PRACTICAL INFORMATION
90 -

The electrical system of your vehicle is designed to operate with standard or optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical equipment or accessories in your vehicle, consult a CITROËN dealer.
Some electrical accessories or the way in which they are fi tted may have an adverse effect on the operation of your
vehicle (its electronic control circuits, the audio system and the electrical charging circuit).
CITROËN declines any responsibility for expenses incurred through the repair of your vehicle or for any malfunctions
resulting from the installation of auxiliary accessories, not supplied and not recommended by CITROËN and not installed in
accordance with its instructions, in particular for any equipment the power consumption of which exceeds 10 milliamps.
The maxi fuses provide additional protection for the electrical systems. Any work on these fuses must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer.

ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, with
the key in the "accessories" position,
certain functions (windscreen wiper,
electric windows, courtesy lights,
audio equipment, etc.) can only be
used for a combined duration of ap-
proximately thirty minutes, to prevent
discharging the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
switching to economy mode mes-
sage appears on the multi-function
display and the active functions are
put on standby.
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then
be double the duration for which the
engine is left running. However, this
period will always be between fi ve
and thirty minutes.
BATTERY

It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than
one month.



Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, you must wait 2 minutes
after switching off the ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal
when the engine is running.
Never charge a battery without fi rst
disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and the roof before
disconnecting the battery.
After every reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to allow the
electronic systems to be initialised. If
slight diffi culties are experienced af-
ter this, please contact a CITROËN
dealer.

A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting.
To start the vehicle from
another battery:


- Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive (+) terminals of the two bat-
teries,

- Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative (-) ter-
minal of the slave battery,

- Connect the other end of the
green or black cable to an earth
point on the broken down vehi-
cle as far as possible from the
battery (for example, right-hand
engine mounting).
Operate the starter, let the engine run.

Wait for the engine to return to idle,
then disconnect the cables.

To charge the battery using a
battery charger:


- Disconnect the battery,

- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger man-
ufacturer,

- Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive (-) terminal,

- Check that the terminals and
connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect
them and clean them.

For the attention of users of a vehicle adapted
to electric drive:

You have available the "Electric mode supplement"
which is provided with this Berlingo First document.
Refer to this supplement before using the vehicle
and most particularly before any connection is
made to charge the traction battery.
Ensure that the power socket you intend to use
is standard and compatible with the current rat-
ing (230 V alternating current - 10 A minimum). It
is recommended that in all cases this should be
checked by a skilled electrician.
You must only use the original charging cable and
without any extension lead.
The precautions are the same as for any electric
domestic appliance. Do not touch the metal end of
the normal socket nor that of the charging cable
(risk of malfunction and of electrocution).
