Good practice
Do not make any modifications to the 
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even 
when it is in your pocket, may result in 
involuntary unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other 
high frequency equipment (mobile 
telephones, domestic alarms…), may 
interfere with the operation of the 
remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate 
while the key is in the ignition, even if 
the ignition is off.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic 
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply 
system. It is activated automatically 
when the key is removed from the 
ignition.
a
fter the ignition is switched on, a 
dialogue is established between the 
key and the electronic immobiliser 
system.
The metal part of the key must be 
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue 
to take place.
If you lose your keys
Visit a CITR
o Ë n  dealer with the 
vehicle's V5 registration certificate and 
your identification document.
a CITR
o Ë n  dealer will be able 
to retrieve the key code and 
the transponder code so that a 
replacement key can be ordered.
Don't forget
When leaving the vehicle, check that 
the lighting is off and nothing of value 
is visible.
a
s a safety precaution (with children 
on board), remove the key from the 
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even 
for a short time.
When purchasing a second-hand 
vehicle, have the keys memorised by 
a CITR
o Ë n  dealer, so as to be sure 
that the keys in your possession are 
the only ones that can be used to start 
the vehicle.
ALARM
If fitted on your vehicle, this provides 
two types of protection:
-
 
exterior protection: it sounds if a 
front/rear door or the bonnet is 
opened.
-
 
interior protection: it sounds if 
the volume inside the passenger 
compartment changes (breaking of 
a window or a movement inside the 
vehicle).
If 
your vehicle is fitted with a separation 
partition, the interior protection is not 
active in the load space.
Locking the vehicle with 
complete alarm
Setting the alarm
- Switch of f the ignition and get out of 
the vehicle.
-
 
Set the alarm within five minutes of 
getting out of the vehicle, by locking 
or deadlocking using the remote 
control. 
The red LED, located in the 
button, flashes once per second.

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is 
confirmed by the switch warning 
lamp going off and a message in the 
instrument panel.The system is reactivated 
automatically at every new start 
using the key.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction 
with the system, the "ECO 
OFF" switch warning lamp 
flashes, then comes on 
continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, 
the vehicle may stall. All of the warning 
lamps in the instrument panel come 
on. It is then necessary to switch off 
the ignition and start the engine again 
using the key.
Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet, 
deactivate the Stop & Start system 
to avoid any risk of injury resulting 
from automatic operation of START 
mode.
This system requires a specific 
battery with a special specification 
and technology (reference numbers 
available from a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by 
CITROËN
  introduces the risk of 
malfunction of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes 
use of advanced technology. All 
work on this type of battery must 
be done only by a CITR
o Ë n  dealer or 
a qualified workshop.

Starting and switching off
Berlingo-2-VU_en_Chap03_Pret-a-partir_ed02-2015
Good practice when stopping Good practice when starting
Diesel pre-heating warning 
lamp
If the temperature is high 
enough, the warning lamp 
comes on for less than one 
second, you can start without 
waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning 
lamp to go off then operate the starter 
(Starting position) until the engine 
starts.
Door or bonnet open warning 
lamp
If this comes on, a door or the 
bonnet is not closed correctly, check!
Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the 
engine run for a few seconds to allow 
the turbocharger (
d iesel engine) to 
return to idle.
d
o not press the accelerator when 
switching off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear 
after parking the vehicle.
STARTING AND ST OPPING
Running and accessories position.
To unlock the steering, turn the 
steering wheel gently while turning the 
key, without forcing. In this position, 
certain accessories can be used.
Starting position.
The starter is operated, the engine 
turns over, release the key.
STOP position: steering lock.
The ignition is off. Turn the steering 
wheel until the steering locks. Remove 
the key.

Driving safely
Berlingo-2-VU_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.

OPENING THE BONNET
Bonnet stay
Secure the stay in its location, 
identified by a sticker on the right-hand 
side of the vehicle, to hold the bonnet 
open.
Before closing the bonnet, put the stay 
back in its clip without using excessive 
force.
On the outside
Raise the bonnet slightly by reaching 
in a flat hand, palm down, to make 
access to the lever easier.
With this hand, push the safety catch 
to the left. Raise the bonnet.
On the inside
Pull the lever below the dashboard 
towards you. The bonnet is released.
To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at the 
end of its travel. Check that the bonnet 
is secure.
avoid opening the bonnet in strong 
winds.
