YOUR 307 SW IN DETAIL
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the
four
gears
:
F
select function
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.
WARNING
Never select function
N
when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select functions
P
or
R
unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between functions 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 (kick down). The gear-
box will automatically change down
or maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
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.

gramme, there are two special pro-
grammes.
