DRIVING YOUR 306
THE ABS ANTI-LOCK
BRAKING SYSTEM*
In conjunction with tyres of an
approved make and in good condi-
tion, the ABS system with electronic
brake force distribution improves the
stability and handling of your vehicle,
particularly on an uneven or slippery
surface.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
In the event of emergency braking,
press very firmly without reducing
the pressure. In some conditions
the normal operation of the ABS
may be felt as vibrations of the
brake pedal.
Manual gearbox
The positions are indicated on the
gear lever knob.
Handbrake
Application
When you have parked the vehicle,
pull up the handbrake to apply it.
Reverse gear can only be engaged
from neutral when the vehicle is
stationary, with the engine idling.
To ease application and release of the
handbrake, press the brake pedal and
pull up the handbrake with the engine
running.
Power steering
This is a comfort device which offers
the best compromise for parking, and
for driving at high speeds.
Release
Press the button before releasing the
handbrake.
Special features of the six
speed
gearbox*
Raise the lock
ring under the
