Instrument panel display After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession :
- service indicator (see corresponding section),
- engine oil level indicator,
- total distance recorder (total and trip distances).Note:the total and trip distances are displayed for 30 seconds when the ignition
is switched off, on opening the driver's door, as well as on locking and unlocking the vehicle. Engine oil level When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for approxi- mately 10 seconds, after the servicing information.
Maximum Check the level using the dipstick to confirm whether the message is correct; a surplus of oil can cause damage to the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without delay. Minimum
Check the level with the dipstick and top it up. The figure shown is only correct if the vehicle has been on stable, level ground, withthe engine stopped, for 10 minutes. Oil level gauge fault The symbol (square) flashes; it indicates a fault in the oil level gauge. There is a risk the engine will be damaged.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Lighting rheostat With the lights on, press the button tovary the intensity ofthe lighting on theinstrumentpanel andthe multifunction dis-
play. When the ligh-
ting reaches the minimum (or maxi-mum) setting, release it then pressagain to increase (or reduce) thebrightness. As soon as the lighting is of the required brightness, release the button.
Trip recorder zeroreset With the ignition swit- ched on, press thebutton.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

OPENING THE BONNET From inside:push the handle on the
driver's side under the fascia. From outside: lift the catch and
raise the bonnet. Bonnet strut Secure the strut to hold the bonnet open. Before closing the bonnet, replace the strut in its housing.
To close Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of its travel. Check that thebonnet is properly locked. "Bonnet open" warning* With the engine running or the vehicle moving, flashing of the
"STOP" centralised warning light accompanied by an audible signaland a diagram on the multi-function
display, warns you that the bonnet isnot properly closed. FILLING WITH FUEL Low fuel level
When the minimum fuel level in the tank is rea-ched, this warning lightcomes on.
You can still drive
approximately 30 miles (50 km). Flashing of the warning light indi- cates a malfunction of the fuelgauge.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.The engine must be switched off when filling with fuel.
Open the fuel filler flap.
Insert the key then turn it to theleft.
Remove the cap and hang it onthe hook located on the inside ofthe flap.
A label affixed inside the fuel fillerflap indicates which type of fuel touse. When you fill your tank, do not conti-
nue after the third cut-off of the
pump. This could cause your vehicleto malfunction. The capacity of the tank is approxi- mately 13 gallons (60 litres). After filling the tank, lock the cap and close the fuel filler flap.
* According to specification.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)*
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)* These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS system.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, byacting on the brakes and the engine.It also allows the directional stabilityof the vehicle to be improved onacceleration. If there is a variation between the tra- jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESPsystem automatically acts on theengine and the brake of one or morewheels, in order to put the vehicleback on course.
Operation of the ASR and
ESP systemsWhen one of these two sys- tems is operating, this lightflashes.
* During the year Disarming the ESP / ASR systems In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in
mud or snow, or on loose ground...),it could prove useful to disarm theASR system to make the wheelsspin and regain grip.
Press the switch "ESP OFF",
situated on the central part of the fascia.
The switch lights up and theindicator light comes on;the
ESP and ASR systems nolonger act on the brake andengine operation.
They engage again: automatically when the ignition is
switched off,
manually by pressing the switchagain. Operating check
When a malfunction of thesystem occurs, the switchlight flashes and the indica-tor light comes on, accom-panied by an audible signal
and the message "ESP/ASR not
operational" on the multifunction
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
YOUR 307 IN DETAIL 89
The ESP system offers increased safety duringnormal driving, but shouldnot incite the driver totake risks or to drive at
high speed. The operation of the system is ensured to the extent to which therecommendations of the manufac-turer regarding the wheels (tyresand wheel rims), the braking com-ponents, the electronic compo-nents and the assembly andrepair procedures within the PEUGEOT network are observed. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

BATTERY
To charge the battery using a battery charger:
- Disconnect the battery.
- Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer.
- Reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal.
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sul-phate (white or greenish deposit),
To start the vehicle from another battery:
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries.
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the slave battery.
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on the bro- ken down vehicle as far as possible from the battery.
- Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION 111
- Never disconnect a ter-
minal when the engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.
- Close the sunroof before discon- necting the battery. If it does notoperate normally following re-connection of the battery youmust reinitialise it by turning thecontrol to the maximum tilt posi-tion and pressing it for an exten-ded period.
- After every re-connection of the battery, switch on the ignitionand wait 1 minute before startingto allow the electronic systemsto be initialised. If slight difficul-ties are experienced after this,please contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a period of more than one month.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be fit-
ted by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggage but
it may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. The maximum towing load must be reduced by 10% for every 1000 metresof altitude.Driving advice Distribution of loads Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as pos-sible to the axle and the nose weightapproaches the maximum permittedwithout exceeding it. Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long climb depends on the incline and theexterior temperature. In all cases pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas soon as possible.Tyres Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle, observing the recom-mended pressures. Braking
Towing increases the braking distance. Lights Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind
Take into acount the increased sen- sitivity to side wind.
