READY TO SET OFF
Automatic changing of the four or
six gears .
Moving off
- It is essential to press the brake pedal to exit
position P,
- select position R or D ,
You can also move off from position N .
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake
pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
- With your foot on the brake, release
the handbrake,
- select position R , D or M ,
- gradually release the pressure on the brake
pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately. The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the following
parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the road profi le,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on
your part. For immediate maximum
acceleration without touching the
gear lever, press the accelerator
pedal down as far as it will go to the
end of its travel passing the point of
resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will
automatically change down or maintain
the gear selected until maximum
engine speed is reached.
With the engine running, to move off
from position
P .
Automatic mode On a descent, the gearbox will
automatically change down in order to
provide effi cient engine braking and
good re-acceleration.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change
to a higher gear for reasons of safety.
6-speed gearbox (Diesel engine):
when stationary with the gear lever in
position
D (drive), a vibration limiting
device is activated by pressing the
brake pedal.
- Select position D .

- press the lever to the + sign
to change to a higher gear,
from 1 to 4 or from 1 to 6,
- conversely, press the lever to the - sign to
change to a lower gear. You can change from position
D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.
Stopping the vehicle, starting
the engine
Reverse gear
- Select position R , with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.
If the battery is fl at and the lever is
in position P , it will be impossible
to change to another position. - Select position
P to

immobilise the vehicle or
to start the engine , with
the handbrake on or off.
- You can also select position N to park or to

start the engine , with the
handbrake on.
If position N is engaged
inadvertently while driving, allow
the engine to return to idle before
engaging position D to accelerate.
Manual mode
Manual changing of the gears by
pressing.
- Select lever position M , In manual mode, 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 1.
The
 (snow) programme does not
operate in manual mode.

READY TO SET OFF
Good practice
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.
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 .
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
the message
"Automatic gear fault"
on the display and fl ashing of the Snow
snowfl ake 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.
You can return to the automatic
programme at any time.
- Press button
 again to switch off
the programme you are in.
Snow programme
In addition to the automatic
programme, there is a special
Snow programme.
This improves starting
and drive when traction is poor. The
snowfl ake appears on the instrument
panel display.
- Press button
 once the
vehicle has been started
and position D selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving
on slippery roads.

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
To resume use of the limiter, simply
reduce the pressure on the accelerator
pedal gradually and return to a speed
below that programmed.
If the vehicle is fi tted with a speed lim-
iter and cruise control (according to the
country in which the vehicle is sold and
the engine), these functions cannot be
activated at the same time .

The operating actions can be carried
out when stationary, with the engine
running, or with the vehicle moving. Function selected,
displaying of the
"Speed Limiter"
symbol.
Function deactivated,
last programmed
speed - OFF
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Function activated
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(example at 70 mph
(118 km/h)), the
programmed speed is
displayed fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected, OFF -
the dashes fl ash.
This speed limiter shows the function
selection status on the instrument
panel and displays the programmed
speed:
"This is the selected speed which the
driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the
vehicle moving. The minimum speed
which can be programmed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds
to the pressure of the driver's foot as
far as the accelerator pedal point of
resistance which indicates that the
programmed speed has been reached.
However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the fl oor
permits exceeding of the programmed
speed.

The traffi c announcement (TA) is displayed. I do not receive any traffi c information.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c information. The radio station is not part of the regional traffi c information network.
QUESTION SOLUTION RESPONSE
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used b y the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area th rough which the vehicle is travelling.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, baseme nt car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for exam ple when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode.
During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipme nt operating time depends on the battery charge. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...)
An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the stations are stored.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.

Improved safety and security
IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY
In the event of a front impact, the
retractable steering column limits the
backwards movement of the steering
wheel and the risks of intrusion of the
engine and gearbox into the passenger
compartment are reduced.
In the event of a side impact, you are
inside a cell armed with solid side
strengtheners.
With 5 stars in
the Euro NCAP
ADULT OCCUPANT
PROTECTION tests,
the 807 protects you
in several ways. Its
structure absorbs
a large proportion of the energy
connected with impacts.
Tests carried out on an 807 fi tted with
the 2.0 HDi engine.

Details of the other components are
given in the content of this chapter.
