the “hands-free” function (Hands-Free  
Access).  
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 paint  
(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect  
secretions, pollen and tar).  
If justified by the environment, clean the  
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits (in  
coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas) and  
mud (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.

the controls located on the centre console. Be

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.  
Use a high-flow hose (temperature  
between 25°C and 40°C).  
Place the jet of water perpendicular to the  
surface to be cleaned.  
Bodywork  
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.  
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.  
High-gloss paint  
Leather  
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!  
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.  
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.  
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to  
plastic or rubber parts.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Textured paint  
Decals  
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.  
(Depending on version)  
Do not use a high-pressure washer to  
clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or  
detaching the decals!
