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.
Depending on country regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning
triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit,
mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc. We draw your attention to the following
points:
