MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 306 CABRIOLET

PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals:
¥ Every 20 000 miles (30 000km) or every 2 years for petrol engines. The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly; topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal.
It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of mind, that your PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a levels check and top-up midway between each routine service, at the time or distance intervals specified. This will be undertaken free of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within the
Peugeot network. At the same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a PEUGEOT Safety Check, for a nominal fee.
A PEUGEOT professional will carry out a quick check and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolant and screen wash).
If the oil level is too low, there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every 1 500 m iles
(2 500km), depending on the conditions of use.
The date of the intermediate visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10 000 miles (15 000km) for petrol engines.

2 - Adjusting the temperature
Turn the knob 2to the blue zone (cold) or to the red zone (hot).
3 - Adjusting the air distribution
To direct the hot or cold air, turn the knob 3to the desired position. 4 - Adjusting the air flow

flow.
Entry of outside air This is the normal operating position. Recirculation of interior air This position prevents the
entry of outside air. Used at the same time as the
air conditioning, this will improve air conditioning performance. Used on its own, it prevents the entry of outside air (dust, unpleasantodours) but there is a risk of misting ofthe windows.
Avoid continuous operation in interior air recirculation mode. 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 con- ditioning system fluid every two years.
If the system is not producing cold air, stop using it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

DRIVING YOUR 306 CABRIOLET101
Any disruption of the system is signalled by theflashing of the Sport andSnow lights on the instru-ment panel. In such a case,
the gearbox will operate in down-
graded mode. You may feel a sub-stantial knock when reverse isselected from Pto R, or from Nto R
(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

- 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 automatically,
so as to provide efficient enginebraking.
- If you take your foot off the acce- lerator suddenly (when you are taken 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.
