Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a Peugeot
dealer.
ANTILOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the elec
tronic brake force distribution, increas
es the stability and manoevrability 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.

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. Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake system.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.
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.

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,
and a special speaker fitted in the
fascia.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, pavement etc.)
behind the vehicle.
Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
In wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with frost or
snow.
Deactivation  Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.
The proximity information is given by
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach
es the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than approximately twentyfive
centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.
Detection zone
If there is an operating
fault, the audible signal will
be a short bleep followed
by a long bleep when
changing to reverse gear.

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.
