Hybrid vehicles
Before any work is carried out under the
bonnet, it is essential to switch off the ignition
and check that the READY indicator lamp is
off in the instrument panel - risk of serious
injury!
The location of the interior bonnet release lever prevents the bonnet being
opened when the left-hand front door is
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch with care (risk of
burns), using the protected area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after
the engine has been switched off.
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the fan!

Practical information
7(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect
secretions, pollen and tar).
If justified by the environment, clean the
vehicle more frequently to remove salty
deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial
estates) and mud (in wet or cold areas).
These substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop if you require advice on removing
stubborn stains requiring special products
(such as tar or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a
water hose or high-pressure washer to
clean the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of
damage if they come into contact with the
controls in the dashboard and centre console.
Take care!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products or
solvents, petrol or oil to clean the
bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean
stubborn stains. Risk of scratching the
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on
the product.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high pressure washer to
clean the vehicle. Risk of damaging or
detaching the decals!
Use a high-flow hose at a temperature
between 25°C and 40°C.
Sweep the jet of water across the surface to
be cleaned, perpendicular to it.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular
care is essential for its durability.
It must be protected and nourished using a
specific leather product, to keep it supple and
preserve its original appearance.
Do not clean leather using unsuitable
cleaning agents such as solvents,
detergents, petrol or pure alcohol.
When cleaning items partly made from
leather, take care not to damage the other
materials with the specific leather product.
Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids,
quickly mop up any surplus.
Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable
to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has
been dampened with demineralised water
and thoroughly wrung out.
Clean leather using a soft cloth moistened
with soapy water or a pH-neutral product.
Dry with a soft, dry cloth.

In the event of a breakdown
Changing a fuse
Before changing a fuse:
► Identify the cause of the fault and fix it.
►

Stop all power consumption.
►


Immobilise the vehicle and switch the ignition
off.
►


Identify the defective fuse using the current
allocation tables and diagrams.
T

o replace a fuse, it is essential to:
►

Use the special tweezers to extract the fuse
from its housing and check the condition of its
filament.

Always replace the failed fuse with a fuse of
the same rating (same colour); use of a different
rating may cause malfunctions - risk of fire!
If the fault recurs after replacing a fuse, have
the electrical system checked by a PEUGEOT


dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fuse allocation tables and the corresponding diagrams are available
from a PEUGEOT dealer or from a qualified
workshop.
The replacement of a fuse not shown in the allocation tables may cause a serious
malfunction of your vehicle. Contact a
