EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking efciency.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoevrability of your vehicle, particularly
on poor or slippery road surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and the message
"ABS fault", it indicates
that there is a malfunction of
the ABS, which can cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOP warning light, accompanied by a buzzer and the
message 'Braking fault', it
indicates that there is a malfunction
of the electronic brake force distribution, which can cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake system.
In emergency braking, press
very rmly without releasing
the pressure.

YOUR 807 IN DETAIL
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and complement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive
to prevent the wheels skidding, by
acting on the brakes of the drive
wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of
the vehicle to be improved on
acceleration.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
The warning light ashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.
Disarming the ESP/ASR systems
In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in
mud or snow, or on loose ground...),
it could prove useful to disarm the
ASR and ESP systems to make the
wheels spin and regain grip.
F Press switch "1", situated under
the steering wheel on the right of
the fascia.
They engage again:
F automatically above 20 mph
(30 km/h),
F manually by pressing switch 1
again.
The indicator light comes
on, accompanied by the
message "ESP/ASR deac-
tivated": the ESP and ASR
systems no longer act on the
engine operation but remain active
on the brakes.
Operating check
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator light comes on accompanied by an audible signal
and the message "ESP/ASR
not functioning" on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems offer
increased safety during normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of the systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding the
wheels (tyres and wheel rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures within the
PEUGEOT network are observed.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

than approximately twenty-ve centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Deactivation
In neutral, the system is again
inactive.
REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,
and a special speaker.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot detect obstacles located just below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre, but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
comes close to it.
Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is tted (vehicle tted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with

SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX
The four speed automatic gearbox
offers a choice between the comfort
of integral automatic operation, en-
hanced by a snow programme, or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
Gear selection gate
F Move the lever in the gate to se-
lect a position.
Once the position is selected, the
corresponding indicator light appears
on the instrument panel display.
T
: snow programme
P
ark: to immobilise the vehicle or
start the engine, with the handbrake
on or off.
R
everse: to reverse (select this
position with the vehicle stationary,
engine at idle).
N
eutral: to start the engine and to
park, with the handbrake on.
Note: if position N is engaged inad-
vertently while driving, allow the engine to return to idle before engaging
position D to accelerate.
D
rive: for driving in automatic
mode.
M
anual: for driving in manual
mode.
Moving off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P:
F it is essential to press the brake
pedal to exit position P,
F select position R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N:
F release the handbrake, with your
foot on the brake,
F select position R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
WARNING
When the engine is at idle, brakes
not applied, if position R, D or
M is selected the vehicle moves
even without the accelerator being
pressed.
For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside the
vehicle, with the engine running.
When maintenance operations need
to be carried out with the engine
running, apply the handbrake and
select position P.
If the battery is at and the
lever is in position P, it will
be impossible to change

Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears:
F select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the
most suitable gear according to the
following parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the road prole,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any
action on your part.
WARNING
Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.
Notes
For immediate maximum acceleration without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kick down). The gearbox will automatically change down
or maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox will
automatically change down in order
to provide efcient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accelerator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
Snow programme
In addition to the auto-adaptive
programme, there is a special programme.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
The Snow programme improves
starting and drive when traction is
poor.
F Press button T once the vehicle
has been started and position D
selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Note: you can return to the autoadaptive programme at any time.
F Press button T again to switch off
the programme you are in.
Manual operation
Manual changing of the four gears:
F select position M in the gate,
F push the lever to the + sign to
change to a higher gear,
F pull the lever to the - sign to
change to a lower gear.
You can change from position D
(driving in automatic mode) to position M (driving in manual mode) at
any time.
Note
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed
and engine speed permit. If they do
not, the vehicle will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
automatically selects gear M1.
The T (snow) programme does not
operate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied
by the message "Automatic gear
fault" on the multi-function display and
ashing of the Snow warning light on
the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear).
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P to R and from N to R
(this will not cause any damage to the
gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed
to maximise the safety of the occupants in the event of serious collisions. They work in conjunction
with the force-limiting seat belts.
The electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering threshold is reached, the air bags inate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occupants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in
the case of collisions which are not
serious, for which the seat belt is
sufcient to ensure maximum protection. The seriousness of a collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant.
MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse*
To change to reverse gear, lift the
ring under the gear lever knob and
push the gear lever to the left then to
the front.
Reverse gear can only be engaged
when the vehicle is stationary with
the engine idling.
FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passenger
air bag is disarmed.
Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an audi-
ble signal and the message
"Air bag fault" on the multifunction
display, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.
* According to engine.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes (maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Note: checking is carried out with
the vehicle level, engine cold, using
the oil level gauge on the instrument
panel or the dipstick.
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never ll past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note: Prevent used oil from coming
into prolonged contact with the skin.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Brake fluid level:
- The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
- If the level drops substantially,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer immediately.
Fluid change:
- must be carried out according to
the manufacturer's schedule.
- use uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which full DOT4
standards.
Note: brake uid is harmful to
health and very corrosive. Avoid any
contact with the skin.
Coolant level
Use uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is controlled by
the engine fan. As this fan can operate
with the ignition off and because the
cooling system is pressurised, wait for
at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.
Unscrew the cap two turns to allow
the pressure to drop to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note: The coolant does not need to
be changed.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
uid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground.
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MINI
mark and close to the MAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp*
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
products recommended by PEUGEOT.
Measure the uid level using the
dipstick incorporated in the reservoir
cap (vehicles tted with headlamp
wash).
Close the air hole on the cap and
remove it, then check the level.
* According to destination.
