2 Adjusting the temperature
Turn the knob  2to the blue zone (cold) or to the red zone (hot).
3 Adjusting the air distribution
To direct the hot or cold air, turn the knob  3to the desired position. 4 Adjusting the air flow 
Turn the knob

flow.
Entry of outside airThis is the normal operating position. Recirculation of interior air This position prevents the 
entry of outside air. Used at the same time as the
air conditioning, this will improve air conditioning performance. Used on its own, it prevents the entry of outside air (dust, unpleasantodours) but there is a risk of misting ofthe windows. 
Avoid continuous operation in interior air recirculation mode. Important precautions: Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes once or twice amonth to keep it in good working
order. It is advisable to change the air con- ditioning system fluid every two years. 
If the system is not producing cold air, stop using it and contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer.

DRIVING  YOUR  306  CABRIOLET101
Any disruption of the system is signalled by theflashing of the Sport andSnow lights on the instru-ment panel. In such a case,
the gearbox will operate in down-
graded mode. You may feel a sub-stantial knock when reverse isselected from  Pto  R, or from  Nto  R
(without any risk of damage to thegearbox).  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 evenwithout 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 onslippery roads. Never select position  Nwhen the
vehicle is moving.Never engage  Por  Rif the vehicle
is not stationary. Do not allow children inside the vehicle unsupervised when theengine is running.
Operating programmes 
You have a choice of three operating programmes: 
- Auto-adaptive (normal).
- Sport.
- Snow.One press on button 
Aor  Bwill select
Sport or Snow respectively. The selec- tion is displayed on the instrumentpanel. Pressing the button a secondtime 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 vehicleÕs load.The gearbox continuously scans the 
different programmes in the memoryand selects the one most suitable forthe driving conditions at any givenmoment. Sport programme The Sport programme favours perfor- mance for sporty driving and moredynamic 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 2ndgear and changing down is at lowengine speeds. Special operating features During prolonged braking, the 
gearbox changes down automatically,
so as to provide efficient enginebraking. 
- If you take your foot off the accel- erator suddenly (when you are taken by surprise, for example), thegearbox will not change up, so as to
improve safety.
-When the engine is cold, thegearbox automatically selects aspecial programme which enablesthe engine to reach its ideal tem-perature more quickly to decrease pollution.
Kickdown For immediate maximum acceleration 
without touching the gear lever, pressthe accelerator pedal down as far as
it will go. The gearbox will changedown automatically or stay in the gearselected, up to maximum enginespeed.
