DRIVING YOUR 306 CABRIOLET
AIRBAGS* The airbag system has been designed to maximise the safety ofthe occupants in the event of seriouscollisions. It works in conjunction withthe seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration of thevehicle; if the triggering threshold isreached the airbags inflate instantlyand come between the occupants andthe vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the
airbags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants and their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The airbags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protection.The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obstacleand the speed of the vehicle at themoment of the collision. Airbags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:the gas escaping from the
airbags can be a minor irritant. FRONT AIRBAGS 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 airbag isdisarmed), for frontal impacts wherethere is a risk of injury to the head orchest.
DISARMING THE
PASSENGER AIRBAG
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the pas-senger airbag when you install arearwards-facing child seat on thefront passenger seat.
Remove the ignition key, insert it into the passenger airbag switch
1and
turn it to the Ò OFFÓ position.
Ð The airbag warning light on the instrument panel is lit throughoutthe disarming process.
In the ÒOFFÓ position, the passenger
airbag will not be triggered in theevent of an impact.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 306 CABRIOLET
26
CHECKING THE LEVELS Engine Checking the oil level Check the level regularly and top up between changes
(maximum
consumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles (1,000 km). The oil level should be checked with the vehicle level, engine cold. There are two marks on the dipstick:
A= maximum.
B = minimum. Oil change:
according to the manu-
facturerÕs servicing schedule.
Ð Dipstick. Never fill past the maximum mark A.
Ð Oil level gauge on the instrument panel.
Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Oil filter Change the filter regularly in accor- dance with the maintenance schedule. Used oil Prevent used oil from coming into pro- longed contact with the skin. Do not dispose of used oil into drains or into the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines and emission control systems, the useof additives in the engine oil is pro-hibited. Brake fluid reservoir
Ð The level should always be above
the DANGER mark on the reser-
voir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change
Ð must be carried out according to the manufacturerÕs schedule.
Ð use fluids approved by the manu- facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan- dards.
Coolant reservoir Use the fluid approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlledby the engine fan: because this fancan operate with the ignition keyremoved, and because the coolingsystem is pressurised, wait for at leastone hour after the engine has stoppedbefore carrying out any work.
If necessary, in a breakdown, slacken the cap to the first notch to releasethe pressure to prevent any risk ofscalding. When the pressure hasdropped remove the cap and top upthe level.
