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

Practical information

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.

Access6
DS3-Cabrio_en_Chap02_ouvertures_ed02-2015
Automatic mode
 In position 3 , press the control to begin
closing the roof.
When the roof is completely open,
the rear screen rests on the rear
shelf.
Do not place any object on the rear
screen.
Closing the roof in zone B can only be
done in automatic mode. Complete closing of the roof in zone
A
can only be done in manual mode.
Press and hold the control until the roof
is heard to lock.
If the roof does not lock correctly,
operate the control again with the
engine running.
If the problem persists, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
 Release the control: closing of the roof
continues up to position 2 .
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 in the event if suddenly required.
If the roof does not lock correctly, operate
the control again with the engine running.
If the problem persists, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
 The roof stops as soon as you release the
control.
 To close the roof completely, press and hold the control until the the roof is heard
to lock.

7Access
DS3-Cabrio_en_Chap02_ouvertures_ed02-2015
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.
