Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears:
F 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 prole,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any action on your part.
When braking, the gearbox will automatically change down in order to
provide efcient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accelerator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
Manual operation
Manual changing of the four gears:
F select position M in the gate,
F push the lever to the + sign to
change to a higher gear,
F pull the lever to the - sign to
change to a lower gear.
You can change from position D

any time.
Sport and snow programs
In addition to the auto-adaptive
program, there are two special programs.
The program is displayed on the instrument panel screen.
Sport program

has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic acceleration.
Snow program
This program improves starting and

F Press button T once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Note: you can return to the autoadaptive program at any time.
F Press button S or T again to

optimise braking on a slippery surface.
Notes
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.
Program S (sport) and T (snow) do
not operate in manual mode.
Notes
For immediate maximum acceleration without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kickdown). The gearbox will automatically change down
or maintain the gear selected until

as there is a risk of damage to the
automatic gearbox.
Illumination of this warning
light and of the STOP warning light, accompanied by
an audible signal (while the
vehicle is being driven) and
the message "handbrake on" on
the multi-function display, indicates
that the handbrake is still on or has
not been properly released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pavement and
pull the handbrake.
The handbrake must not be used
to stop or brake while the vehicle
is moving.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the button to release the handbrake.

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 manoevrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular 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.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a Peugeot
dealer.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure
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.
YOUR 307 IN DETAIL
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 light
comes on, connected to
the STOP and ABS warn-
ing lights, accompanied 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.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
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.
Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may
be advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
F Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located on the central section of
the fascia.
Operating check
The ESP/ASR systems
offer exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this
should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components, the electronic components,
and the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems are
disarmed.
These are triggered again:
F automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
F automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h),
F manually by pressing the switch
again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light flashes and the warning
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the
message "ESP/ASR not function-
ing" on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
The warning light flashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.

CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables the vehicle
to maintain a steady speed programmed by the driver, regardless of
the road characteristics and without
the driver having to touch the accelerator or brake pedal.
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
25 mph (40 km/h) (manual gearbox) or 40 mph (60 km/h) (automatic gearbox) and fourth gear at least
must be engaged (second gear for
the automatic gearbox).
Operation
F Place switch 1 in the ON position.
A speed can be memorised.
F Place switch 1 in the OFF position
to cancel.
Recalling the memorised
speed
After cancellation, press button 4.
Your vehicle will return to the last
memorised speed.
Do not use cruise control
on slippery roads or in
heavy trafc.
Memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button 2 or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically.
Note:
It is possible to accelerate
and drive momentarily at a speed
greater than the memorised speed.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the
memorised speed.
Cancelling the memorised
speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised
speed:
F press button 4 or the brake or
clutch pedal.
Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one:
F press button 3;
F release it when you have reached
the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
F press button 2;
F release it when you have reached
the required speed.
Cancelling the cruise control
F Place switch 1 in the OFF position
or switch off the ignition.
