The LEd in the button is
of f.  This   is   the   preferred  
operating

  position.
Pressing the button starts
the
  air   conditioning   system,  
the

  LED   is   on.   Pressing   the

The air conditioning does not operate if
the
  fan   speed   is   set   to   0.
The air conditioning can only operate
with
  the   engine   running.
The
  LED   in   the   button   is   on.  
Recirculation

  temporarily  
prevents exterior odours
and

  smoke   from   entering   the  
passenger

  compartment.
Used with the setting of the fan speed
(from
 
1
 
to   4),   recirculation   enables   you  
to

 
attain
 
the   desired   comfort   level   more  
quickly

 
with   both   hot   or   cold   settings.
This
 
position   should   only   be   temporary.  
When

 
your   desired   comfort   level   has  
been

 
reached,   return   to   the   intake  
of

 
exterior   air   position   to   permit  
renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment

  and   avoid   misting.  
This
  is  
the

 
preferred   operating   mode.

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger  compartment,   it   is   possible  
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO

  is   displayed   or   the   value   27   by  
turning

  until   HI   is   displayed.
o

n entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature
  may   be   much   colder  
(or
  warmer)   than   is   comfortable.  
There
 
is no advantage in changing the value
displayed

  in   order   to   quickly   reach   the  
level

  of   comfort   required.  
The
  system  
will

  use   its   maximum   performance   to  
reach

  the   comfort   value   set.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND

DYNAMIC STABILITY

CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement  the  ABS.
The
 
ASR
  system   is   very   useful   for  
maintaining

  optimum   drive   and  
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on

  acceleration.
The
  system   optimises   drive   to   prevent  
the

  wheels   skidding,   by   acting   on   the  
brakes

  of   the   drive   wheels   and   on   the  
engine.

  It   also   allows   the   directional  
stability

  of   the   vehicle   to   be   improved  
on

  acceleration.
Use the
d SC to hold your course
without
  attempting   to   countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory
  followed   by   the   vehicle   and  
that required by the driver

, the d SC
system
  automatically   acts   on   the  
engine

  and   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
wheels,

  in   order   to   put   the   vehicle   back  
on

  course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting   the   vehicle   when   stuck   in   mud  
or

  snow,   or   on   loose   ground...),   it   could  
prove useful to deactivate the a

SR and
DSC
  systems   to   make   the   wheels   spin  
and

  regain   grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC   systems   offer   increased  safety
  during   normal   driving,   but  
should

  not   incite   the   driver   to   take   risks  
or

  to   drive   at   high   speed.
The
  operation   of   these   systems   is  
ensured

  if   the   recommendations  
of

  the   manufacturer   regarding  
the

  wheels   (tyres   and   rims),   the  
braking

  components,   the   electronic  
components

  and   the   fitting   and   repair  
procedures

  are   observed.
After
  an   impact,   have   these   systems  
checked

  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the a SR or
DSC
  is   triggered.
They engage again:
-
 
automatically
  above   30   mph  
(50
 
km/h), When
  a   malfunction   of   the  systems
  occurs,   the   warning  
lamp

  and   the   LED   come   on,  
accompanied

  by   an   audible  
signal

  and   a   message   in   the  
screen.
-


Press the button or turn
the dial to the

d SC o FF
position (depending on
model).
-
 
The

 
LED   comes   on:   the  
ASR
  and  
DSC

 
systems   no   longer   come   into  
play

. -
 
manually
  by   pressing   the  
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending

  on   model).Contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop   to   have   the   system  
checked.
The

  warning   lamp   may   also   come   on   if  
the

  tyres   are   under-inflated.   Check   the  
pressure

  of   each   tyre.

GRIP CONTROL
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive
  on   tarmac   roads   but   it   allows   you  
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally

.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit
  off-road   activities   such   as:
-

crossing and driving on ground
which

  could   damage   the   underbody  
or

  tear   off   components   (fuel   pipe,  
fuel

  cooler,   ...),   particularly   by  
obstacles or stones,
-


driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-

 
crossing
  a   stream.
On
 
snow,
 
mud
 
or
 
sand,
 
traction
 
control
 is
 
obtained
 
by
 
a
 
compromise
 
between
 
safety

, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.
It
 
adapts
 
to
 
allows
 
most
 
conditions
 
of
 
poor

 
grip
 
to
 
be
 
accommodated.
The
 
accelerator
 
pedal
 
must
 
be
 
pressed
 
enough for there to be adequate
engine

 
power
 
to
 
manage
 
the
 
various
 
parameters

 
in
 
the
 
best
 
way.

Berlingo-2-VP_en_Chap05_Securite_ed02-2015
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly  the   system   automatically  
applies

  the   brakes   to   avoid   a   collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
  brake   lamps   on   your   vehicle   come  
on

  to   warn   other   road   users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically
  if   the   difference   in  
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle

  ahead   does   not   exceed   9   mph  
(15 km/h).
Above

  this   threshold,   the   system   will  
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The

  automatic   braking   may   bring  
the

  vehicle   to   a   complete   stop   if   the  
situation

  requires   it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary
  temporarily   (for   about  
1.5 seconds)

  to   allow   the   driver   to   take  
back

  control   by   pressing   the   brake  
pedal. The

  triggering   of   the   system   may  cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedal
  quickly   enough   during   automatic  
braking.
During

  automatic   braking,   the  
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled

  by   the   system,   by   pressing  
firmly

  on   the   brake   pedal.
After
  an   impact,   the   system   is  
automatically

  put   out   of   service:   it  
no

  longer   operates.
You
  must   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop   to   have   the   system  
made

  operational   again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are  stationary   or   moving   in   the   same  
direction

  as   your   vehicle.
It
  does   not   detect   small   vehicles  
(bicycles,

  motorcycles),  
pedestrians

  or   animals,   nor   non-
reflective
  stationary   objects.
The
  system   is   not   triggered   or   is  
interrupted

  if   the   driver:
-

accelerates strongly
-


or turns the steering wheel
suddenly

  (avoiding   manoeuvre).
In
  difficult   weather   conditions   (very  
heavy

  rain,   snow,   fog,   hail...),  
braking

  distances   increase,   which  
can

  reduce   the   ability   of   the   system   to  
avoid

  a   collision.
The
  driver   must   therefore   remain  
particularly

  vigilant.
Never
  leave   accumulations   of  
snow

  or   any   object   projecting  
above the bonnet or in front of
the

  roof:   this   might   fall   into   the   field   of  
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.

Towing a trailer
Berlingo-2-VP_en_Chap06_Accessoire_ed02-2015
For more information about weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter  9,   "Weights"   section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
d

istribute the load in the trailer so
that
  the   heaviest   objects   are   as  
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum

  authorised   without,   however,  
exceeding

  it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
  coolant   temperature.a s the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the
  engine   speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your
  speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant
  temperature.
Driving advice
A towed   vehicle   must   free   wheel:  gearbox
  in   neutral.

Towing a trailer
Berlingo-2-VP_en_Chap06_Accessoire_ed02-2015
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use  (towing   the   maximum   load   up   a  
steep

  slope   in   high   temperatures),   the  
engine

  automatically   limits   its   power.  
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically

  cut   off   to   save   engine  
power

.
Tyres
Check
  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  
vehicle and of the trailer

, observing the
recommended
  pressures.
Chapter
  7,   "Levels"   section.
If
  the   coolant   temperature  
warning

  lamp   comes   on,   stop  
the vehicle and switch of
