gears:
F
select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the follow-
ing parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the road proile,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part. When braking, the gearbox will au-
tomatically change down in order to
provide eficient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accel-
erator 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
(driving in automatic mode) to posi-
tion M (driving in manual mode) at
any time.

HANDBRAKE
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.
YOUR 307 IN DETAIL
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indi-
cated by an audible signal, accom-
panied by the message "Automatic
gear fault" on the multi-function
display, "-" and lashing of the Sport
and Snow warning lights on the in-
strument panel.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3
rd gear). You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R
and from N to R (this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
If the battery is lat and the
lever is in position P, it will
be impossible to change
to another position.
Above all, do not force the lever
as there is a risk of damage to the
automatic gearbox. Illumination of this warning
light and of the
STOP warn-
ing 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 to-
wards the pavement and
pull the handbrake.
The handbrake must not be used
to stop or brake while the vehicle
is moving.

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 mano-
evrability 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 ena-
bles 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 re-
sistance 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 con-
trol 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 electron-
ic 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 vi-
brations 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 com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing 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 recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking compo-
nents, 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.
