 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.

   Parking sensors   

4

 FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE 

 If fi tted on your vehicle, the system is 

audible and/or visual and consists of 

four proximity sensors, located in the 

front and/or rear bumper. The sensors 

detect any obstacle which enters 

the fi eld: person, vehicle, tree, gate, 

located in front of or behind the vehicle 

during the manoeuvre. 
 Objects the size or thickness of which 

is detected at the beginning of the 

manoeuvre, may no longer be detected 

at the end of the manoeuvre: due to 

blind spots between and below the 

sensors. Examples: stake, roadworks 

cone, kerbstone. 
 This system does not take the place of 

the vigilance and responsibility of the 

driver. 

  Switching the system on 

 The system is activated as soon as: 
   -  

reverse gear is engaged, 

  -  

the speed falls below 6 mph 

(10 km/h) in forward gear.  

 This is accompanied by an audible 

signal and displaying of the vehicle, 

depending on the display. 
 The proximity information is given by: 
   -  

an audible signal, which becomes 

more rapid as the vehicle 

approaches the obstacle, 

  -  

a graphic on the display, with 

blocks which become progressively 

closer to the vehicle.  

 The obstacle is located in relation to 

the emission of the audible signal from 

the speakers, front or rear and right or 

left. 

  Switching the system off 

  Press the button again to re-activate 

the system. The indicator light on the 

button switches off. 

 In bad or wintry weather, ensure 

that the sensors are not covered 

with mud, frost or snow. 

 In this case (e.g. sensors dirty), when 

reverse gear is engaged, the indicator 

light fl ashes, accompanied by an 

audible signal and a message on the 

display. 
 Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.  

  Deactivation 

 Press the button on the fascia 

to deactivate the system (to 

avoid waking a child...). The 

indicator light on the button 

comes on. 

 The system returns to the inactive 

status: 
   -  

when you exit reverse gear, 

  -  

when the speed increases to above 

6 mph (10 km/h), 

  -  

at the end of the manoeuvre, when 

the vehicle becomes stationary 

(front parking assistance only).   

 RE-ACTIVATION 

 When the distance between the vehicle 

and the obstacle is less than approximately 

thirty centimetres, the audible signal 

becomes continuous and the "Danger" 

symbol appears depending on the display.  

 This function will be deactivated 

automatically when the vehicle is 

towing a trailer or when a bicycle 

carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted with 

towing attachment or bicycle carrier 

recommended by PEUGEOT).

   Driving safely   

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM 
(ABS) AND ELECTRONIC 
BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION 
(EBFD) 

 The ABS, in conjunction with the 

electronic brake force distribution, 

increases the stability and 

manoeuvrability of your vehicle on 

braking, in particular on poor or 

slippery road surfaces. 

 HORN

 Press one of the spokes of the steering 

wheel. 

 When changing wheels (tyres and 

rims), make sure that these are 

approved. 

 The anti-lock 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 a message, 

it indicates that there is a 

malfunction of the ABS, which 

can cause a loss of control of the 

vehicle when braking. 

 When this warning light comes 

on, connected to the  STOP  

warning light, accompanied 

by a buzzer and a message, 

it indicates that there is a 

malfunction 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. 

 Normal operation of the ABS may 

make itself felt by slight vibrations of 

the brake pedal. 
  In emergency braking, press very 

fi rmly without releasing the pressure.  

 EMERGENCY BRAKING 
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)

 In an emergency, this system enables 

the optimum braking pressure to be 

reached more quickly, press the pedal 

fi rmly without releasing it. 
 It is triggered by the speed at which the 

brake pedal is activated. 
 This alters the resistance of the brake 

pedal under your foot. 
 To prolong the operation of the 

emergency braking assistance system: 

keep your foot on the brake pedal.

 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 left 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. 

  Operating check 

 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 these systems 

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.   

  They engage again: 
   )   automatically above 30 mph 

(50 km/h), 

  )   manually by pressing the switch 

again.   

  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. 

 When a malfunction of the 

systems occurs, the indicator 

light comes on, accompanied 

by an audible signal and a 

message on the display. 

 Consult a PEUGEOT dealer to have 

the system checked.

   Driving safely   

 TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION

 Sensors check the tyre pressure during 

driving, and trigger a warning in the 

event of a malfunction (speed greater 

than approx.15 mph [25 km/h]) or 

puncture. 
 An outline representing one or more 

wheels fl ashing indicates the location 

of the wheel or wheels concerned. 

  Flat tyre 

 The SERVICE warning light 

comes on, accompanied 

by the message  "Tyre(s) 

defl ated" , an outline on the display, 

and an audible signal. 
 Check the tyre pressure as soon as 

possible.  

 If the damaged tyre is temporarily 

stored in the boot, it will again emit 

this message to remind you of the 

necessity of having it repaired. This will 

prevent another warning of the same 

type being displayed.  

