Practical information  
Keyless Entry and Start  
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).

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.  
Interior  
When washing the vehicle, never use a  
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean  
the interior.  
A message is displayed on the  
instrument panel to confirm the unlocking  
of the wheels for 15 minutes.  
In Wash mode, a message may appear on  
the instrument panel to indicate that the audio  
system cannot be updated.  
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!  
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).
