chains

For more information on snow chains, contact a 

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Installation tips 

►  To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop 

the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the 

road.

►  Apply the parking brake and position any 

wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent 

movement of the vehicle.

►  Fit the snow chains following the instructions 

provided by the manufacturer.

►  Move off gently and drive for a few moments, 

without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).

►  Stop the vehicle and check that the snow 

chains are correctly tightened.

It is strongly recommended that you 

practise fitting the snow chains on a level 

and dry surface before setting off.

Avoid driving with snow chains on roads 

that have been cleared of snow to avoid 

damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road 

surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy 

wheels, check that no part of the chain or its 

fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

The use of snow chains is only 

authorised on the 

front wheels

.

The driving mode selector must be on the 

4WD

 position (depending on version).

Very cold climate screen

(Depending on country of sale)

This removable device prevents the 

accumulation of snow around the radiator 

cooling fan.

It consists of two elements to be attached to the 

front bumper.

 

 

In case of difficulty with installation/

removal

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 

workshop.

Before any operation, ensure that the 

engine is off and the cooling fan has 

stopped.

It is essential to remove them when:

–  the outside temperature exceeds 

10°C.

–  recovery is in progress.

–  the speed is above 75 mph (120 km/h).

Fitting

 

 

►  Hold the corresponding screen in front of the 

lower grille of the bumper.

►  First insert the upper and side fixing brackets 

into the bumper.

►  Tilt the screen downwards to engage the 

lower part of the screen into the bumper.

►  Check that the unit is firmly held by pressing 

around the edges.

Repeat these operations for the other screen.

Removing

 

 

►  Insert a finger into the notch in the upper part 

of the screen.

►  Pull towards you to unclip the unit.

Repeat these operations for the other screen.

Energy economy mode

This system manages the duration of use of 

certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient 

level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.

After switching off the engine and for a maximum 

cumulative period of around 30 minutes, you can 

continue to use functions such as the audio and 

telematics system, dipped beam headlamps or 

courtesy lamps.

Selecting the mode

A confirmation message is displayed when 

energy economy mode is entered, and the active 

functions are placed on standby.

If a telephone call is in progress at the 

time, it will be maintained for around 10 

minutes via the audio system’s hands-free 

system.

Exiting the mode

These functions are automatically reactivated the 

next time the vehicle is used.

To restore the use of these functions 

immediately, start the engine and let it run:

–  For less than 10 minutes, to use the 

equipment for approximately 5 minutes.

–  For more than 10 minutes, to use the 

equipment for approximately 30 minutes.

Let the engine run for the specified duration to 

ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.

To recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or 

continuously restarting the engine.

A flat battery prevents the engine from 

starting.

For more information on the 

12 V battery

refer to the corresponding section.

Load reduction mode

This system manages the use of certain 

functions according to the level of charge 

remaining in the battery.

When the vehicle is being driven, the load 

reduction function temporarily deactivates certain 

functions, such as the air conditioning and the 

heated rear screen.

The deactivated functions are reactivated 

automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Bonnet

Stop & Start / e-Auto mode

Before doing anything under the bonnet, 

you must switch off the ignition to avoid any 

risk of the engine restarting automatically.

Take care with objects or clothing that could 

be caught in the blades of the cooling fan 

or in certain moving components - risk of 

strangulation and serious injury!

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

Before any work is carried out under the 

bonnet, it is essential to switch off the ignition 

and disconnect the charging connector nozzle 

if it is connected, check that the 

READY

 

indicator lamp is off on the instrument panel 

and wait 4 minutes - risk of serious injury!

196

Practical information

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 and the bonnet stay 

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!

Opening

 

 

 

 

►  Open the left-hand front door.

►  Pull the interior release lever, located at the 

bottom of the door frame, towards you.

 

 

►  Lift the exterior safety catch and raise the 

bonnet.

 

 

►  Unclip the stay from its housing and place it 

in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.

Closing

►  Hold the bonnet and pull out the stay from

 the 

support slot.

