FRONT AIRBAGS

Disarming the passenger airbag Insert the ignition key in switch 1

and turn it: – to the “ON” position, the pas-

senger airbag is armed

– to the “OFF” position, the pas-

senger airbag is not armed.

If the passenger airbag is armed or if your vehicle is not fitted with a passenger airbag, the warning light comes on for 6 seconds when the ignition is switched on.

If the passenger airbag is not armed, one of the warning lights remains on.

Always contact your PEUGEOT dealer if the warning light flashes.

THE REMOTE CONTROL

A single press on button A locks the doors and boot or tailgate.

Asingle press on button B unlocks the vehicle.

KEYS

Using the key in the driver’s door lock will lock or unlock the doors and boot or tailgate.

Passenger airbag precautions

For a vehicle fitted with a disarming switch:

– disarm the

airbag if you install a rearwards-facing child seat.

– arm the

airbag when an adult is in the seat.

For a vehicle not fitted with a disarming switch:

– do not install rear-wards-facing

child seats on the front passenger seat.

Never place your feet or any object on the fascia.

Operational Check

This is by means of the warning light on the instrument panel.

** According to model.

STARTING

The 4 positions of the key in the ignition:

“S” for STOP The ignition is off. “A” for AccessoriesThe ignition

is off but the accessories can be used.

“M” for Running The ignition is on.

“D’’ for Starting Operates the starter.

Steering lock

Before starting, unlock the steering if necessary, by gently turning the steering wheel at the same time as you turn the key.

It is advisable to press the clutch pedal while operating the starter to make starting easier.

Starting a petrol engine

Do not press the accelerator. Operate the starter, without

releasing the key, until the engine turns.

Starting a diesel engine

Do not press the accelerator.

Turn the key to position ‘‘M’’.

If the engine is warm enough, the pre-heat light does not come on and you can start immediately.

If the pre-heat light comes on, wait for it to go out before operating the starter.

HDI engine special feature

If the engine stalls, it is necessary to return the key to position ‘‘S’’ before restarting.

Never race a cold engine.

Never run the engine in a confined space.

Do not make any modifications to the steering lock.

YOUR 306 AT A GLANCE

Confidential card

This contains the identification combination which is required if any work is carried out on the system by a PEUGEOT dealer. This combination is concealed by a strip which must not be removed unless required.

Keep your card in a safe place, never in your vehicle.

ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER

This locks the engine control system a few moments after the ignition has been switched off and therefore prevents starting of the vehicle by anyone who has not got the key.

Operation

Each key has an electronic chip which has a special code.

When the ignition is switched on the key code is recognised and starting is possible.

If the key does not have a code or has a different code from that stored in the system memory, the vehicle will not start.

Additional key

You can store up to 5 keys in the memory.

If you require an additional key or wish to change a faulty key, you must visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the confidential card and all the keys in your possession.

When buying a second hand car: Ensure that you are given the confidential card. It is advisable to have the key codes memorised by a

PEUGEOT dealer to ensure that the keys in your possession

are the only ones which can start the vehicle. Do not make any modifications to the PEUGEOT electronic engine

immobiliser system.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 306

PEUGEOT SERVICING

Your vehicle benefits from extended service iintervals.

• For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30,000 km) or every two years

• For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20,000 km) or every two years.

• For indirect injection diesel engines: evey 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or every two years.

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.

That is why the PEUGEOT network is offering you an intermediate visit between each regular service. The date of this visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10 000 Miles

(15 000km) for petrol and twin-fuel engines; every 6 000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines and every 5 000 miles (7 500 km) for indirect injection diesel engines.

A Peugeot dealer will carry out a rapid check and top up fluids as necessary (oil, coolant, windscreen wash fluid to the 2 litre limit).

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 2,000 to 3,000 miles (3,000 to 5,000 km), depending on the conditions of use.

This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:

THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLYUSE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BYTHE MANUFACTURER.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 306

SPECIAL FEATURES

Some of your vehicle’s vital components have specific servicing schedules.

The airbags and the pretensioning seat belts must be replaced every 10 years. The brake fluid must be replaced every 36/40,000 miles (60,000 km) or every 2 years. The pollen filter must be checked at each visit to the PEUGEOT dealer (intermediate visits and regular services).

NB: the coolant does not need to be renewed.

Arduous conditions of use

If the vehicle is used under certain particularly arduous conditions:

• Continuous door-to-door use.

• Town use (e.g. taxi).

• Repeated short journeys, with the engine cold in low temperatures,

Or in long stays under the following conditions:

• Hot countries with temperatures often above 30 °C.

• Cold countries with temperatures often below minus 15 °C.

• Countries with a dusty atmosphere.

• Countries whose lubricants or fuels do not conform to our recommendations.

It is necessary to follow an “Arduous conditions” service schedule which includes special operations and shorter service intervals:

• Every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every year for petrol vehicles.

• Every 9,000 miles (15 000 km) or every year for Direct Injection Diesel engine vehicles.

• Every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) or every year for Indirect Injection Diesel engine vehicles.

YOUR 306 IN DETAIL

5 seconds after switching on the ignition the display resumes normal operation and shows the total and trip distances.

SERVICE INDICATOR

This is a reminder of when the next service is due in accordance with the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.

Operation

The spanner symbolising the service operations comes on for five seconds when the ignition is switched on. The total distance recorder displays the distance remaining (in round figures) before the next service.

When the distance remaining before the next service is less than 1000 km.

When a service is overdue. For five seconds after the ignition is

switched on, the service symbol and the excess distance flash.

Example: 4800 km remain before the next service is due. For five seconds after the ignition is switched on, the display shows:

5 seconds after switching on the ignition, the display resumes normal operation and the service symbol remains lit. The display shows the total and trip distances.

5 seconds after switching on the ignition, the display resumes normal operation and the symbol remains lit.

This indicates that a service should be carried out shortly. The display shows the total and trip distances.

Example: the service is overdue by 300 km The vehicle should be serviced very soon.

For five seconds after the ignition is switched on, the display shows:

Example: 900 km remain before the next service is due.

For five seconds after the ignition is switched on, the display shows:

Recommendations for approved lubricants

The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most purposes.

The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depending on the temperatures at which the oils are to be used.

It is also possible to use synthetic oils of ‘superior quality’.

In the absence of semi-synthetic or synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ quality (for petrol engines), or CD/CF quality (for diesel engines) may be used by following the ‘Arduous Conditions’ maintenance schedule which specifies shorter intervals.

Do not hesitate to ask for advice from a PEUGEOT dealer to maintain driving pleasure and to minimise the maintenance cost of your vehicle.

For countries outside Europe, please contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.