  Sensor(s) not detected 

 The SERVICE warning light 

comes on, accompanied 

by the message  "X tyre 

pressure sensor(s) missing" , an 

outline on the display and an audible 

signal. 
 Under-infl ation detection is absent 

from one (or several) tyre(s). Consult a 

PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty 

sensor(s). 

 This message is also displayed 

when one of the tyres is away 

from the vehicle (being repaired) 

or when a wheel without a sensor is 

fi tted. 

 All repairs and changing of 

tyres on a wheel fi tted with this 

system must be carried out by a 

PEUGEOT dealer. 

  The tyre under-infl ation detection 

system is a driving aid which does 

not take the place of the vigilance or 

the responsibility of the driver.  
 This system does not remove the 

need to have the tyre pressure 

checked regularly (including the spare 

wheel), to ensure that the dynamic 

performance of the vehicle remains at 

its best and to avoid premature wear 

of the tyres, in particular in the case 

of arduous driving (heavy load, high 

speed). 
 The system may temporarily be 

disturbed by radio broadcasts on a 

frequency close to it.  

  Puncture 

 The STOP warning light 

comes on, accompanied 

by the message 

 "Punctured tyre(s)" , an outline on the 

display and an audible signal. 
 Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden 

movement of the steering wheel and 

the brakes. 
 Change the damaged (punctured or 

very defl ated) tyre, and have the tyre 

pressure checked as soon as possible. 

 Refer to the "Changing a wheel" 

section of chapter 7. 

SAFETY

91

   Seat belts   

4

 FRONT AND REAR SIDE SEAT 
BELTS

 The front seats and the rear side seats 

of row 2 are fi tted with pre-tensioners 

and force limiters. 

 The lap strap must be positioned as 

low as possible on the pelvis. The 

chest strap must pass over the hollow 

of the shoulder. 
 Check that the seat belt is fastened 

correctly by pulling the strap.  

 The force-limiting device reduces the 

pressure of the seat belt against the 

chest of the occupant, so increasing 

his protection.  

  A bag placed on the front 

passenger seat or a pet sitting on 

this seat may trigger the lighting of 

this warning light.  

 SEAT BELTS

  Front seat belt warning light 

  If the driver and/or front 

passenger has/have not 

fastened his/their seat belt, 

this warning light comes on. 

 Then, at a speed in excess of 

approximately 15 mph (25 km/h), it 

fl ashes accompanied by an audible 

signal of increasing volume (for 

approximately 90 seconds) and a 

message on the display. 

  Row 2 rear side seat belts 

 For your comfort, if you are not using 

the seat belt, slide the seat belt loop to 

the upper stop to prevent the tongue 

from vibrating.  

  To adjust the height 

 -    

To lower the attachment point, 

squeeze control and slide it 

downwards 

 -   

To raise the attachment point, slide 

control upwards.   

  To fasten 

 -    

Pull the strap, then insert the 

buckle into the stalk. 

 -   

Check that the seat belt is secured 

correctly by pulling the strap.  

  Inertia reel seat belts 

 These are fi tted with a device which 

locks the seat belt automatically in 

the event of an impact or emergency 

braking. 
 Safety in the event of a frontal impact 

has been improved by the introduction 

of pre-tensioning and force-limiting 

seat belts. Depending on the 

seriousness of the impact, the pre-

tensioning system instantly tightens the 

seat belts fi rmly against the body of the 

occupant. 
 The pre-tensioning seat belts are 

armed when the ignition is on. 

  Row 3 rear side seat belts 

 The row 3 rear side seats are fi tted 

with two seat belts which are both 

three-point inertia reel belts with force 

limiter. 

92

   Seat belts   

 Depending on the nature and 

seriousness of any impact, the 

pretensioning device may be triggered 

before and independently of infl ation 

of the air bags. It instantly tightens 

the seat belts against the body of the 

occupants. 
Triggering of the pretensioners is 

accompanied by a slight discharge 

of harmless smoke and a noise, due 

to the activation of the pyrotechnic 

cartridge incorporated in the system. 
 The force limiter reduces the pressure 

of the seat belt against the body of the 

occupants. 
 The pretensioning seat belts are active 

when the ignition is switched on. 
 The inertia reels are fi tted with a device 

which automatically locks the strap in 

the event of a collision or emergency 

braking or if the vehicle rolls over. 
 You can unfasten the seat belt by 

pressing the red button on the buckle. 

Guide the seat belt after unfastening. 

 The upper part of the seat belt should 

be positioned in the hollow of the 

shoulder. 
 The lap part should be placed as low 

as possible on the pelvis. 
 Do not invert the seat belt buckles as 

they will not fulfi l their role completely. 

If the seats are fi tted with armrests, the 

lap part of the seat belt should always 

pass under the armrest. 
 Check that the seat belt is fastened 

correctly by pulling the strap fi rmly. 

  Good practice 

 The driver must ensure that 

passengers use the seat belts correctly 

and that they are all strapped in 

securely before moving off. 
 Wherever you are seated in the 

vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, 

even for short journeys. 
 The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia 

reel which automatically adjusts the 

length of the strap to your size. 
 Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, 

clips, safety pins, etc.) which permit a 

clearance with the seat belt straps. 
 Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up 

correctly after use. 
 After folding or moving a seat or a rear 

bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is 

rolled up correctly and that the buckle 

is ready to accommodate the tongue. 

