The traffi c announcement (TA) is displayed. I do not receive any traffi c information.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c information. The radio station is not part of the regional traffi c information network.
QUESTION SOLUTION RESPONSE
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used b y the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area th rough which the vehicle is travelling.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, baseme nt car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for exam ple when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode.
During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipme nt operating time depends on the battery charge. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...)
An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the stations are stored.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.

Improved safety and security
IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY
In the event of a front impact, the
retractable steering column limits the
backwards movement of the steering
wheel and the risks of intrusion of the
engine and gearbox into the passenger
compartment are reduced.
In the event of a side impact, you are
inside a cell armed with solid side
strengtheners.
With 5 stars in
the Euro NCAP
ADULT OCCUPANT
PROTECTION tests,
the 807 protects you
in several ways. Its
structure absorbs
a large proportion of the energy
connected with impacts.
Tests carried out on an 807 fi tted with
the 2.0 HDi engine.

Details of the other components are
given in the content of this chapter.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When the ignition is on, the ASR and
ESP systems are always active. Disarming the ASR/ESP 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 the switch, situated under the
steering wheel on the right of the
fascia.
The indicator light comes on
accompanied by a message:
the ESP and ASR systems
no longer act on the engine
operation, but continue to act
on the brakes.
Operation of the ASR and
ESP systems
The warning light fl ashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.
These systems are linked and
complement 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
directional stability of the vehicle to be
improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory 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, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),
- manually by pressing the switch again.
Operating check When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems offer
increased safety during normal
driving, but should not incite the
driver to take risks or to drive at
high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fi tting and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT
network are observed.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer .

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Refer to the administrative documents
(V5, ...) or to the Petrol or Diesel
"Dimensions, weights and towed
loads" section of chapter 9.
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
loads are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.

Dimension A = 0.96 m
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

186
Towing a trailer
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually. Please contact a PEUGEOT dealer
fi rst for further information.
Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, and if
the change in load makes it necessary,
this system automatically corrects the
height of the beam after approximately
2 minutes. The driver is then assured
of having optimum lighting and not
causing a nuisance to other road
users.

In certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the
maximum load up a steep slope
in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power.
In this case, cutting off the air
conditioning allows the engine power
to be recovered, and therefore the
towing speed to be signifi cantly
increased (approximately 12 mph
[20 km/h] more). Sequential control
of the gearbox may also become
unavailable. Lighting
Bicycle carrier If you fi t a bicycle carrier on
the tailgate, deactivate the
rear wiper from the display’s
confi guration menu.
Refer to the "Identifi cation
features" section of chapter 9. Refer to the "Steering wheel
controls" section of chapter 3.
When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to
the "Changing a fuse" section of
chapter 8.

If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as possible.

Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

Towbar
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars, which have been
tested for endurance from the design
stage of your vehicle.
Towing equipment must be fi tted in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, with particular attention to
the towing capacities of your vehicle,
the load towed, the nose weight and
the electrical connection. As this fi tting
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer .
In accordance with the general
instructions referred to above, we draw
your attention to the risk connected
with fi tting a towbar or other electrical
accessory which is not recommended
by the PEUGEOT network . Fitting such
equipment could result in a failure of
your vehicle’s electronic system. Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.

Snow screen
VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN
If fi tted on your vehicle, this is a removable part which permits complete or partial covering of the front air intake (grille, ...) to favour the increase in the engine temperature when driving in very low temperatures and to prevent the entry of snow into the engine compartment.
FITTING
-
Offer up the screen facing its centring pin A on the front bumper.
- Put it in place by pressing at each clip B located in the four corners.
REMOVAL
-
Pass a screwdriver into the hole located near each of the clips.
- Use the screwdriver as a lever to unclip the four clips B in turn.
When the snow has cleared, do not forget to remove the very cold climate screen.
