Peugeot 2008: Safety / General safety recommendations
Do not remove the labels
attached in different places on your vehicle. They include safety warnings as
well as identification information for the vehicle.
For all work on your
vehicle, use a qualified workshop that has the technical information, skills and
equipment required, all of which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Depending on country
regulations, certain safety equipment may be mandatory: high visibility safety
vests, warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs, spare fuses, fire
extinguisher, first aid kit, mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical
accessories:
- The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories not approved by
PEUGEOT may cause excessive current consumption and faults and failures with
the electrical system of your vehicle. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer for
information on the range of approved accessories.
- As a safety measure, access to the diagnostic socket, used for the
vehicle's electronic systems, is reserved strictly for PEUGEOT dealers or
qualified workshops, equipped with the special tools required (risk of
malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic systems that could cause breakdowns
or serious accidents). The Manufacturer cannot be held responsible if this
advice is not followed.
- Any modification or adaptation not intended or authorised by
PEUGEOT or carried out without meeting the technical requirements defined by
the Manufacturer will result in the suspension of the commercial warranty.
