YOUR 807 IN DETAIL135
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
rearfacing child seat on the front
passenger seat. 
With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF" position, then
remove the key keeping the slot
in this position.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout the
disarming process. 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
(switch in the "OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs 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 an indi
cator light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message on the multi–func
tion display.
If this indicator light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and the message "Air bag fault" on
the multi–function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys
tem checked.
* According to destination. If
the two "Air bag fault" and "Passenger air bag disarmed" warning
lights come on permanently, do not install a rearward facing child seat
and consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION139
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).
Checking is carried out with the
vehicle level, engine cold, using
the oil level gauge on the check
module or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A= maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliabil
ity 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".
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 require
ments.
Brake and clutch fluid level:
The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
If the level drops substantially, con tact a PEUGEOT dealer immedi
ately.
Fluid change:
must be carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule
use fluids approved by the manu facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan
dards.
WARNING: brake and clutch fluid is
harmful to health and very corrosive.
Coolant level
Use fluid recommended by the man
ufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition off and
because the cooling system is pres
surised, 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
fluid 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 reservoir
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
products approved by PEUGEOT
(reservoir capacity 4.5 litres or
6.5 litres with headlamp wash).
Measure the fluid level using the dip
stick incorporated in the reservoir
cap.
Close the air hole on the cap and
remove it, then check the level.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
140
Only use products
approved by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor
mance from components
as important as the
power steering and the braking
system,
PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specific products.
CHECK ...
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter and pollen filter
Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty con
ditions, change them twice as
often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the
style of driving, in particular for vehi
cles which are used in town, over
short distances .
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services. Have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Fuel supply cutoff
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
The flashing of this warning
light is accompanied by the
message "Fuel circuit dis
armed" on the multi–func
tion display.
To reestablish the fuel supply :  switch off the ignition.
 remove the key.
 check that there is no odour or
leakage of fuel outside the vehi
cle.
 put the key back in the ignition
 switch on the ignition and start.
Manual gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Check the level, according to the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Automatic gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer in accordance
with the manufacturer's service
schedule.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor
dance with the service schedule.

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 tyre
When the message "Tyres deflat
ed" appears on the multi–function
display, accompanied by an audible
signal, have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
The message 'Punctured tyre(s)'
appears on the multi–function dis
play, accompanied by an audible sig
nal and 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 possi
ble.
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
When the message
"X tyre pres
sure sensor(s) missing" appears
on the multi–function display,
accompanied by an audible signal,
this 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.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
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 a driving aid
which does not take the place
of vigilance or the responsibili
ty of the driver.
This system does not remove the
need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (including the
spare wheel), to ensure that the
dynamic performance of the vehi
cle remains at its best and to
avoid premature wear of the tyres,
in particular in the case of arduous
driving (heavy load, high speed).
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on
a frequency close to it.

CHANGING A BULB
Front lights
Note:
handle the bulbs with a dry cloth.
1 Dipped beam headlamps: H755W or xenon bulb.
2 Main beam headlamps: H755W or xenon bulb.
3 Fog lamps: H155W.
Note : make access on the righthand side easier by remo
ving the fuse box cover.
Turn the protective cover corresponding to the faul
ty bulb a quarter of a turn and remove it.
 Disconnect the connector.
 Press the end of the securing clip to free it. Change
the bulb. When fitting the new bulb, ensure that the
direction notches are positioned correctly and the
securing clip is fixed properly.
 Reconnect the connector.
 Refit the protective cover, then turn it a quarter of a
turn to the right. The headlamps are fitted with polycarbonate glass with a
protective coating.
Do not clean them with a dry or abra
sive cloth, nor with a detergent or solvent product. Use
a sponge and soapy water.
4 Side lights: W 5 W.
 Push the light from the inside towards the outside of
the bumper.
 Pull the light forwards.
 Turn the bulb holder a quarter turn to the left and
remove it.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOT tow
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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 trail
er, observing the recommended
pressure.
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.
