Notes
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.
Programmes S(sport) and
(snow) do not
operate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is
shown by illumination of this warn
ing light, accompanied by an audi
ble signal and the message 'Auto
matic gearbox faulty' on the
multifunction display.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You
may feel a substantial knock when selecting
reverse from Pto Rand from Nto R(this will
not cause any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible.
If the battery is flat and the
lever is in position P, it will
be impossible to change
to another position.

The gearbox is then operating in auto
adaptive mode, without any action on
your part.
WARNING

Operating check
When a malfunction of the sys
tems occurs, the switch light
flashes and the warning light
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes
sage 'ESP/ASR system faulty' on the
multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOTdealer to have the
system checked.
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.

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occu
pants in the event of serious colli
sions; they work in conjunction with
the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering threshold
is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu
pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. The
seriousness of the collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of impact.
Air bags operate only when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. 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 air bag is
disarmed.
Front air bag malfunction
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message
"Air bag fault" on the
multifunction display , con
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. Disarming the passenger air
bag*
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat.
With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming slot
1, turn it to
the "OFF" position, then remove
it keeping the slot in this position.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the disarming process.
* According to destination

In the "OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is
removed, turn the air bag slot to the" ON " position to reactivate the air
bag and thus ensure the safety of
your passenger in the event of an
impact.
Operating check
This is confirmed by an indicator
light, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multi–function display.
With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this
warning light accompanied
by an audible signal and the
message "Passenger air
bag disarmed" on the multifunction
display, indicates that the passenger
air bag is disarmed (slot in the
"OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated
into the frame of the front seat back,
on the door side.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
into the door pillars and the upper
part of the passenger compartment.
They are deployed independently of
each other depending on which side
the collision occurs.
Operating check
This is confirmed by a light on the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multi–function display.
If this indicator light comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes
sage 'Air bag(s) faulty' ,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

TYRE UNDERINFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure
during driving, and trigger a warning
in the event of malfunction (speed
greater than 15mph [25 km/h]).
Flat tyreWhen this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and the
message 'Tyre pressure
low' on the multifunction
display, have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accom
panied by an audible signal
and the message 'Punc
tured tyre(s) detected' on
the multifunction display, is
followed by illumination of the
'STOP' warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very deflated) tyre, and have the tyre
presure checked as soon as possible.
Note: if the damaged tyre is tem
porarily stored in the boot, it will
again emit this message to remind
you of the necessity of having it
repaired. This will prevent another
warning of the same type being dis
played. Sensor(s) not detected
This warning light, accom
panied by an audible signal
and the message ' X tyre
pressure sensor(s) miss
ing ' on the multifunction
display, indicates that underinflation
detection is absent from one (or sev
eral) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
replace the faulty sensor(s).
Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away from
the vehicle (being repaired) or when
a wheel without a sensor is fitted.
LES INFORMATIONS PRATIQUES
All repairs and changing
of tyres on a wheel fitted
with this system must be
carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre underinflation detec
tion system is an aid to driving
which does not replace the
need for the driver to be vigilant
or to drive responsibly.
This system does not remove the
necessity for having the tyre pres
sure (including that of the spare
wheel) checked regularly, to
ensure optimum dynamic perfor
mance of the vehicle and to pre
vent premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in the case of arduous
driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on
a frequency close to it.
