Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away.
When using a pressure washer, hold the
lance at least 30 cm from the vehicle
(particularly when cleaning areas containing
chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's
paintwork (including tree resin, bird
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for advice on removing stubborn
stains requiring special products (such as tar
or insect removers).
Apply silicone oil to the door and window
seals every year and regularly lubricate the
door hinges and the locks.
To avoid damaging the seals when the vehicle
is parked for a long time, apply silicone-based
lubricant to the door seals and wax on the
bodywork in contact with the seals.
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 jet to clean
the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of
damage to the instruments and controls and
the controls located on the centre console. Be
vigilant!
When cleaning the windows, never use glass
cleaner on the heated rear screen.
Do not use corrosive cleaning products to
clean the surface of the vehicle windows.
Clean plastic components with a damp cotton
cloth dipped in a neutral pH and non-abrasive
solution. Clean oily or difficult stains with a
solvent-free product.

8Never keep a fire extinguisher that has
already been used or that does not bear
its seal.
When the fire extinguisher is not used, attach
it to its support. There is a risk of movement
in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
The fire extinguisher must be replaced
approximately every 5 years; the expiry date
is written on its label.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to replace the fire
extinguisher with one that has the same
specifications as the original.
