General safety
recommendations
Labels are affixed in different locations on
your vehicle. They include safety warnings
and vehicle identification information. Do
not remove them: they are an integral part
of your vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use
a qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required,
all of which a
PEUGEOT dealer is able to
provide. We draw your attention to the following
points:
-
T
he fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not approved by
PEUGEOT may cause excessive
current consumption and faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a
PEUGEOT

vehicle's electronic systems, is
reser ved strictly for PEUGEOT dealers

of malfunctions of the vehicle's
electronic systems that could cause
breakdowns or serious accidents).
The Manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not
followed.

intended or authorised by PEUGEOT
or carried out without meeting the
technical requirements defined by

must contact a PEUGEOT dealer for the
