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 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.

TYPES OF SERVICE

Each vehicle has its own servicing cycle, defined by the manufacturer in accordance with each vehicle’s specific
technical features.
This cycle consists of alternating 2 types of service A and C, intermediate visits, and a few additional operations depending
on your vehicle ; these correspond to key stages in the life of your 306.
Services of type B are designed for less recent vehicles.
Your dealer will indicate the type and content of the next service when the first service is carried out, and at each sub-
sequent service.

If oil is used which does not conform to the ACEAA3-B3 standards, this requires the "Arduous conditions" servicing schedule to be followed, which involves shorter intervals between services

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.
