DRIVING YOUR 306
106
Any disruption of the
system is signalled by the
simultaneous flashing of the
Sport and Snow lights on
the instrument panel. In
such a case, the gearbox will operate
in downgraded mode. You may feel
a substantial knock when reverse is
selected from Por N(without any risk
of damage to the gearbox).
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 even
without 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 handbrake and select position P.
Do not change down to brake on
slippery roads.
Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never engage P or Rif the vehicle
is not stationary.
Do not allow children inside the
vehicle unsupervised when the
engine is running.
Operating programmes
You have a choice of three operating
programmes:
- Auto-adaptive (normal).
- Sport.
- Snow.
One press on button A or Bwill select
Sport or Snow respectively. The
selection is displayed on the instrument panel. Pressing the button a
second time will return to the autoadaptive (normal) programme.
Auto-adaptive programme
(normal)
Gear changes are carried out on the
basis of various parameters, such as:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- the vehicle’s load.
The gearbox continuously scans the
different programmes in the memory
and selects the one most suitable for
the driving conditions at any given
moment.
Sport programme
The Sport programme favours performance for sporty driving and more
dynamic acceleration.
Snow Programme
In position D the Snow programme
provides smooth driving suited to slippery roads in order to improve traction and stability. Starting is in 2nd
gear and changing down is at low
engine speeds.
Special operating features
During prolonged braking, the
gearbox changes down automatically,
so as to provide efficient engine
braking.
- If you take your foot off the accelerator suddenly (when you are
taken by surprise, for example), the
gearbox will not change up, so as to
improve safety.
-
When the engine is cold, the
gearbox automatically selects a
special programme which enables
the engine to reach its ideal temperature more quickly to decrease
pollution.
Kickdown
For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, press
the accelerator pedal down as far as
it will go. The gearbox will change
down automatically or stay in the gear
selected, up to maximum engine
speed.
