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! CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
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.
Never select the programme with hot wax
finish.
Never use high-pressure lances equipped
with brushes - risk of scratching paint!
Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to
the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products
irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.
Choose high-pressure wash, or at least
high-flow water jet.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Only a clean microfibre cloth
is recommended
for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle
without rubbing.
Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the
bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.
Clean off minor marks (for example, finger
marks), using a maintenance product
recommended by PEUGEOT.
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 (temperature
between 25°C and 40°C).
Place the jet of water perpendicular to the
surface to be cleaned.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Textile
The dashboard, door panels and seats may
contain parts made of textile material.
Maintenance
Do not use aggressive cleaning products
(e.g. alcohol, solvent or ammonia).
Do not use steam-cleaning systems - risk of
affecting the adhesion of the fabrics!
Remove dust from the textile parts
regularly with a dry cloth, soft brush or
vacuum cleaner
.
Rub down the
textile parts once per year with
a clean, damp cloth. After leaving overnight to
dry, brush with a soft-bristled brush.
Stain removal
Do not rub the stain or it may spread or
you may cause the substance to
penetrate the surface.
Act quickly by reducing the stain from its edges inwards.
Remove as much substance or solids as
possible using a spoon or spatula, and
remove
as much liquid as possible using
absorbent paper. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

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 use maintenance products which
are not suitable for cleaning leather
(e.g.
solvent, detergent, petrol, pure alcohol).
Do not use bleaching or colour-removal
products (e.g.
perchloroethylene).
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 the leather, without rubbing too
vigorously, using a soft cloth moistened with
soapy water or a pH-neutral product.
Dry with a soft, dry cloth. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

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. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

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.

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. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
