DRIVING YOUR 306
Handbrake Application When you have parked the vehicle, pull up the handbrake to apply it.
To ease application and release of the handbrake, press the brake pedal andpull up the handbrake with the enginerunning. Release Press the button before releasing the handbrake.THE ABS ANTI-LOCKBRAKING SYSTEM* In conjunction with tyres of an approved make and in good condition,
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.
* According to specification.
Power steering
This is a comfort device which offers the best compromise for parking, andfor driving at high speeds.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 30633
For your safety, always change the wheel:
- on level, stabIe and non-slippe- ry ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- with first gear or reverse enga- ged (position Pfor the automa-
tic gearbox).
Never go underneath a vehicle which is supported only by a jack.(Use a ramp).
To fit the wheel After positioning the wheel, pre- tighten the bolts using the wheel-brace. Lower the jack and remove it.Fully tighten the wheel bolts using the wheelbrace. Fit the wheel trim starting with the section by the valve and press intoplace using the palm of the hand.
Removing the wheel Park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery ground. Apply the handbrake, engage first gear or reverse (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox). Remove the wheel trim by using the wheelbrace and pulling next to thevalve.
Warning: your wheel trims are fitted
with dummy nuts. Do not use them to remove your wheel trims. 4-door:
Use the jack storage box to
chock the wheel diagonally oppositethe wheel to be changed. Loosen the wheel bolts.Place the jack in the location designed for it, as close as possible to the wheelto be changed. Ensure that the whole of the base of the jack is in contact with the ground. Extend the jack, fully loosen the wheel bolts and remove the wheel. Refitting the wheel in the carrier
Raise the wheel, then the carrier, and resecure it on the hook. Do not forget to fully tighten the spare wheel carrier securing bolt. After changing the wheel:
- have the tightening of the bolts
and the tyre pressure checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as soonas possible,
- have the punctured wheel repaired and refit it to thevehicle as soon as possible.

Driving advice Distribution of loads: distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviestloads are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight is close tothe maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it. Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, itscooling capacity is not dependent onthe engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine assoon as possible.
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.
Only use original PEUGEOT towbars which have been tested and appro-ved from the design stage of yourvehicle. The towbar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is mainly designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used to tow a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantforces and requires particular atten-
tion on the part of the driver. Air density decreases with altitude, thus also reducing engine perfor-
mance. Above 1000 metres, reducethe maximum towing load by 10 %and so on for each additional 1000 metres.
For use in arduous conditions(towed load at the limit of the Permis-
sible Gross Train Weight, in Summeron a long hill)
certain engines (1.9 l
Diesel) must be equipped with a
more resistant cooling system.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer who, depending on your vehicle and what it
is used for, will be able to advise youabout suitable equipment. Pay attention to the coolant tempera- ture at all times. If the alarm warning light comes on,
stop the vehicle and switch off theengine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and the trailer, obser- ving the recommended pressures. Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early, brake graduallyand avoid jerky braking. Lighting: adjust your headlamps so
as not to dazzle other road users. Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a moderate speed.