►  Clip the stay in its housing.

►  Lower the bonnet and release it near the end 

of its travel.

►  Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked 

correctly.

Because of the presence of electrical 

equipment under the bonnet, it is strongly 

recommended that exposure to water (rain, 

washing, etc.) be limited.

Diesel fuel system

This system is under very high pressure.

All work must be carried out only by a 

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop

Checking levels

Check all of the following levels regularly in 

accordance with the Manufacturer's service 

schedule. Top them up if required, unless 

otherwise indicated.

If a level drops significantly, have the 

corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT 

dealer or a qualified workshop.

The fluids must comply with the 

Manufacturer's requirements and with 

the vehicle's engine.

Take care when working under the 

bonnet, as certain areas of the engine 

may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the 

cooling fan could start at any time (even with 

the ignition off).

Used products

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or 

fluids 

with the skin.

Most of these fluids are harmful to health and 

very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or fluids into 

sewers or onto the ground.

Empty used oil into the containers reserved 

for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Engine oil

The level is checked, with the engine 

having been 

switched off for at least 30 

minutes and on level ground, either using the oil 

level indicator in the instrument panel when the 

ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped 

with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.

It is normal to top up the oil level between two 

services (or oil changes). It is recommended 

that you check the level, and top up if necessary, 

every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

In order to maintain the reliability of the 

engine and emissions control system, 

never use additives in the engine oil.

Checking using the dipstick

For the location of the dipstick, please refer 

to the illustration of the corresponding engine 

compartment.

►  Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and 

pull it out completely.

►  Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, 

lint-free cloth.

 

 

►  Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, 

then pull it out again to visually check the oil 

level: the correct level is between marks 

A

 (max) 

and 

B (min).

Do not start the engine if the level is:

–  above mark 

A

: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 

a qualified workshop.

198

Practical information

–  below mark 

B

: top up the engine oil 

immediately.

Oil grade

Before topping up or changing the 

engine oil, check that the oil is suitable 

for your engine and complies with the 

recommendations in the service schedule 

supplied with the vehicle (or available 

from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified 

workshop).

Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate 

your warranty in the event of engine failure.

Topping up the engine oil level

For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please 

refer to the corresponding engine compartment 

illustration.

Never remove the oil filler cap with the 

engine running. Risk of burns and 

splashes inside the engine compartment.

►  Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills 

on engine components (risk of fire).

►  Wait a few minutes before checking the level 

again using the dipstick.

►  Top up the level if necessary.

►  After checking the level, carefully screw the 

oil filler cap back on and push the dipstick back 

into its tube up to the stop.

The dipstick must be pushed completely 

in to prevent oil from spilling onto the 

engine. Risk of fire inside the engine 

compartment.

The oil level indication displayed on the 

instrument panel when the ignition is 

switched on is not valid for 30 minutes 

following an addition of oil. 

Brake fluid

The level of this fluid should be close to 

the "

MAX

" mark. If not, check the brake 

pads for wear.

To know how often the brake fluid should be 

replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing 

schedule.

Clean the cap before removing it to refill. 

Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed 

container.

Engine coolant

It is normal to top up this fluid between 

two services.

The check and top-up must only be done with 

the engine cold.

A level of coolant that is too low risks causing 

major damage to the engine; the coolant level 

must be close to the "

MAX

" mark without ever 

going above it.

If the level is close to or below the "

MIN

" mark, it 

is essential to top it up.

When the engine is hot, the temperature of the 

coolant is regulated by the fan.

As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at 

least one hour after switching off the engine 

before carrying out any work.

In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need 

to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around 

the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to 

allow the pressure to drop.

Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap 

and top up to the required level.

Screenwash fluid

Top up to the required level when 

necessary.

Capacity of the tank:

–  5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.

–  2.2 litres for other versions.

Fluid specification

The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed 

product.

In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid 

containing an anti-freeze agent which is 

appropriate for the temperature conditions 

must be used in order to protect the system's 

components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).

