DRIVING YOUR 306
106
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.

AIRBAGSFRONT AIRBAGS* DISARMING THEPASSENGER 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.
One of these two warninglights* on the instrument panelis lit throughout the disarming
procedure.
The airbag system has been designedto maximise the safety of the occu-pants in the event of serious collisions.It works in conjunction with the seatbelts. 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 igni- tion is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the
airbags can be a minor irritant. These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger. Theyare deployed simultaneously (exceptin cases where the airbag is dis-armed), for frontal impacts wherethere is a risk of injury to the head orchest.
* According to specification.

109
DRIVING YOUR 306
In the ÒOFFÓ position, the passenger
airbag will not be triggered in the event of an impact. As soon as you remove the rear- wards-facing child seat from the frontpassenger seat, turn the airbag switchto the Ò ONÓ position, to arm the airbag
and thus ensure the safety of yourpassenger in an impact. Passenger airbag precautions
Vehicle fitted with a passenger airbag disarming switch:
- disarm the airbagif you install a rear-wards-facing childseat on the frontpassenger seat,
- arm the airbag when you trans-port an adult onthe front passen-ger seat.
Vehicle not fitted with a passengerairbag disarming switch: - do not install a rear-wards-facing child seaton the front passengerseat.
Never place your feet or any object onthe fascia. Operating check It is indicated by one of the lights on instrument panel. If the passenger airbag is armed (pas- senger airbag switch in the Ò
ONÓ posi-
tion), the light will come on for 6 seconds when the ignition isswitched on. If the passenger airbag is disarmed (passenger airbag switch in the Ò OFFÓ
position), the light will stay on.
Only the airbag warning lightremains on,
or,
the airbag warning lightcomes on for six secondsafter the ignition is switchedon and the airbag disarming
ilight remains on permanently.
In any case, if the light flashes,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
