MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 306
Recommendations for approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the tableopposite are suitable for most purposes. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depen-ding on the temperatures at which theoils are to be used. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of Ôsuperior qualityÕ. In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJquality (for petrol engines), or CD/CFquality (for diesel engines) may beused by following the ÔArduous Condi-
tionsÕ maintenance schedule whichspecifies shorter intervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from
a PEUGEOT dealer to maintaindriving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

4 - Adjusting the air flow
In the AUTO position the flow is controlled automatically in accordancewith the temperature selected.
You can, however, adjust the flow manually by turning the knob 4accor-
ding to the desired flow.
In AUTO mode, this automatically adjusts the temperature inside thevehicle according to your wishes (pre-
set temperature). To do this, the elec-tronic control unit adjusts the tempe-rature and the flow of air at the ventsand operates the air conditioning
system if necessary. 5 - Recirculation of interior air Press the switch 5, the indicator light
comes on.The air conditioning comes into ope-
ration automatically. This position must only be used in exceptional circumstances to:
- improve the performance of the air conditioning,
- prevent the entry of external air (dust, unpleasant odours),
- speed up heating inside the vehicle with a risk of misting of the windows. Special features If the air distribution control is in the windscreen de-icing position, the airconditioning system will start opera-ting automatically when the engine isswitched on.
If the air flow control is in the AUTO position, and air recirculation is selec-ted, air conditioning will start automa-tically in order to prevent condensa-tion on the windows. When you switch on the ignition, the air conditioning will automaticallyreturn to the operating mode it was inwhen it was last used. If the inside
temperature is greatly different fromthe required temperature displayedand the outside temperature is above5 ¡C the air conditioning will switch onautomatically regardless of the posi-tion of the air flow control. When the ignition is switched on, if the system had been in air recirculationmode, the system will automaticallyallow entry of outside air unless thetemperature inside the vehicle is over30 ¡C.
Important precautions Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes once or twice amonth to keep it in good working
order. It is advisable to change the air condi- tioning system fluid every 2 years.
If the system is not producing cold air, stop using it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

AUTOMATIC AUTOADAPTIVE GEARBOX Positions of the selector lever These positions are displayed on the instrument panel. P.
Park: use with the handbrake when parked.
R. Reverse: this must only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary and the engine idling.
N. Neutral: if Nis engaged by mistake while the car is moving, allow the engine
to return to idling speed before engaging a new forward gear.
D. Drive: in this position, the four gear ratios change automatically. The gearchange points vary depending on the programme selected.
3. Automatic changes of the first three gears only. Select this position when you notice frequent changes between third and fourth gear (town driving or on winding roads).
2 Automatic changes of the first two gears only. This position is particularly suitable for mountain roads, when going uphill (to make the best use of the engine's power) and downhill (engine braking).
1. Selection of first gear only.
For use on steep gradients, especially when towing a trailer.Selection of first gear is by pressing switch 1with the lever in position 2.
To exit position 1, press switch 1again or move the selector lever.
Starting
To start the engine, put the selector lever in
Nor P.
Press the brake pedal when starting the engine and to exit position P.

Any disruption of the system is signalled by thesimultaneous flashing ofthe Sport and Snow lightson the instrument panel. In
such a case, the gearbox will
operate in downgraded mode. Youmay feel a substantial knock whenreverse is selected from Por N
(without any risk of damage to thegearbox). Do not exceed 60 m.p.h. (100km/h). Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
without delay. When the engine is idling with the
car in gear, the car will move evenwithout you accelerating. Do not accelerate while a gear is being selected, when the vehicle is
stationary.
When stationary, have your foot on the brake pedal when selecting a
gear. Do not accelerate in gear with the brakes on. If work needs to be done with the engine running, apply the hand-brake and select position P.
Do not change down to brake onslippery roads. Never select position Nwhen the
vehicle is moving.Never engage Por Rif the vehicle
is not stationary.Do not allow children inside the vehicle unsupervised when theengine is running.
Operating programmes
You have a choice of three operating programmes:
- Auto-adaptive (normal).
- Sport.
- Snow.One press on button
Aor Bwill select
Sport or Snow respectively. The selec- tion is displayed on the instrumentpanel. Pressing the button a secondtime will return to the auto-adaptive(normal) programme. Auto-adaptive programme (normal) Gear changes are carried out on the basis of various parameters, such as:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- the vehicleÕs load.The gearbox continuously scans the
different programmes in the memoryand selects the one most suitable forthe driving conditions at any givenmoment. Sport programme The Sport programme favours perfor- mance for sporty driving and moredynamic acceleration. Snow Programme In position
Dthe Snow programme
provides smooth driving suited to slip- pery roads in order to improve trac-
tion and stability. Starting is in 2ndgear and changing down is at lowengine speeds. Special operating features
- During prolonged braking, the gearbox changes down automati-
cally, so as to provide efficientengine braking.
- If you take your foot off the accel- erator suddenly (when you aretaken by surprise, for example), thegearbox will not change up, so as to
improve safety.
-When the engine is cold, thegearbox automatically selects aspecial programme which enablesthe engine to reach its ideal tem-perature more quickly to decrease pollution.
Kickdown For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, pressthe accelerator pedal down as far as
it will go. The gearbox will changedown automatically or stay in the gearselected, up to maximum enginespeed.
