ignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as quickly a s possible.
If the central STOP warning light comes on when you are d riving, stop immediately where it is safe to do so.
Central STOP warning light
This is linked to the "engine oil pressure", "coolant level low " and "brake fluid level" warning lights and the coolant
temperature gauge and puncture warnings, indicated by a message on the multifunction display.
It comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
Stop immediately .
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light
This is linked to the central STOPwarning light.
If it comes on with the engine running, it is accompanied b y an audible signal and the message "Oil pressure low"
or "Top up engine oil" on the multifunction display.
Stop immediately .
In the case of a lack of oil in the lubricating circuit, top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without delay.
Low coolant level warning light
This is linked to the central STOPwarning light.
It comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
Illumination of this warning light, with the engine run ning, is accompanied by an audible signal and the message
"Top up coolant" on the multifunction display.

It comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
This warning light is accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction display indicating the
cause of the warning:
– "Handbrake on" , if the handbrake is on or not released correctly while driving ,
– "Brake fluid low" in the event of an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the warning light remains lit even with the
handbrake released),
– "Braking fault" , displayed at the same time as the ABS warning light, indicat ing an electronic brake force distribution
system fault.

When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOPwarning light,
accompanied by a buzzer
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.
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.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and the message
"ABS fault" , it indicates
that there is a malfunction
of the ABS, which can cause a loss
of control of the vehicle when brak
ing.

To return to normal operation, pull
the lever upwards until a click is
heard.Illumination of this light,
accompanied by an audible
signal and the message
"handbrake on" on the
multi–function display, indi
cates that the handbrake is still on or
has not been properly released.
HANDBRAKE
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilize your vehicle.
Warning : when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pave
ment and pull the handbrake.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the but
ton to release the handbrake.
Disengaging
Apply the handbrake.
Pull the button located at the end of
the handbrake forwards.
The handbrake lever lowers.
You can now pivot the seat. 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. 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.

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.

CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables the vehicle to
maintain a steady speed pro
grammed by the driver, regardless of
the road characteristics and without
the driver having to touch the accel
erator or brake pedals.
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and
fourth or fifth gear must be engaged.
Operation Place knob 1 in the ON
position.
A speed can be memorised.
Illumination of this indicator light indi
cates that the cruise control is on.  Place knob 1 in the OFF position
to cancel. Memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button
2or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically.
Note: It ispossible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the
cruise control.
Cancelling the memorised speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised
speed:  Press button 4or the brake or
clutch pedal.
The warning light goes out to indi
cate that the cruise control is dis
armed.
Recalling the memorised speed
After cancellation, press button 2 or
3 . Your vehicle will return to the last
memorised speed.
Illumination of the indicator light
indicates that the cruise control is
operating again.
Do not use cruise control
on slippery roads or in
heavy traffic.
