels.
This makes the paint bright. -
D
o not use paint restorers, abrasive or
polishing products or paint preservers
(wax polish, for example) on the paintwork.
These products are only suitable for bright
finishes. Using them on vehicles finished
with matt paint seriously damages the
sur face finish of the vehicle, resulting in
particular in the appearance of irreversible
bright or stained areas.
-

N

ever use a high pressure jet washer fitted
with a brush as this may scratch the paint
sur face.
-

N

ever select a wash programme with a
final hot wax cycle.
On the other hand:
-

D
o not use a wash programme that
includes a final hot wax cycle.
-

D
o not use waterless cleaning.
-

N
ever polish the vehicle.
-

D
o not use paint restorers, abrasive
or polishing products, or bright paint
preservers (wax polish, for example).
It is always preferable to have paint repairs
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
