YOUR 807 AT A GLANCE14REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
This system, installed in the rear
bumper, detects any obstacle
(person, vehicle, tree, barrier,
kerb, ...) behind the vehicle.
Switching on
With the engine running, the sys
tem is activated when reverse
gear is engaged. A bleep indi
cates that it is active.
The proximity information is
given by an audible signal, con
sisting of bleeps which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obsta
cle is less than approximately
twentyfive centimetres, the audi
ble signal becomes continuous. ➜When you change to
neutral, the system
becomes inactive
again. TYRE UNDERINFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the pressure of
the tyres while driving and trigger
a warning in the event of a mal
function (speed above 15 mph
[25 km/h]).
Tyre(s) underinflated
When this message appears on
the multi–function display, accom
panied by an audible signal, have
the pressure of the tyres checked
as soon as possible.
Tyre(s) punctured
The appearance of this message,
accompanied by an audible sig
nal, is followed by illumination of
the
STOP warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any
sharp action on the steering
wheel or the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured
or significantly underinflated)
wheel and have the pressure of
the tyres checked as soon as
possible.
Note: if the damaged wheel is
stored in the boot temporarily, it
will transmit this message again
as a reminder that it must be
repaired, which will prevent
another warning of the same type
being displayed.
The spare wheel does not have a
sensor. X type pressure sensor(s)
missing
The appearance of this message,
accompanied by an audible
warning, indicates that one wheel
(or more) is no longer detected.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the faulty sensor(s)
replaced.
Warning:
this message is also
displayed when one of the
wheels is removed from the vehi
cle (for repair) or when a wheel is
fitted which is not equipped with
a sensor (winter tyres).
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the pressure
of the tyres checked regularly.

18-11-2002

The ESP system offers
increased safety during
normal driving, but should
not incite the driver to
take risks or to drive at
high speed.
The operation of the system is
ensured to the extent to which the
recommendations of the manufac
turer regarding the wheels (tyres
and wheel rims), the braking
components, the electronic com
ponents and the assembly and
repair procedures within the
PEUGEOT network are observed.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When one of these two sys
tems is operating, this light
flashes.
YOUR 807 IN DETAIL 129
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. 
Press switch "1", situated under
the steering wheel on the right of
the fascia.
The indicator light comes
on, accompanied by the
message "ESP/ASR dis
armed" : the ESP and ASR
systems no longer act on
the engine operation but remain
active on the brakes.
They engage again:  automatically above 20 mph
(30 km/h),
 manually by pressing switch
1 again. 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
operational" on the multifunction dis
play.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and com
plement 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 direc
tional stability of the vehicle to be
improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra
jectory 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.

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 sta
tionary with the engine idling.
* According to engine. 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 forcelimiting seat belts. The
electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle : if the triggering thresh
old 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 exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of collisions which are not seri
ous, for which the seat belt is suffi
cient to ensure maximum protection.
The seriousness of a collision
depends on the nature of the obsta
cle 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. 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 passen
ger air bag is disarmed.
Front air bag fault
If this warning light comeson, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes
sage "Air bag fault" on the
multi–function display, con
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.

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.

BATTERY
To charge the battery using a battery charger:– Disconnect the battery,
– Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger man ufacturer,
– Reconnect starting with the negative (–) terminal,
– Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit), disconnect them and clean them.
To start the vehicle from another battery: – Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the tw o batteries,
– Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negat ive (–) terminal of the
slave battery,
– Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an e arth point on the bro
ken down vehicle as far as possible from the battery,
Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect th e cables.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is not to be used for
a period of more than one month.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION 153
Before disconnecting
the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after
switching off the igni
tion.
Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and sun roofs before disconnecting the
battery. If they do not operate
normally following reconnection
of the battery, they must be rein
tialised (see sections "Electric
windows Safety autoreverse"
and "Sunroofs Safety auto
reverse".
After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition
and wait 1 minute before start
ing to allow the electronic sys
tems to be initialised. If slight
difficulties are experienced after
this, please contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

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.
