YOUR 807 IN DETAIL
To return to normal operation, pull
the lever upwards until a click is
heard.
Illumination of this light,
accompanied by an audible
signal and the message
"handbrake on" on the
multi-function display, indi-
cates that the handbrake is still on or
has not been properly released.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
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 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 the message
"ABS fault", 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
comes on, connected to the
STOP
warning light, accom-
panied by a buzzer and the
message "Braking fault", 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 system.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this
enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,
thus reducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
