GEARBOX
The four speed automatic gearbox
offers a choice between the comfort
of integral automatic operation ,
enhanced by a sport and a snow
program, or manual gear chang-
ing .
Park: to immobilise the vehicle and
to start the engine , with the hand-
brake on or off.
R everse: to reverse (select this
position with the vehicle stationary,
engine at idle).
N eutral: to start the engine and to
park , with the handbrake on.
If position N is inadvertently engaged
while driving, allow the engine to re-
turn to idle before engaging position
D to accelerate.
D rive: for driving in automatic
mode. M anual: for selection of gears.
S : sport program.
T: snow program.

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 follow-
ing parameters:
- the road proile,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part. 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.
WARNING
Never select position N when the ve-
hicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery sur-
face.
Notes
For immediate maximum accelera-
tion without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-
box will automatically change down
or maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When the brake is applied, the gear-
box will automatically change down
in order to provide eficient engine
braking.
Sport and snow programs
In addition to the auto-adaptive
program, there are two special pro-
grams.
The program is displayed on the in-
strument panel screen.
Sport program
F Press button S once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic ac-
celeration.
Snow program
This program improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.
F Press button
T once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive program at any time.
F Press button S or T again to
switch off the program you are in. 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 tempo-
rarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox au-
tomatically selects gear
M1.
Programs S (sport) and T (snow) do
not operate in manual mode.

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, by a "-" and lashing of the
Sport and Snow warning lights on the
instrument panel display.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd 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),
respecting local speed limits.
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.
In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may
be damaged. Illumination of this warning
light and of the
STOP warn-
ing light, accompanied by

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.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system ena-
bles the optimum braking pressure
to be reached more quickly, thus re-
ducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The ef-
fect of this is a reduction in the resist-
ance of the pedal and an increase in
braking eficiency.
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 warning lights, ac-
companied by a buzzer and
the message 'Braking fault' ,
it indicates that there is a malfunction
of the electronic brake force distribu-
tion, 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 pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very irmly 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, lo-
cated 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 observa-
tion of the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations regarding the
wheels (tyres and rims), the brak-
ing components, the electronic
components, and the PEUGEOT
assembly and operation proce-
dures.
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 lashes 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 lashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.

CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables the vehicle
to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless of
the road characteristics and without
the driver having to touch the accel-
erator or brake pedal.
In order for it to be memorised,
the vehicle speed must be greater
than 40 km/h (manual gearbox) or
60 km/h (automatic gearbox) and
fourth gear at least must be en-
gaged (second gear for the auto-
matic 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 trafic.
YOUR 307 CC IN DETAILMemorising 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.

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,
and a special speaker.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot de-
tect obstacles located just below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre, but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
comes close to it.
Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle car-
rier is itted (vehicle itted with towing
attachment or bicycle carrier recom-
mended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.
The proximity information is given by
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
Deactivation
In neutral, the system is again inac-
tive.
Detection zone
If there is an operating
fault, the audible signal
will be a short bleep fol-
lowed by a long bleep
when changing to reverse
gear.

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed
to maximise the safety of the oc-
cupants in the event of serious col-
lisions. They work in conjunction
with the force-limiting seat belts.
The electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering thresh-
old is reached, the air bags inlate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags delate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of collisions which are not seri-
ous, for which the seat belt is sufi-
cient to ensure maximum protection.
The seriousness of a collision de-
pends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant.
FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passenger
air bag is disarmed.
Disarming the passenger air
bag*
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the air bag were
to inlate.
F With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the slot in
this position.
The air bag warning light on the in-
strument panel is lit throughout the
disarming process.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and the message
"Air
bag fault" on the multifunc-
tion display, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked.

In the "OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON" po-
sition to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact.SIDE AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated in
the backs of the front seats, on the
door side.
They are deployed independently of
each other, on whichever side the
collision occurs.
In the event of perma-
nent lighting of the two
air bag warning lights, do
not install a rear facing
child seat. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer. With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this
warning light accompanied
by the message
"Passenger
air bag deactivated" on the
multifunction display, indicates that
the passenger air bag is disarmed
(switch in the "OFF" position). If this indicator light comes
on, accompanied by an audi-
ble signal and the message
"Air bag fault"
on the multi-
function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-
tem checked.
