Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During a cceleration c hange u p e arly.

Practical information

Access2
DS3-Cabrio_en_Chap02_ouvertures_ed02-2015
Soft top
Your vehicle is fitted with an electric soft top roof. The roof is opened and closed by pressing
the control at the interior lamp, in the opening
direction 1 and in the closing direction 2 .
Electric opening
and closing

3Access
DS3-Cabrio_en_Chap02_ouvertures_ed02-2015
In order to maintain the state of charge
of the battery, it is recommended that the
roof be operated with the engine running .
Operation of the roof is possible:
- engine running, or
- ignition on.
During operation of the roof with just
the ignition on, starting the engine may
cause the roof to stop, depending on
the state of charge of the battery. To
have the roof continue the operation,
operate the control again after the
engine has started.
Operating zones
There are two operating zones:
Zone A : horizontal operating zone, in manual
or automatic mode.
Zone B : vertical operating zone, in automatic
mode only.
Before operating the roof, ensure that no occupant of the vehicle or person outside the
vehicle could be subject to any risk related to the movement of the roof or the rear screen
and that no object could inter fere with the operation.
Roof positions
Position 0 : Roof completely closed.
Position 1 : Stop position for automatic roof
closing.
Position 2 : Roof open horizontally.
Position 3 : Roof completely open.

Access4
DS3-Cabrio_en_Chap02_ouvertures_ed02-2015
Opening
Manual mode Automatic mode
During automatic operation of the roof
in zone A , pressing the control stops
the roof.
Opening of the roof in zone
B can only be done in automatic mode.  In zone
A , press the control beyond the
point of resistance to begin opening the
roof.
 In zone
A , press and hold the control
without passing the point of resistance to
open the roof.  The roof stops as soon as you release the
control.

5Access
DS3-Cabrio_en_Chap02_ouvertures_ed02-2015
During complete opening of the roof,
the rear screen comes down onto the
rear shelf. Ensure that no object is left
on the shelf which might damage the
rear screen or the roof.
Automatic opening of the roof in zone B
is not possible if the boot is open.
In the event of a problem, check that
the boot is fully closed . During an operation in zone
B , an
instruction to stop the roof is not
possible.
Pressing the control reverses the
direction of movement of the roof,
whichever direction the control is
pressed.
This "anti-panic" function allows a quick
change in direction of movement of the
roof if suddenly required.
 Release the control: opening of the roof
continues up to the maximum horizontal
position (position 2 ).  In zone
B , a press on the control opens the
roof completely (position 3 ).
Closing
Manual mode
 In zone A , press and hold the control
without passing the point of resistance
to close the roof.
