Deactivation
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,
mud...), when it is not possible to move off, it
may be useful to temporarily deactivate the
systems, so that the wheels can spin freely and
regain grip.
F
P
ress this button, located on the left below
the steering wheel.
Illumination of the lamp in the button indicates
that the systems are deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on
or from 30 mph (50 km/h) except 1.6 litre
(THP
1

65, THP 155 and THP 150) and
PERFORMANCE petrol engines.
F
P

ress this button again to reactivate them
manually.
Operating fault
The DSC/ASR systems offer
exceptional safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations on:
-
w

heels (tyres and rims),
-
b

raking components,
-
el

ectronic components,
-
a

ssembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Illumination of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel and the lamp in the
button, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

During automatic closing of the roof
in zone A (position 2 to position 1 ) ,
pressing the control stops the roof.
 Between positions
2 and 1 , pressing the
control beyond the point of resistance
allows automatic closing of the roof to
position 1 .
 Between positions 1 and 0 , press and hold
the control until the roof closes fully.
Aero-acoustic deflector
An aero-acoustic deflector is available to
improve the acoustic comfort of occupants of
the vehicle in certain driving conditions (high
speed), by reducing the turbulence in the
passenger compartment resulting from the
displacement of air.
On opening the roof, the aero-acoustic
deflector may be deployed if it is not secured.
On closing the roof, the deflector folds away
automatically.  With the roof open, this deflector can be
folded away manually and secured at its
centre: press vertically down on the cross
member near the paddle at the top of the
deflector and clip this paddle in the cut-out.
 To release and deploy the deflector manually, press vertically down on the
cross member near the paddle to unclip
it from the cut-out and pull it gently
towards you.

DS3-Cabrio_en_Chap02_ouvertures_ed02-2015
Precautions for use
Never place objects on the roof, whether open or closed.
In the event of prolonged storage of the vehicle outside, it is recommended that the roof be
protected with a cover. To avoid damaging the roof, do not open it under snowy or frosty conditions.
Never use sharp tools to remove ice or accumulations of snow on the roof.
Never use scrapers or aerosol products to remove ice that may have formed on the rear
screen.
Avoid operating the heated rear screen when the roof is completely open (risk of
overheating).
To limit the creation of folds in the roof fabric, it is recommended that the roof not be left
open for long periods.
Operation of the vehicle's air conditioning system is not recommended while the roof is
open.
Never place objects on the transverse roof support when the roof is open.
It is recommended that the roof be closed when the vehicle is left parked.
Even if the roof is closed, it is prudent not to leave any valuable objects inside
the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, remove the ignition key to avoid any unwanted operation
of the roof.
If your vehicle has a voice command system, this may not work as well when driving with
the roof open.
Protection of the roof opening and closing electric motors: during repeated opening and
closing of the roof, the electric motors may become too hot and then no longer allow the
roof to be opened or closed. Allow the motors to cool down by not operating the roof for
ten minutes.
Reinitialisation
Do not release the control during the
reinitialisation procedure.
Operating
fault
In the event of an electrical fault,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the automatic roof operation mode is lost, the
system must be reinitialised.
 With the engine running
, press and hold
the control for closing the roof.
 After about 5 seconds, the roof closes completely to position 0 .
The roof is then reinitialised.
