Peugeot 308: Recommendations/precautions : Vehicle cleaning and disinfection during the health crisis
ESSENTIAL : The information set out within this document lists a number of recommendations but is not exhaustive. These recommendations do not bind the PSA Group and are likely to change as the situation develops. This is an internal document that is not intended for distribution outside of our repair and distribution networks. Each company is responsible for implementing measures to protect its employees and ensure the continuation of its business.
1. COVID-19 specific information
COVID-19 can be spread by droplets or micro-droplets infected with the virus.
The virus can survive in liquid droplets or is directly active if you breathe in these liquid droplets. Strict rules must be applied to limit transmission of the virus through direct contact (human to human) and indirect contact (via interposed objects).
The barrier measures and sanitary precautions of the PSA Group are to be implemented systematically.
2. How to sanitise a vehicle
ESSENTIAL : Vehicles must be sanitised to minimise any risk, in the event that it is not possible to leave the vehicle unused or untouched for more than 3 hours.
2.1. General
Before any disinfection, employees must put on masks, gloves, protective goggles and disposable overalls (Polytec / Simtec) and avoid any contact with the face.
Various disinfection products exist : Be aware of the various parts or items in a car that are sensitive to solutions containing alcohol or bleach.
It is necessary to identify :
- Components made of composite materials (dashboard, door panels, screens/instrument panel, controls with screen printing etc.)
- Metal components
- Leather components (dashboard, door panels, steering wheel, seats etc.)
- Fabric components (dashboard, door panels, seats etc.)
- Glass components (windscreen, windows, interior mirror etc.)
In order to clean and sanitise a vehicle without risk of damaging the various parts, the disinfectant products recommended by the PSA Group should be used.
These products must be sprayed onto a microfibre (lint-free) cloth.
Glass parts can be cleaned and disinfected with conventional glass cleaner (70% alcohol).
For leather components, a soap and water spray solution should be used to prevent any damage to the leather.
At the employee’s discretion and depending on the vehicle’s condition, 3 cloths are required as a minimum, each in a different colour to identify the products used for each :
- Disinfectant
- Glass cleaner
- Soap and water solution
These single-use cloths are to be used for sanitising one vehicle only and should be discarded after each cleaning/sanitising procedure (or washed in the case of washable microfibre cloths).
Disconnect any electrical equipment that is connected to the vehicle.
The vehicle should be cleaned and sanitised with the ignition off (electrical architecture dormant).
