ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS / EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the
stability
and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle
on braking, in particular on
poor
or slippery surfaces.
The
ABS
prevents locking of the
wheels, the EBF
d provides control of
the
braking pressure wheel by wheel.If
this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an
audible
signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction
of the
ABS
which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle
on braking.
If
this warning lamp comes
on,
together with the brake
and
STOP
warning lamps,
accompanied
by an audible
signal
and a message in the
screen,
it indicates a malfunction of
the
electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the
vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSIST
ANCE (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure to be
reached
more quickly, press the pedal
firmly
without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake
pedal is pressed down.
This
alters the resistance of the brake
pedal
under your foot.
To
maintain operation of the
emergency
braking assistance system:
keep
your foot on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when
there
is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce
the braking distance.
o
n very slippery surfaces (ice,
oil, etc...)
the
ABS
may increase the
braking
distance. When braking in
an
emergency, do not hesitate to
press
the brake pedal firmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to
avoid an obstacle.
Normal
operation of the
ABS
may be
felt
by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims),
ensure that these are listed by
CITROËN
for the vehicle. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Berlingo-2-VP_en_Chap05_Securite_ed01-2016
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.

ACTIVE CITY BRAKE
Active City Brake is a driving assistance
system that aims to avoid
a frontal collision or reduce the speed
of
an impact if the driver does not
react
sufficiently (inadequate brake
application).
This
system is designed to
improve
driving safety.
It
remains the driver's responsibility to
continuously
monitor the state of the
traffic
and to assess the distances and
relative
speeds of other vehicle.
Active
City Brake can in no
circumstances
replace the need for
vigilance
on the part of the driver. Never
look at the laser sensor
through
an optical instrument
(magnifying
glass, microscope...)
at a distance of less than
10 centimetres:
risk of eye injury.Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top
of the windscreen, this system detects
a
vehicle running in the same direction
or
stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When
necessary, the vehicle's braking
system
is operated automatically
to avoid a collision with the vehicle
ahead.Automatic
braking occurs later
than if done by the driver
, so as
to intervene only when there is a
high
risk of collision.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following conditions are met:
●
ignition
on,
●
the
vehicle is in a forward gear,
●
speed
is between about 3 and
18 mph
(5 and 30 km/h),
●
the
braking assistance systems
(ABS,
EBFD, emergency braking
assistance) are not faulty
,
●
the
trajectory control systems
(
a SR, d SC) are not deactivated or
faulty,
●
the
vehicle is not in a tight corner,
●
the
system has not been triggered
during
the previous 10 seconds.

Berlingo-2-VP_en_Chap05_Securite_ed01-2016
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_ed01-2016
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.
