requiring you to restart the procedure.
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 and deactivate 
the "hands-free" function (Hands-Free 
Tailgate Access).
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet 
nozzle at a minimum distance of 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).
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!
To clean instrument panels, touch screens 
or other displays, wipe gently with a soft, 
dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g. alcohol, 
disinfectant) or soapy water directly on these 
surfaces - risk of damage!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products, 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 cloth 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.
Textured paint
This type of paint reacts under the effect of 
light, through variations in appearance and 
finish that highlight the lines and contours of the 
vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that 
remain visible and create a unique satin effect 
with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a 
surprising touch.
Never attempt to clean without water.
Never clean your vehicle in an automatic 
roller-brush car wash.

E.Compartment housing a cable with an 
adaptor for a 12
  V socket.
F. Sealant cartridge.
G. White pipe with cap for repair and inflation.
H. Speed limit sticker.
The vehicle's electrical system allows the 
connection of the compressor for long 
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture 
repair.
Only use the two 12 V sockets, located at the 
front, to connect your compressor.
Repair and sealing 
procedure
► Park the vehicle without obstructing any 
traffic and apply the parking brake.
►
 
Follow the safety instructions (hazard 
warning lamps, warning triangle, wearing high 
visibility vest, etc.) according to the legislation in 
force in the country where you are driving.
► Switch off the ignition.► Turn the selector A to the "Repair" 
position.
►
 
Check that switch 
 B is in position " O".
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which 
have penetrated the tyre.
 
 
► Uncoil the white pipe  G  fully.
►  Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.
►
 
Connect the white pipe to the valve of the 
tyre to be repaired.
►
 
Connect the compressor's electrical plug to 
the vehicle's 12 V socket.
► Affix the speed li mit sticker. 
The speed limit sticker must be secured 
to the interior of the vehicle in the driver's 
field of vision, to remind you that a wheel is in 
temporary use.
► Start the vehicle and leave the engine 
running.
Do not start the compressor before 
connecting the white pipe to the tyre 
valve: the sealant product would be expelled 
through the pipe.
►
 
Switch on the compressor by moving switch 
B
 to position I until the tyre pressure reaches 
2.0 bars. The sealant product is injected under 
pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect the 
pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of 
blowback).
If after approximately seven minutes this 
pressure is not reached, this indicates 
that the tyre is not repairable; contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for 
assistance.
►
 
Remove the kit and screw the cap back on 
the white pipe. 
Take care to avoid contaminating 
the vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to 
hand.
Take care, the sealant product is harmful  if swallowed and causes irritation to the 
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the 
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle in 
standard waste, take it to a PEUGEOT dealer 
or an authorised waste disposal site.    

206
In the event of a breakdown
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of 
sealant, available from a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
 
 
► Drive immediately for approximately three 
miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed 
(between 12 and 37
  mph (20 and 60   km/h)), to 
plug the puncture.
►
 
Stop to check the repair and  measure the 
tyre pressure  using the kit.
Inflating, adjusting and 
checking tyre pressures
 
 
► Turn selector A to the "Inflation" 
position.
►
 
Uncoil the white pipe  G
 fully.
►
 
Connect the white pipe to the valve on the 
repaired tyre.
►
 
Reconnect the compressor's electric plug to 
the vehicle's 12
  V socket.
►
 
Start the vehicle and leave the engine 
running.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible.
You must tell the technician that the kit has 
been used. After inspection, the technician 
will advise you on whether the tyre can be 
repaired or if it must be replaced.
►
 
Adjust the tyre pressure using the 
compressor (to inflate: set switch 
B to position 
"I"; to deflate: set switch B to position "O" and 
press button C), according to the vehicle's tyre 
pressure label located by the driver's door.
A subsequent loss of pressure indicates that 
the puncture has not been fully sealed; contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to 
have your vehicle repaired.
►
 
Remove the kit and stow it.
► Drive at reduced speed (50 mph 
(80   km/h) max.), limiting the distance 
travelled to approximately 125 miles 
(200
  km).
The compressor can also be used, without injecting sealant, to check and 
adjust the tyre pressures.
If after approximately 7 minutes the 
required pressure is not reached, this 
indicates that the tyre is irreparably damaged; 
contact a PEUGEOT
 dealer or a qualified 
workshop for assistance.
Do not drive more than 125 miles (200 
km) with a repaired tyre; see a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to 
have the tyre changed.
