MANUAL GEARBO x
5-speed
6-speed
To change gear easily, always depress 
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming 
caught under the pedal:
-
 
ensure that the mat is positioned 
and secured correctly on the floor
,
-
 
never fit one mat on top of another
 .
When driving, avoid leaving your hand 
on the gear knob as the force exerted, 
even if slight, may wear the internal 
components of the gearbox over time.
Changing into 5th or 6th gear
To engage the gear correctly, move the 
gear lever fully to the right. In the 6-speed configuration, raise the 
collar below the gear knob.

 WHEEL 
ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, 
release the steering wheel adjustment 
mechanism by pulling the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height 
and reach, then lock the mechanism by 
pushing the lever fully forward. The lever should be moved slowly 
to reduce noise.
To engage reverse gear, wait until the 
vehicle has come to a complete stop.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the 
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP 
mode - during stops in the traffic (red 
lights, traffic jams, or other...). The 
engine restarts automatically - START 
mode - as soon as you want to move 
off. The restart takes place instantly, 
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start 
system reduces fuel consumption and 
exhaust emissions as well as the noise 
level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp 
comes on in the instrument 
panel and the engine goes 
into standby:
-
 
with a manual gearbox
 , at speeds 
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you 
put the gear lever into neutral and 
release the clutch pedal,
-
 
with
  a 6-speed electronic 
gearbox, at speeds below 5 mph 
(8 km/h), when you press the brake 
pedal or put the gear lever into 
position N. If your vehicle is fitted with the system, 
a time counter calculates the sum of 
the periods in STOP mode during a 
journey. It rests itself to zero every time 
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With a 6-speed electronic 
gearbox, for your comfort during 
parking manoeuvres, STOP mode 
is not available for a few seconds after 
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the 
functionality of the vehicle, such as 
braking, power steering, for example.
n
 ever refuel with the engine in 
STOP mode; you must switch off 
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode 
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
 
the driver's door is open,
-
  
the driver's seat belt is not 
fastened,
-
  
the vehicle has not exceeded 
  
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last 
engine start using the key,
-  
the engine is needed to maintain 
a comfortable temperature in the 
passenger compartment,
-
  
demisting is on,
-
  
some special conditions (battery 
charge, engine temperature, 
braking assistance, ambient 
temperature...) where the engine 
is needed to assure control of a 
system.
In this case, the 
 "ECO" 
warning lamp flashes for a 
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Going into engine START modeThe "ECO" warning lamp 
goes off and the engine starts:
-
 
with a manual gearbox
 , when you 
fully depress the clutch pedal,
-
 
with
  a 6-speed electronic 
gearbox:
●
 
gear lever in position 
 A or M, 
when you release the brake 
pedal,
●
 
or gear lever in position 
 N and 
the brake pedal released, when 
you move the gear lever to 
position A or M,
●
 
or when you engage reverse 
gear
.
With a manual gearbox in STOP 
mode, if a gear is engaged without 
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a 
warning lamp comes on or a message 
is displayed asking you to depress the 
clutch pedal to restart the engine. Special cases: START invoked 
automatically
For your safety and comfort, START is 
invoked automatically when:
-
 
you open the driver's door
 ,
-
 
you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
 
the speed of the vehicle exceeds 
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual 
gearbox or 7 mph (1
1 km/h) with 
the 6-speed electronic gearbox 
system,
-
 
some special conditions (battery 
charge, engine temperature, 
braking assistance, ambient 
temperature...) where the engine 
is needed to assure control of a 
system.In this case the 
"ECO" 
warning lamp flashes for few 
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO 
OFF"   switch to deactivate the 
system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning 
lamp coming on accompanied by a 
message in the screen.
If the system has been deactivated 
in STOP mode, the engine restarts 
immediately.

HILL START  ASSIST
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal 
pressed, from the time you release 
the brake pedal, without using the 
parking brake, you have approximately 
2
  seconds to move off before the 
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the 
function is deactivated automatically, 
gradually releasing the braking 
pressure. During this phase, the 
characteristic noise of mechanical 
release of the brakes may be heard, 
indicating the imminent movement of 
the vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the 
following situations:
-
 
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
 
when the parking brake is applied,
-
 
when the engine is switched of
 f,
-
 
when the engine stalls. If a malfunction of the system 
occurs, this warning lamp 
comes on accompanied 
by an audible signal and 
confirmed by a message in 
the screen. Have the system checked 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
This system (also called HHC - Hill 
Holder Control), linked to the dynamic 
stability control system, makes hill 
starts easier and is activated in the 
following conditions:
-
 
the vehicle must be stationary
, 
engine running, foot on the brake,
-
 
the gradient of the road must be 
steeper than 5%,
-
 
uphill, the gearbox must be in 
neutral or in a gear other than 
reverse,
-
 
downhill, reverse gear must be 
engaged.
The Hill Start 
Assist system is a driving 
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle 
parking function or an automatic 
parking brake.

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.
