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.

f the
engine
  as   soon   as   possible.Brakes
Towing
  increases   the   braking   distance.  Drive
  at   a   moderate   speed,   change  
down

  early   and   brake   gradually.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine CITRo Ë n towbars and their wiring
harnesses, which have been tested
and
  approved   from   the   design   stage   of  
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting

  of   this   equipment   to   a   CITROËN  
dealer

.
If
  this   equipment   is   not   fitted   by   a  
CITROËN

  dealer,   it   is   imperative   that  
it

  is   fitted   using   the   electrical   pre-
equipment
  installed   at   the   rear   of   the  
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's

  instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions
  a   reminder   of   which   has  
been given above, we draw your
attention

  to   the   risk   associated   with  
fitting

  a   towbar   or   electrical   accessory  
not

  recommended   by   CITROËN.  
Fitting

  such   equipment   could   result   in  
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system.

  Please   obtain   information   from  
the

  Manufacturer   before   fitting   this   type  
of

  equipment.

manufacturer's  servicing   schedule.
Use
  fluids   recommended   by   the  
manufacturer

,   which   meet   the   DOT4  
standard.
The

  level   must   be   between   the   MIN  
and

  MAX   marks   on   the   reservoir.
If
  fluid   has   to   be   added   frequently,  
this

  indicates   a   fault   which   must   be  
checked

  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or  
a

  qualified   workshop   as   soon   as

Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise,
  you   risk   seriously   damaging  
your

  engine.
When
  the   engine   is   warm,   the  
temperature

  of   the   coolant   is   controlled  
by

  the   engine   fan.  
As
  this   fan   can  
operate

  with   the   ignition   key   removed  
and

  because   the   cooling   system   is  
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying

  out   any   work.
Slacken
  the   cap   by   1/4   of   a   turn   to  
release the pressure to prevent any
risk

  of   scalding.   When   the   pressure  
has

  dropped,   remove   the   cap   and   top  
up

  the   level   with   coolant.
If
  fluid   has   to   be   added   frequently,  
this

  indicates   a   fault   which   must   be  
checked

  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   as  
soon

  as   possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground  with   the   engine   cold.   Unscrew  
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check

  the   level   which   must   be   between  
the

  MIN   and   MAX   marks. In
  order   to   regenerate   the   filter,   you  are advised to drive at a speed higher
than
  40   mph   (60   km/h)   for   at   least   five  minutes
  as   soon   as   possible,   when  
traffic

  conditions   permit   (until   the  
message

  disappears   and   the   service  
warning

  lamp   goes   off).
d

uring regeneration of the particle
emission
  filter,   the   noise   of   a   relay  
operating

  may   be   heard   under   the  
dashboard.
If

  the   message   is   still   displayed   and  
if

  the   service   warning   lamp   remains  
on, contact a CITR

o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop.
Topping up
The
 
level
 
must
 
be
 
between
 
the
 
MIN
 
and

 
MAX
 
marks
 
on
 
the
 
expansion
 
bottle.

 
If
 
more
 
than
 
1
 
litre
 
of
 
fluid
 
is
 
required to top up the level, have the
system

 
checked
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or

 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products   of   the   CITROËN   range.
For
  optimum   cleaning   and   to   avoid  
freezing,

  this   fluid   must   not   be   topped  
up

  or   replaced   with   plain   water.
Capacity
  of   the   screenwash   reservoir:  
approximately

  3   litres.
If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   headlamp  
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is

  6   litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This   additive   must   be   topped   up   by  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop

  without   delay.
Waste products
avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with   the   skin.
Brake
  fluid   is   harmful   to   health   and  
very

  corrosive.
Do
  not   dispose   of   used   oil,   brake   fluid  
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITR

o Ë n dealer (France) or
an
  authorised   waste   disposal   site.
The
 
minimum
 
level
 
of
 
this
 
additive
 
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning

 
lamp,
 
accompanied
 
by
 
an
 
audible

 
signal
 
and
 
a
 
message
 
in
 
the
 
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation

 
of
 
the
 
particle
 
filter
 
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving

 
conditions:
 
low
 
speed,
 
long

advise you not to use high
pressure washing to clean the engine
compartment.
After
  washing   the   vehicle   dampness,  
or

 
in
  winter,   ice   may   form   on   the   brake

REFUELLING
Low fuel level
Filling
The  fuel   tank   must   be   filled   with
the
engine off.
-
 
Open
  the   fuel   filler   flap.
-
 
Insert
  the   key,   then   turn   it   a   quarter  
turn.
-

 
Remove
  the   cap   and   hook   it   onto  
the clip located on the inside of the
flap.
When

  filling   with   fuel,  
a mechanical

  system   prevents  
opening

  of   the   left-hand   side   door.  
When

  the   fuel   filler   flap   is   open,   ensure  
that

  no   one   tries   to   slide   this   door.
Once
  the   flap   has   been   closed,   the  
sliding

  side   door   may   jam,   push   the  
door

  to   close   it   then   open   it.
When the low fuel level is
reached,
 
this
 
warning
 
lamp
 
comes

 
on. A
 

label   affixed   to   the   inside   of   the   flap  
reminds

  you   of   the   type   of   fuel   to   be  
used.
Y

ou   must   fill   with   at   least   5   litres   of   fuel  
for

  it   to   be   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
When
  the   fuel   filler   cap   is   opened,  
there

  may   be   a   slight   inrush   of   air.  
This
 
vacuum

  is   entirely   normal   and   is   due   to  
the

  sealing   of   the   fuel   system.
When
  filling   the   fuel   tank,   do   not  
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle.
 This
 
could
 
cause   malfunctions.
The
 
capacity
 
of
 
the
 
fuel   tank   is  
approximately

 
60
 
litres.
-
 
After

 
filling
 
the
 
fuel   tank,   lock   the  
cap

 
and
 
close
 
the   flap.
