TYPES OF SERVICE
Each vehicle has its own servicing cycle, defined by the manufacturer in accordance with each vehicleÕs specific technical fea- tures.
This cycle consists of alternating 2 types of service A and C, intermediate visits, and a few additional operations depending on your vehicle ; these correspond to key stages in the life of your 306. Services of type B are designed for less recent vehicles.
Your dealer will indicate the type and content of the next service when the first service is carried out, and at each sub- sequent service.
Intermediate visit
* Whichever comes first Automatic gearbox oil level every 40,000 miles (60,000km) Brake fluid
replacement every 2 years or every 40,000 miles (60,000km)
These operations are carried out with synthetic based oil; Fuel Economy oil or
synthetic oil can also be used.

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.

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.

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.

the ABS system with electronic brakeforce distribution improves the stabil-ity and handling of your vehicle, par-ticularly on an uneven or slipperysurface. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
Manual gearbox The positions are indicated on the gear lever knob. Reverse gear can only be engaged from neutral when the vehicle is
stationary, with the engine idling. Special features of the six speed gearbox* Raise the lock ring under the knobbefore engagingreverse. In the event of emergency braking,press very firmly without reducingthe pressure. In some conditions
the normal operation of the ABSmay be felt as vibrations of thebrake pedal.
