Moving off
With the engine running, to move off from position P:
 it is essential to press the
brake pedal to exit position P,
 select function R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressureon the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N:
 release the handbrake, with yourfoot on the brake,
 select function R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressureon the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
WARNING When the engine is at idle, brakes not applied, if function R, D or Mis select-
ed the vehicle moves even withoutthe accelerator being pressed. For this reason, do not leave chil-
dren unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the engine running .
When maintenance operations needto be carried out with the engine run-ning, apply the handbrake and selectposition P.

light, accompanied by anaudible signal (while thevehicle is being driven) and
the message "handbrake on" on
the multi-function display, indicatesthat the handbrake is still on or hasnot been properly released.
Operating abnormality Any operating abnormality is indicat- ed by an audible signal, accompa-nied by the message "Automatic
gear fault" on the multi-function dis-
play, "Ð"and flashing of the Sport
and Snow warning lights on theinstrument panel. In this situation the gearbox operates in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd
gear). You may feel a substantialknock when changing from Pto R
and from Nto R(this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox). Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping within the limit of localspeed restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. HANDBRAKE Applying Pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle.
Warning:
when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pave- ment and pull the handbrake.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS) AND THE ELECTRONICBRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION(EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the electronic brake force distribution,increases the stability andmanoevrability of your vehicle onbraking, in particular on poor or slip-pery road surfaces. Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are approved. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning lightcomes on, accompanied bya buzzer and the message"ABS fault" , it indicates
that there is a malfunction of
the ABS, which can cause a loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lightcomes on, connected to the
STOPand ABS warning
lights, accompanied by abuzzer and the message
'Braking fault' , it indicates that there
is a malfunction of the electronicbrake force distribution, which cancause a loss of control of the vehiclewhen braking.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrationsof the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system 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 theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
Stop immediately. In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.

29-09-2003
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by act-ing on the brakes of the drive wheelsand on the engine. It also allows thedirectional stability of the vehicle tobe improved on acceleration. 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.Operating check
When a malfunction of thesystems occurs, the switchlight flashes and the warninglight comes on, accompa-nied by an audible signal
and the message "ESP/ASR not
functioning" on the multifunction
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
YOUR 307 IN DETAIL
134
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 canmove freely and regain grip. 
Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located on the central section of the fascia.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems aredisarmed.
These are triggered again:  automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),
 manually by pressing the switchagain.
Operation of the ASR and ESP systems
The warning light flashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.
The ESP/ASR systems offer exceptional safety innormal driving, but thisshould not encourage thedriver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed. The correct functioning of these systems depends on observationof the manufacturer's recommen-dations regarding the wheels (tyresand rims), the braking components,the electronic components, and thePEUGEOT assembly and opera-tion procedures. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless ofthe road characteristics and withoutthe driver having to touch the accelera-tor or brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than25 mph (40 km/h) (manual gearbox)or 40 mph (60 km/h) (automaticgearbox) and fourth gear at leastmust be engaged (second gear forthe automatic gearbox).Operation 
Place switch 1in the ONposition.
A speed can be memorised.  Place switch 1in the OFFposi-
tion to cancel.
Memorising a speed As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press button 2or 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. Whenthe accelerator pedal is released, thevehicle will return to the memorisedspeed.
Cancelling the memorised speed If you wish to cancel the memorised speed:  press button 4or the brake or
clutch pedal. Recalling the memorised speed After cancellation, press button
4.
Your vehicle will return to the last memorised speed. Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one:  press button 3;
 release it when you have reached the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than theprevious one:  appuyez sur la touche 2;
 release it when you have reached the required speed.
Cancelling the cruise control  Place switch 1in the OFFposi-
tion or switch off the ignition.
YOUR 307 IN DETAIL 135
Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or inheavy traffic.

Selecting the function Place switch 1in the CRUISE posi-
tion. The cruise control is not yet active and no speed has been
memorised. The display indicates:
Switching the function off  Place switch 1in position 0or
LIMIT to switch the system off.
Activation/memorising a speed As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press button 2or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will
be maintained automatically. Thedisplay indicates (e.g. at 80 mph(130 km/h)): Note: It is possible to accelerate and
drive momentarily at a speed greater
than the memorised speed. Thevalue memorised flashes. When theaccelerator pedal is released, thevehicle will return to the memorisedspeed.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER* Cruise control function:
this enables
the vehicle to maintain a steady speed
programmed by the driver, regardlessof the road characteristics and withoutthe driver having to touch the accelera-tor or brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than25 mph (40 km/h) with at least fourthgear engaged (second gear for theautomatic gearbox), with the engine
running .
