YOUR 607 IN DETAIL
125
The ESP system offers
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high
speed.
The correct functioning of this sys
tem depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components, as well as
the PEUGEOT assembly and opera
tion procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Disarming the ASR/ESP
systems
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground...), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR system,
so that the wheels can move freely
and regain grip.
Press the 'ESP OFF'
switch, located under the
steering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and the message
'ASR/ESP system deacti
vated' on the multi–function
display : the ASR and ESP systems
no longer have any effect on the
engine operation.
These are triggered again :
 automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switch
again.DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) AND
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
These systems are linked and com
plementary to the ABS system.
In the event of a significant variation
between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP system acts automatically
on the engine and on the brake of
one or more wheels, to put the vehi
cle back on course. The traction con
trol (ASR) system optimises drive, in
order to avoid the wheels slipping, by
acting on the brakes of the drive
wheels and on the engine. It also
enables the directional stability of the
vehicle to be improved during accel
eration.
Operation of the ESP
and ASR systems
When one of the two sys
tems is in operation, this
indicator light flashes.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. Maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1000 km).
Carry out this check with the
vehicle level, engine cold, using
the oil level gauge on the instru
ment panel or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A= maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliabi
lity of engines and
emission control sys
tems, the use of addi
tives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
'PEUGEOT SERVICING'.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION 137

T
OWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOTtow
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOTdealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
loads are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electronically con
trolled, its cooling capacity is not
dependent on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed, and reduce
your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum
load up a steep slope in high tem
peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows the
engine power to be recovered, and
therefore the towing speed to be sig
nificantly increased (approximately
12mph [20 km/h] more).
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos
sible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres
sure.
Brakes: towing increases the brak
ing distance. Drive at a moderate
speed, change down early and brake
gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users (see section
on ''Manual adjustment of head
lamps''). Check the electrical sig
nalling of the trailer.
Automatic beam correction
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this
system automatically corrects the
height of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is then
assured of having optimum lighting
and not causing a nuisance to other
road users.
In cases of malfunction, the driver is
alerted by means of the warning light
on the instrument panel.
In this situation the system adjusts
your headlamps to the low position.
