warning Peugeot 607 Dag 2002 Owner's Guide

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system
enables the optimum braking pres
sure to be reached more quickly,
thus reducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered according to the speed
of activation of the brake pedal. The
effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.

ABS ANTILOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM
The ABS system with Electronic
Brake Force Distribution (EBFD)
increases the stability and manoevra
bility of your vehicle, particularly on
poor or slippery road surfaces.
Note:
when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The antilock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and the
message 'Braking fault' , it
indicates that there is a mal
function of the electronic brake force
distribution, which can cause a loss
of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Stop immediately.
Contact a Peugeot dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.
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.

ELECTRONICALLY
CONTROLLED SUSPENSION
T
he suspension adapts automatically
and instantly to different driving styles
and road characteristics, improving the
comfort of the occupants and the vehi
cle's road holding capabilities.
The suspension favours smooth shock
absorption, ensuring a comfortable ride,
but as soon as conditions demand a
change (sporty driving, tight bends,
avoidance action, etc.) it automatically
selects firmer shock absorption, guaran
teeing optimum road holding.
Selecting the SPORT position
 Press switch 1, the SPORT indi
cator light will come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this position, the suspen
sion is maintained in the
SPORT position.
To return to automatic
operation
 Press switch 1again. The indicator
light will go out and the
AUTO indicator light comes
on, accompanied by an audi
ble signal.
Operating check
This is confirmed by the switch light
and the indicator lights. The switch
light comes on for approximately three
seconds every time the ignition is
switched on.
If the switch light flashes or if the indi
cator light comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and the message
' Hydraulic suspension pressure
insufficient' , contact your PEUGEOT
dealer.
Handbrake
Locking
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.
Warning: when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pave
ment and pull on the handbrake.
Unlocking
Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.

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

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
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, contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme
diately.
Fluid change:
– must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing 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.
Used oil
Prevent used oil from coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake and
clutch fluid or coolant into drains or
onto the ground. Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engi
ne cold. 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 litres or 6.5
litres with headlamp wash).

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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION 143
CHANGING A BULB
Front lights
In the engine compartment, remove the style cover secured
by one or two butterfly screws, a plastic retainer clip and
two screws.
Note:
handle the bulbs with a dry cloth.
1 Dipped beam headlamps: H755W or Xenon bulb.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Xenon bulbs must be replaced by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
2 Main beam headlamps: H155W.
 Turn the protective cover of the faulty bulb a quarter
of a turn and remove it.
 Disconnect the connector.
 PPress 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.

after the lights are switched on.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
154
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.
