Unlocking Pull on the handle and press the but- ton to release the handbrake.Illumination of this light,accompanied by an audiblesignal and the message"handbrake on" on the
multi-function display, indi-cates that the handbrake is
still on or has not been properlyreleased.
Operating abnormality Any operating abnormality is indica- ted by an audible signal accompa-nied by the message "Automatic
gearbox faulty" on the multi-func-
tion display and flashing of the Sportand Snow warning lights on the ins-trument panel. In this situation thegearbox operates in downgrade
mode (locked in 3rd gear). You mayfeel a substantial knock when chan-ging from Pto Rand from Nto R
(this will not cause any damage tothe gearbox). Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. When this warning lightcomes on, accompanied byan audible signal and themessage
"Braking fault"
on the multi-function display
it indicates that there is a malfunctionof the electronic brake force distribu-tion, which can cause a loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
HANDBRAKE Locking Pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle.
Warning:
when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pave- ment and pull the handbrake.
ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS system with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD)increases the stability and manoeu-vrability of your vehicle, particularlyon 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 whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
YOUR 307 SW IN DETAIL 95
If the battery is flat and the lever is in position
P, it
will be impossible tochange to another posi-tion.
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
pressure to be reached more quickly,thus reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered according to the speed
of activation of the brake pedal. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
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 of the drivewheels and on the engine. It alsoallows the directional stability of thevehicle to be improved on accelera-tion. 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. 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 above 30 km/h,
manually by pressing the switch again.
* According to destination.
Operating check
When a malfunction of the system 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.

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.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions.They work in conjunction with theforce-limiting seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached the air bags inflate ins-tantly and protect the occupants ofthe vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants and their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protec-
tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obs-tacle and the speed of the vehicle atthe moment of the collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note: the gas escaping from the
cushion 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 air bag isdisarmed. Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage "Air bag fault" on the
multi-function display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to havethe system checked. 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 arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat.
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passengerair bag disarming slot 1, turn it to
the "OFF" position, then remove
it keeping the slot in this position.
The air bag warning light on the instru-ment panel is lit throughout the disar-ming process.
* According to destination.

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 remo- ved, turn the air bag slot to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag andthus ensure the safety of your pas-senger in the event of an impact. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message on the multi-
function display.
With the ignition on (2ndnotch), illumination of thiswarning light accompaniedby an audible signal and themessage "Passenger air
bag disarmed" on the multi-function
display, indicates that the passengerair bag is disarmed (slot in the"OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS* AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS* The side air bags are incorporated into the front seat backs on the doorside. The curtain air bags are incorporated into the door pillars and the upperpart of the passenger compartment. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message on the multi-
