Practical information
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, 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 CITROËN 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 CITROËN 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.
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.

In the event of a breakdown
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.
