YOUR 807 AT A GLANCE14REAR PARKING
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.