Filling with pure water is prohibited in all 

circumstances (risk of freezing, 

limescale, etc.).

Diesel fuel additive (Diesel 

with particle filter)

On reaching the minimum level in the 

particle filter additive tank, this warning 

lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an 

audible signal and a warning message.

Topping up

The topping up of this additive must be carried 

out quickly.

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 

workshop.

AdBlue

®

 (BlueHDi)

An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 

reached.

For more information on the 

Indicators

 and in 

particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to 

the corresponding section.

To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in 

accordance with regulations, you must top up the 

AdBlue tank.

For more information on 

AdBlue

®

 (BlueHDi)

and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to 

the corresponding section.

Checks

Unless otherwise indicated, check these 

components in accordance with the 

Manufacturer's service schedule and according 

to your engine.

Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT 

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Only use products recommended by 

PEUGEOT or products of equivalent 

quality and specification.

In order to optimise the operation of 

components as important as those in the 

braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers 

very specific products.

12 V battery

The battery does not require any 

maintenance.

Check regularly that the terminals are correctly 

tightened (versions without quick-release 

terminals) and that the connections are clean.

For more information on the precautions 

to take before any work on the 

12 V 

battery

, refer to the corresponding section.

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 

fitted with a 12 V 

lead-acid battery of 

specific technology and specification.

Its replacement should be carried out only by 

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Passenger compartment 

filter

Depending on the environment and the 

use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 

city driving), 

change it twice as often, if 

necessary

.

A clogged passenger compartment filter 

can adversely affect air conditioning 

system performance and generate 

undesirable odours.

Air filter

Depending on the environment and the 

use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 

city driving), 

change it twice as often, if 

necessary

.

Oil filter

Change the oil filter each time the engine 

oil is changed.

Particle filter (Diesel)

The start of clogging of the 

particle filter is 

indicated by the temporary lighting of this 

warning lamp, accompanied by an alert 

message.

As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate 

the filter by driving at a speed of at least 

37 mph (60 km/h), with an engine speed above 

2,500 rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the 

warning lamp goes out).

If it is not possible to reach 37 mph (60 km/h), 

leave the engine running at idle for about 15 

minutes, then drive with an engine speed above 

2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.

200

Practical information

Do not switch off the engine until the filter 

is fully regenerated; repeated intervals 

can degrade the engine oil prematurely.

Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is 

stationary is not recommended.

Following prolonged operation of the 

vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you 

may, in exceptional circumstances, notice 

water vapour coming from the exhaust while 

accelerating. These emissions have no 

impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the 

environment.

New vehicle

During the first few particle filter 

regeneration operations, you may notice a 

"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.

Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any 

maintenance (no oil change).

Automatic gearbox

 / 

The gearbox does not require 

any maintenance (no oil 

change).

Electric parking brake

This system does not require any routine 

servicing. However, in the event of a 

problem, do not hesitate to have the system 

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 

workshop.

For more information on the 

Electric 

parking brake

, refer to the 

corresponding section.

Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the style of 

driving, particularly in the case of vehicles 

used in town, over short distances. It may be 

necessary to have the condition of the brakes 

checked, even between vehicle services.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the 

brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 

are worn.

After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in 

wintry conditions, ice can form on the 

brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may 

be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and 

defrost them.

Brake disc wear

For information on checking brake disc 

wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Wheels and tyres

The inflation pressure of all tyres, 

including the spare wheel, must be 

checked on "cold” tyres.

The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure 

label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven 

for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles 

(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add 

0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the 

label.

Under-inflation increases energy 

consumption. Non-compliant tyre 

pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely 

and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's 

road holding - risk of accident!

Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the 

braking and road holding performance of the 

vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the 

tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as 

the presence of the valve caps.

When the wear indicators no longer appear set 

back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is 

less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as 

possible.

Using different size wheels and tyres from those 

specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel 

rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer 

reading and have an adverse effect on road 

holding.

Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 

can cause the ESC to mistime.

