2002 Peugeot 607 Dag brake

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.

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.

CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables the vehicle to
maintain a steady speed programmed
by the driver, regardless of the road
characteristics and without the driver
having to touch the accelerator or
brake pedals.
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
25 mph (40 km/h) or 40 mph (60
km/h), (according to engine).Operation
 Place the ring of switch 1in the ON
position. The indicator light
will come on accompanied
by an audible signal.
A speed can be memorised.
 Place the ring of switch 1 in the
OFF position to cancel.
Memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, push stalk 1upwards or
downwards. This memorises the
speed, which will be maintained
automatically.
Note : it is possible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the
cruise control.
Cancelling the memorised
speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised
speed :
 Pull stalk 1towards you or press
the brake or clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorised
speed
After cancellation, flick stalk
1 upwards or downwards. Your vehicle
will return to the last memorised speed.
Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than
the previous one:
 keep stalk 1pressed upwards;
 release it when you have reached
the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one :  keep stalk 1pressed downwards;
 release it when you have reached
the required speed.
Disarming the cruise control  place the ring in the OFFposition
or switch off the ignition.
Do not use cruise control
on slippery roads or in
heavy traffic.
