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.

PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
• For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30,000 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 service between each regular service.
The date of this service is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out every 9 000 miles (15 000 km) for
petrol 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 ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
APPROVED LUBRICANTS
The oils which appear in the table
opposite are suitable for most pur-
poses.
The diagram opposite states the
optimum range of viscosity depen-
ding 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 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.

CHILD SEATS
All children under the age of 10 are required to travel in approved child safety seats*,
fitted with seat belts.
After carrying out numerous tests, PEUGEOT recommend the following systems :
Up to 9 months (up to 22 lbs. or 10 kg)
«Baby Safe», a seat secured with its back to the engine and secured with a
three-point seat belt, on either the front or rear seat.
From 9 months to 3 or 4 years (20 to 40 lbs. or 9 to 18 kg)
«Römer Peggy» is fitted to the rear seat with a three-point belt.
For your child’s safety, the seat cushion and the tray must never be separated.
Over 3 or 10 years old (33 to 80 lbs or 15 to 36 kg)
“Klippan Optima” : is fitted in the rear with a three point belt (removable seatback).
from 33 to 55 lbs. [15 to 25 kg] : booster + seatback.
from 55 to 80 lbs. [25 to 36 kg] : use the booster on its own.
For maximum safety, fasten the three-point seat belts or the child seat straps keeping
the slack in relation to the child’s body to a minimum, even for short journeys.
Also, do not open the rear windows more than a third.
This was one of PEUGEOT’s main criteria when designing your vehicle, however
the safety of your children also depends on you. For maximum peace of mind,

ment panel. In such a case,
the gearbox will operate in down-
graded mode. You may feel a sub-
stantial knock when reverse is
selected from Pto R, or from Nto R
(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 hand-
brake and select position P.
Do not change down to brake on
slippery roads.
Never select position when theN
vehicle is moving.
Never engage if the vehicleP or R
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 B will select
Sport or Snow respectively. The selec-
tion is displayed on the instrument
panel. Pressing the button a second
time 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 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 perfor-
mance for sporty driving and more
dynamic 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 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 accel-
erator 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 tem-
perature 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.

DRIVING YOUR 306 CABRIOLET
AIRBAGS
FRONT AIRBAGS
The airbag system has been
designed to maximise the safety of
the occupants in the event of serious
collisions. It works in conjunction with
the seat belts.
The electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of the
vehicle; if the triggering threshold is
reached the airbags inflate instantly
and come between the occupants and
the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the
airbags deflate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants and their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The airbags are not deployed in the
case of collisions which are not
serious, for which the seat belt is suf-
ficient to ensure maximum protection.
The seriousness of a collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the
cushion 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.
They are deployed simultaneously
(except in cases where the airbag is
disarmed), for frontal impacts where
there is a risk of injury to the head or
chest.
DISARMING THE
PASSENGER AIRBAG
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger airbag when you install a
rearwards-facing child seat on the
front passenger seat.
Remove the ignition key, insert it into
the passenger airbag switch 1and
turn it to the “OFF” position.
– The airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the disarming process.
In the “OFF” position, the passenger
airbag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.

104
DRIVING YOUR 306 CABRIOLET
Passenger airbag precautions
Vehicle fitted with a passenger airbag
disarming switch:
- disarm the airbag
if you install a
rearwards-facing
child seat on the
front passenger
seat,
- arm the airbag
when you trans-
port an adult on
the front passen-
ger seat.
Vehicle not fitted with a passenger
airbag disarming switch:
- do not install a rear
wards-facing child seat
on the front passenger
seat.
Never place your feet or
any object on the fascia.
Monitoring of operation
This is by an indicator light on
the instrument panel.
If the passenger airbag is armed (pas-
senger airbag switch in the “ ” posi-ON
tion), the light will come on for
6 seconds when the ignition is
switched on.
If the passenger airbag is disarmed
(passenger airbag switch in the “OFF”
position), the light will stay on.
In any case, if the light flashes,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
SIDE AIRBAGS
These are incorporated into the front
seat backrest frame on the door side.
They are deployed independently of
each other depending on which side
the collision occurs, in collisions which
could cause injury to the chest, the
abdomen or the head.
This is by a light on the instrument
panel.
It comes on for 6 seconds, each time
the ignition is switched on.
Operating check

WARNING
For the front and side airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
• Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
• Sit in a normal upright position.
• Do not leave an accessory, or any other object between the occupants of the front seats and the airbags. It could
hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants.
• All work on the airbag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the PEUGEOT
network.
• After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked.
• The airbag systems have been designed to be fully operational for 10 years after the vehicle has been registered. Have
them replaced by a PEUGEOT dealer after this period.
• Front airbags
• Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
• Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
• Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
• Side airbags
• Never put covers on the front seats.
• Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat backrests. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side airbag
inflates.
• Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

Passenger airbag precautions
Vehicle fitted with a passenger airbag
disarming switch:
- disarm the airbag
if you install a
rearwards-facing
child seat on the
front passenger
seat,
- arm the airbag
when you trans-
port an adult on
the front passen-
ger seat.
Vehicle not fitted with a passenger
airbag disarming switch:
- do not install a rear
wards-facing child seat
on the front passenger
seat.
Never place your feet or
any object on the fascia.
Monitoring of operation
This is by an indicator light on
the instrument panel.
If the passenger airbag is armed (pas-
senger airbag switch in the “ ” posi-ON
tion), the light will come on for
6 seconds when the ignition is
switched on.
If the passenger airbag is disarmed
(passenger airbag switch in the “OFF”
position), the light will stay on.
In any case, if the light flashes,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
SIDE AIRBAGS
These are incorporated into the front
seat backrest frame on the door side.
They are deployed independently of
each other depending on which side
the collision occurs, in collisions which
could cause injury to the chest, the
abdomen or the head.
This is by a light on the instrument
panel.
It comes on for 6 seconds, each time
the ignition is switched on.
Operating check
If the indicator light:
– does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or,
– does not go out after 6 seconds or,
– flashes for 5 minutes then stays on,

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Engine
Checking the oil level
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes (maximum
consumption is 0.5 litres per
600 miles (1,000 km).
The oil level should be checked with
the vehicle level, engine cold.
There are two marks on the dipstick:
A = maximum.
B = minimum.
Oil change: according to the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule.
– Dipstick. Never fill past the
maximum mark A.
– Oil level gauge on the instrument
panel.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in accor-
dance with the maintenance schedule.
Used oil
Prevent used oil from coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil into drains
or into the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the use
of additives in the engine oil is pro-
hibited.
Brake fluid reservoir
– The level should always be above
the DANGER mark on the reservoir.
– If the level drops substantially,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change
– must be carried out according to the
manufacturer’s schedule.
– use fluids approved by the manu-
facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan-
dards.
Coolant reservoir
Use the fluid approved by the manu-
facturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan: because this fan
can operate with the ignition key
removed, and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at least
one hour after the engine has stopped
before carrying out any work.
If necessary, in a breakdown, slacken
the cap to the first notch to release the
pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped
remove the cap and top up the level.

of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town or for short
journeys or which are driven in a
sporty manner. It may be necessary
to check the thickness of the pads
even between services.
Manual gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Check the level according to the man-
ufacturer’s service schedule.

PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
• For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30,000 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 service between each regular service.
The date of this service is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out every 9 000 miles (15 000 km) for
petrol 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 ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 306 CABRIOLET
19
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 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.
