Diesel pre-heat light If the light comes on, wait until it goes out before trying
the starter.
If the engine is warm enough, the lightwill not come on, and you can startthe engine without waiting. Front air bags*, sideair bags** anddisarming thepassenger air bag* For operation, see section on AIR BAGS.

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.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 30631
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine cold, at outside temperature, the levelshould always be above the MINImark, close to the MAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp wash reservoir* For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you useproducts approved by PEUGEOT(capacity 4,4 litres or 6 litres withheadlight wash). Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Air filter Regular replacement of the filter element is essential. If you drive invery dusty conditions, change it twiceas often. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicleswhich are used in town or for shortjourneys or which are driven in a
sporty manner, it may be necessaryto check the thickness of the padseven between services. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level according to the
manufacturerÕs service schedule. Autoadaptive automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change: have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer according to the
manufacturerÕs service schedule.
Only use products appro-
ved by Automobiles
PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor-
mance from components as impor- tant as the power steering and the braking system, PEUGEOTselects and offers quite specific products. Fuel supply cut-off* In a serious collision, a system pre- vents fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press the switch on the angle of the front
left-hand suspension assembly, underthe bonnet.
