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.

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.

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.

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.
