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!