 To install the seat belt, move the tongue 

into position to insert it into the buckle  

  Row 2 and 3 rear centre seat 

belts 

 The row 2 rear centre seat and the 

rear bench seat centre seat have an 

integrated three-point inertia reel seat 

belt.  

 The air bag warning light comes on 

if the pretensioners are triggered. 

Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. 
 In order to be effective, a seat belt 

must: 
   -  

restrain one person only, 

  -  

must not be twisted, check by 

pulling in front of you with an even 

movement, 

  -  

be tightened as close to the body 

as possible.  

  Recommendations for children: 
   -  

use a suitable child seat if the 

passenger is less than 12 years old 

or shorter than one metre fi fty, 

  -  

never allow a child to travel on 

your lap, even with the seat belt 

fastened.  

 For further information regarding child 

seats, refer to the "Children on board" 

section of chapter 4. 
 In accordance with current safety 

regulations, your PEUGEOT dealer 

guarantees all work or any checks, 

from testing to maintenance, on your 

seat belt equipment. 
 Have the seat belts checked regularly 

(even after a minor impact) by a 

PEUGEOT dealer: they must not show 

any signs of wear, cutting or fraying 

and they must not be transformed or 

modifi ed. 
 Clean the seat belt straps with soapy 

water or a textile cleaning product, sold 

by PEUGEOT dealers.   

SAFETY

93

Airbags

4

 The air bags have been designed to 

maximise the safety of the occupants 

(with the exception of the centre 

seats of rows 2 and 3) in the event 

of a serious collision; they work in 

conjunction with the force limiting seat 

belts. 
 In the event of a serious collision, the 

electronic detectors record and analyse 

the front and side impacts suffered in 

the impact detection zones: 
   -  

in the event of a serious impact, the 

air bags infl ate instantly and protect 

the occupants of the vehicle.  

 Immediately after the impact, the air 

bags defl ate rapidly, so that they do not 

hinder the visibility of the occupants 

nor their possible exit from the vehicle: 
   -  

in the event of a minor or rear 

impact and in certain roll-over 

conditions, the air bags will not 

be deployed; the seat belt alone 

is suffi cient to provide maximum 

protection in these situations.  

 The seriousness of the collision 

depends on the nature of the obstacle 

and the speed of the vehicle at the 

moment of impact.  

  Air bags only operate when 

the ignition is switched on. 

 This equipment only operates once. 

If a second impact occurs (during the 

same or a subsequent accident), the 

air bag will not operate. 
 The triggering of an air bag or air bags 

is accompanied by a slight discharge 

of harmless smoke and a noise, due 

to the activation of the pyrotechnic 

cartridge incorporated in the system. 
 This smoke is not harmful, but 

sensitive individuals may experience 

some irritation. 
 The noise of the detonation may result in 

a slight loss of hearing for a short time. 

 AIR BAGS 

 It is imperative that the passenger 

air bag is disarmed if a child seat 

is installed facing rearwards. Refer 

to the "Children on board" section of 

chapter 4.

Airbags

  Good practice 

 If your vehicle is fi tted with a front 

passenger air bag, side air bags or 

curtain air bags, observe this good 

practice. 
 Sit in a normal upright position. 
 Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. 
 Do not leave anything between the 

occupants and the air bags (a child, 

pet, object...). This could hamper the 

operation of the air bags or injure the 

occupants. 
 After an accident or if the vehicle has 

been stolen or broken into, have the air 

bag systems checked. 
 All work on the air bag system is strictly 

forbidden unless it is carried out by 

qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT 

network. 

  Front air bags 
 Do not drive holding the steering wheel 

by its spokes or resting your hands on 

the centre part of the wheel. 
 Passengers must not place their feet 

on the fascia. 
 Smoke as little as possible as 

deployment of the air bags can cause 

burns or the risk of injury from a 

cigarette or pipe. 
 Never remove or pierce the steering 

wheel or hit it violently.   

  Side air bags 
 Only put approved covers on the seats. 

These will not hinder infl ation of the 

side air bags. Consult a PEUGEOT 

dealer. 
 Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat 

backs. This could cause injury to the 

chest or arms when the side air bag 

infl ates. 
 Do not sit with the upper part of the 

body any nearer to the door than 

necessary.  

  Curtain air bags 
 Do not fi x or glue anything to the roof. 

This could cause injury to the head 

when the curtain air bag infl ates. 
 Do not remove the grab handles 

installed on the roof, they play a part in 

securing the curtain air bags.  

 Even if all of the precautions 

mentioned are observed, a risk of 

injury or of minor burns to the head, 

chest or arms when an air bag is 

triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact, 

the bag infl ates almost instantly (within 

a few milliseconds) then defl ates within 

the same time discharging the hot gas 

via openings provided for this purpose.
