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 CABRIOLET

PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals:
• Every 20 000 miles (30 000km) or every 2 years for petrol engines.

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.

It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of mind, that your PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a levels check
and top-up midway between each routine service, at the time or distance intervals specified.

This will be undertaken free of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within the
Peugeot network. At the same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a PEUGEOT Safety Check, for a nominal fee.

A PEUGEOT professional will carry out a quick check and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolant
and screen wash).

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 1 500 miles
(2 500km), depending on the conditions of use.

The date of the intermediate visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10 000 miles
(15 000km) for petrol engines.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 306 CABRIOLET

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 during each regular service at the PEUGEOT dealer.

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.