201

Practical information

7

Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres 

that will be stored when fitting winter or summer 

tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away 

from direct exposure to the sun's rays.

Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be 

identified by this symbol on their 

sidewalls.

Shock absorbers

It is not easy for drivers to detect when 

shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless, 

the shock absorbers have a major impact on 

road holding and braking performance.

For your safety and driving comfort, it is 

important to have them regularly checked by a 

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Timing and accessory kits

The timing and accessory kits are used 

from the time the engine is started until it 

is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over 

time.

A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage 

the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the 

recommended replacement frequency, stated in 

distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is 

reached first.

AdBlue

®

 (BlueHDi)

To respect the environment and ensure 

compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 

adversely affecting the performance or fuel 

consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT 

has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with 

a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic 

Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for 

the treatment of exhaust gases.

SCR system

Using a liquid called AdBlue

®

 that contains 

urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of 

the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and 

water, which are harmless to health and the 

environment.

The AdBlue

®

 is contained in 

a special 

tank

 holding about 17 litres. 

Its capacity allows a driving range of 

approximately 4,000 miles (6,500 km), 

which 

may vary considerably

 depending on your 

driving style.

An alert system is triggered once the reserve 

level is reached: it is then possible to drive for a 

further 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the tank is 

empty and the vehicle is immobilised.

For more information on the 

Warning 

and indicator lamps

 and the associated 

alerts, or the 

Indicators

, please refer to the 

corresponding sections.

Once the AdBlue

®

 tank is empty, a device 

required by law prevents the engine from 

being restarted.

If the SCR system is faulty, the level of 

emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet 

the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts 

polluting the environment.

In the event of a confirmed SCR system 

malfunction, it is essential to visit a 

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. 

After 685 miles (1,100 km), a device is 

automatically activated to prevent the engine 

from starting.

In both cases, a range indicator indicates 

the distance that can be travelled before the 

vehicle is stopped.

Freezing of the AdBlue

®

AdBlue

®

 freezes at temperatures below 

around -11°C.

The SCR system includes a heater for the 

AdBlue

®

 tank, allowing you to continue driving 

in very cold conditions.

Supply of AdBlue

®

It is recommended that the AdBlue

®

 be topped 

up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating 

that the reserve level has been reached.

For the correct operation of the SCR 

system:

–  Use only AdBlue

®

 fluid that meets the ISO 

22241 standard.

–  Never transfer AdBlue

®

 to another container 

as it would lose its purity.

–  Never dilute AdBlue

®

 with water.

202

Practical information

You can obtain AdBlue

®

 from a PEUGEOT 

dealer or a qualified workshop, as well as service 

stations equipped with AdBlue

®

 pumps specially 

designed for passenger vehicles.

Recommendations on storage

AdBlue

®

 freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates 

above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a 

cool area and protected from direct sunlight.

Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for 

at least a year.

If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has 

completely thawed out at room temperature.

Never store AdBlue

®

 containers in your 

vehicle.

Precautions for use

AdBlue

®

 is a urea-based solution. This 

fluid is 

non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when 

kept in a cool place).

In the event of contact with the skin, wash the 

affected area with soap and running water. In the 

event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse 

the eyes with large amounts of water or with an 

eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek 

medical attention if you feel a persistent burning 

sensation or irritation.

If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth 

with clean water and then drink plenty of water.

In certain conditions (high temperature, for 

example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot 

be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia 

vapours have an irritant effect on mucous 

membranes (eyes, nose and throat).

Store AdBlue

®

 out of the reach of 

children, in its original container.

Procedure

Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that 

the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.

In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature 

of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the 

AdBlue

®

 may be frozen and so cannot be poured 

into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area 

for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried 

out.

Never pour the AdBlue

®

 into the Diesel 

fuel tank.

If any AdBlue

®

 is splashed, or if there are 

any spillages on the bodywork, rinse 

immediately with cold water or wipe with a 

damp cloth.

If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a 

sponge and hot water.

