DS 3: Safety / General safety recommendations
Do not remove the labels
attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For any work on your
vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required, all
of which a dealer is able to provide.
Depending on country
regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs, spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical
accessories:
The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories not approved by the Manufacturer may cause excessive current consumption and faults and failures with the electrical system of your vehicle. Contact a dealer for information on the range of approved accessories.
As a safety measure, access to the diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's electronic systems, is reserved strictly for authorised dealers or qualified workshops, equipped with the special tools required (risk of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic systems that could cause breakdowns or serious accidents). The Manufacturer cannot be held responsible if this advice is not followed.
Any modification or adaptation not intended or authorised by the Manufacturer or carried out without meeting the technical requirements defined by the Manufacturer will result in the suspension of the commercial warranty.
