Welcome
This document describes the special
features relating to the presentation and
use of your DS 3 CABRIO.
Refer to the DS 3 owner's handbook for all
other descriptions and specifi cations, and
also to maintenance and warranty guide for
servicing information for your vehicle.

15Practical information
DS3-Cabrio_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed02-2015
Recommendations on the care of your vehicle
Remove bird droppings or tree resins
as their acidity may damage the roof.
To avoid damaging the roof, never use
a high pressure jet wash. Never use chemical products,
detergents, stain removers, solvents,
alcohol, petrol, ... to clean the roof.
The general recommendations on the care of your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Allow the vehicle to dry in a shaded
area and avoid direct exposure to
the sun. We recommend that you wash
your vehicle in an automatic roller car
wash. To remove marks, sponge them (but
never rub them) using soapy water,
then immediately rinse with clean
water.
To waterproof the roof, use only special
waterproofing products for fabric roofs.
Soft top
Before washing the soft top, first
remove as much dirt as possible from
the sur face using a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
For the regular maintenance of the
soft top and to conserve its original
appearance, we recommend an
ecological "Fly remover - Soft top roof
cleaner" from the "TECHNATURE"
range. To obtain this product go to a
CITROËN dealer.
Aero-acoustic deflector
We recommend that you clean the
aero-acoustic defector with care using
a soft brush.
