2006 PEUGEOT 807 Owners Manual

Service indicator
Located in the instrument panel with
the total distance recorder (total and
trip distances), this programmes service
intervals according to the use of the vehicle.
Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation lights up; the display for
the total distance recorder tells you (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service.
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:the distance travelled.
 the time which has elapsed since the last
service. A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.
The distance remaining before the next
service is less than 500 miles/1 000 km.
Each time the ignition is switched on and
for a few seconds, the spanner flashes and
the number of miles/kilometres remaining is
displayed: A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains lit. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly.
The service is overdue*.
Each time the ignition is switched on and for
a few seconds, the spanner flashes and the
excess distance is displayed.
With the engine running the spanner
remains lit until the service has been
carried out.
* First of the two terms reached: the spanner also lights up if the two-year interval has
elapsed.
The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the driver ’s driving
habits.
Example: 4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition
is switched on and for a few seconds, the
display shows:

Zero re-set
Your PEUGEOT dealer carries out this
operation after each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows:Switch off the ignition,
 Press and hold the trip recorder re-set
button,
 Switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "= 0", release the
button; the spanner disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the engine
oil level is indicated for a few seconds, after
the service information. Oil level correct
Lack of oil
Flashing of
"OIL", linked
with the service warning
light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message on the display, indicates a lack of
oil which could damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up.
Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL --"
indicates a malfunction
of the engine oil level
gauge. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Dipstick
A
= maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil may
damage the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
without delay.
B = minimum, top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the type of
oil suited to your engine.
Trip recorder zero reset
button
With the ignition on, press the
button until the zeros appear.
Lighting rheostat
With the lights on, press the
button to vary the intensity of
the lighting of the instruments
and controls. When the lighting
reaches the minimum (or maximum) setting,
release the button then press it again to
increase (or reduce) the brightness.
As soon as the lighting is of the required
brightness, release the button. Instruments and controls

The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
15 minutes.
After this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait for at least five minutes, otherwise
the zero re-set will not be registered.

Gearboxes
The four-speed automatic gearbox offers
a choice between the comfort of integral
automatic operation , enhanced by a snow
programme, or the pleasure of manual gear
changing .

 Once the position is selected, the
corresponding indicator light appears on
the instrument panel display.

: snow programme
P ark: to immobilise the vehicle or start the
engine , with the handbrake on or off.
R everse: to reverse (select this position with
the vehicle stationary, engine at idle).
If position N is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle before engaging position D to
accelerate.
N eutral: to start the engine and to park,
with the handbrake on.
D rive: for driving in automatic mode.
M anual: for driving in manual mode.
If the battery is flat and the lever is

GEARBOXES

For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, press
the accelerator pedal down as far as it will
go to the end of its travel passing the point
of resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will
automatically change down or maintain the
gear selected until maximum engine speed
is reached.
On a descent, the gearbox will automatically
change down in order to provide efficient
engine braking and good re-acceleration.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for reasons of safety.
Snow programme
In addition to the auto-adaptive programme,
there is a special programme.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
The Snow programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor. Press button  once the vehicle has
been started and position D selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery
roads. Gearboxes
When the engine is at idle, brakes
not applied, if position
R, D or M is
selected the vehicle moves even without the
accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the
engine running .
When maintenance operations need to be
carried out with the engine running, apply
the handbrake and select position P.
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four gears:
 select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the following
parameters: the style of driving,
 the road profile,
 the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any action on
your part.
Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to optimise
braking on a slippery surface.
Moving off
With the engine running, to move off from
position P:
 it is essential to press the brake pedal
to exit position P,
 select position R, D or M, then gradually
release the pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N:
 release the handbrake, with your foot on
the brake
 select position R, D or M, then gradually
release the pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle moves off immediately.31

Gearboxes
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed
and engine speed permit. If they do not, the
vehicle will operate temporarily in automatic
mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects gear M1.
The  (snow) programme does not operate
in manual mode.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 stationary with the engine
idling.
You can return to the auto-adaptive
programme at any time.
 Press button

the programme you are in.
Manual operation
Manual changing of the four gears:
 select position M in the gate,
 push the lever to the + sign to change to a
higher gear,
 pull the lever to the - sign to change to a
lower gear.
You can change from position D (driving in
automatic mode) to position M (driving in
manual mode) at any time. Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated by
an audible signal, accompanied by the
message
"Automatic gear fault" on the
display and flashing of the Snow warning
light on the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You
may feel a substantial knock when changing
from P to R and from N to R (this will not
cause any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping
within the limit of local speed restrictions.