Important: 

in the event of a top-up after 

an AdBlue

 breakdown, you must wait 

about 5 minutes before switching on the 

ignition, 

without opening the driver's door, 

unlocking the vehicle or bringing the 

electronic key into the passenger 

compartment.

Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 

seconds before starting the engine.

►  Press the "

START/STOP

" button to switch off 

the engine.

 

 

►  Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue

®

 tank anti-

clockwise and remove it.

►  With a container of AdBlue

®

: after checking 

the expiry date, read the instructions on the 

label carefully before pouring the contents of the 

container into the vehicle's AdBlue

®

 tank.

203

Practical information

►  With an AdBlue

®

 pump: insert the nozzle and 

fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts 

out.

In order not to overfill the AdBlue

®

 tank:

–  Add between 10 and 13 litres using 

AdBlue

®

 containers.

–  Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-

out, if you are refilling at a service station.

The system only registers AdBlue

®

 

intermediate top-ups of 5 litres or more.

If the AdBlue

®

 tank is completely empty 

– which is confirmed by the message 

Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible

” – it is 

essential to add at least 10 litres.

Top-up detection may not be instantaneous 

after addition. It may take a few minutes of 

driving before the top-up detection is effective.

Free-wheeling

In certain situations, it is necessary to put the 

vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on 

a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode), 

rail or sea transport).

The procedure varies according to the type of 

gearbox and parking brake.

Never leave the vehicle unattended with 

the vehicle into free-wheeling mode.

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.

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.

206

Practical information

Product/Procedure to use depending 

on the type of stain:

–  Grease, oil and ink: clean with a pH-neutral 

detergent.

–  Vomit: clean with sparkling mineral water.

–  Blood: spread flour over the stain and allow 

to dry; remove with a slightly damp cloth.

–  Mud: allow to dry and then remove with a 

slightly damp cloth.

–  Cake, chocolate, ice cream: clean with 

lukewarm water.

–  Sugary and/or alcoholic drinks: clean with 

lukewarm water, or lemon juice if the stain is 

persistent.

–  Hair gel, coffee, tomato sauce, vinegar: 

clean with lukewarm water and lemon juice.

For solid substances, then use a soft brush or 

vacuum cleaner.

For liquid substances, then use a damp 

microfibre cloth and then dry with another 

cloth.

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.

218

In the event of a breakdown

Deactivate certain driving aid functions 

(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control, 

etc.).

Do not exceed the maximum authorised 

speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) or the maximum 

distance of 50 miles (80 km).

Driving with more than one spare wheel of 

this type is prohibited.

The wheel trim from the replaced wheel must 

not be refitted.

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 

workshop.

Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts 

and its tyre pressure checked.

Have the punctured tyre examined. After 

inspection, the technician will advise you on 

whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must 

be replaced.

Changing a bulb

In some weather conditions (e.g. low 

temperature or humidity), misting on the 

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps 

and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear 

after the lamps have been on for a few 

minutes.

The headlamps have polycarbonate 

lenses with a protective coating:

– 

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive 

cloth, nor with detergent or solvent 

products.

–  Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH 

neutral product.

–  When using a high-pressure washer on 

persistent marks, do not keep the lance 

directed towards the headlamps, lamps or 

their edges for too long, so as not to damage 

their protective coating and seals.

Changing a bulb must only be done with 

the ignition off and after the headlamp / 

lamp has been switched off for several 

minutes - risk of serious burns!

Do not touch the bulb directly with your 

fingers; use a lint-free cloth.

It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet 

(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the 

headlamp.

Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb 

of the same type and specification. To avoid 

lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.

Refitting the lamp units

Perform the operations in the reverse 

order to dismantling.

Light-emitting diode (LED) 

headlamps and lamps

Depending on version, the affected types of 

headlamps/lamps are:

–  LED technology headlamps.

–  Full LED technology headlamps.

–  Direction indicator side repeaters.

–  Side spotlamps.

–  Brake lamps.

–  LED technology rear lamps.
