Motoring & the Environment
Berlingo-2-VU_en_Chap02_eco-conduite_ed02-2015
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 
emissions.
Eco-driving
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up 
without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference 
to automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator 
pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most 
suitable gear: as soon as the indication is displayed in the 
instrument panel, follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, 
this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine 
braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the 
accelerator progressively. These practices contribute 
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2 
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic 
noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system 
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is 
flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too 
warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents 
before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the 
air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep 
the temperature in the passenger compartment down 
(sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic 
regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not 
automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the 
level of light does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in 
winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia 
devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute 
towards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and 
so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

Motoring & the Environment
Berlingo-2-VU_en_Chap02_eco-conduite_ed02-2015
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest 
items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the 
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind 
resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). 
Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your 
summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to 
the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- 
before a long journey
 ,
-
 
at each change of season,
-
 
after a long period out of use.
d
on't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or 
caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil 
filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and 
observe the schedule of operations recommended in the 
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is 
faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the 
emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of 
the nozzle to avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 
1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel 
consumption settle down to a consistent average.

In practice
It is possible to drive with the right-
hand door open to make it easier to 
carry long loads. The left-hand door is 
kept closed by the distinctive "yellow" 
lock, positioned at the base of the door. 
This closed door must not be used as 
a load retainer.
d
riving with the right-hand door open 
is a special dispensation. Comply with 
the usual safety indications to warn 
other drivers.
HINGED REAR DOORS
From outside
Pull the lever to open the right-hand 
door.
To close, start with the right-hand door 
then close the left-hand door.
To open, pull the handle towards you. The hinged rear doors are 
asymmetrical (2/3 - 1/3), with the 
smaller door on the right.
They are fitted with a central lock. With the roof rear flap, the rear 
bumper has been reinforced to 
serve as a footrest when entering 
the vehicle.
Take care when a trailer is 
attached to the towball; opening 
the side-hinged rear doors may 
not be possible. You may have to 
detach the trailer.

REAR ROOF FLAP
Support bar
a support bar is provided for 
transporting long loads, after opening 
the rear roof flap.
Fold back the support bar by lifting the 
lever
.
Guide it to the door pillar.
Support the long loads to be 
transported, lift them and reposition the 
support bar with one hand.
Ensure that it is secured correctly by 
pressing the handle downwards past 
the point of resistance and secure the 
loads firmly. The rear bumper has been 
reinforced to serve as a footrest 
when entering the vehicle.
n
ever drive without the support 
bar in place.
The side supports can be used as 
hooking points.
-  
lower the black paddle to secure 
the rear roof flap.
Securing the rear roof flap places it on 
the seal correctly and ensures sealing 
without noise.
T
o close the rear roof flap:
-
 
check that the support bar is 
secured correctly
,
-
 
lower the rear roof flap,
-
 
while pressing the rear roof flap 
(downwards), take hold of the two 
loops of the spring then place the 
hook in its housing,
This rear roof flap is only compatible 
with side-hinged rear doors.
T
o open the rear roof flap:
-
 
raise the black paddle of the toggle,
-
 
relieve the toggle by pressing the 
rear roof flap (downwards) then 
release the hook,
-
 lift the rear roof flap,
-
 
pass the point of resistance to 
secure the rear roof flap using the 
support stays.
Never drive without the stays in place.
n
 ever attach any load to the rear roof 
flap.
The rear doors only lock when the 
support bar is installed.
When the rear roof flap is open, take 
care when driving where height is 
restricted.
n
ever rest loads directly on the rear 
doors.
Comply with the usual indications, to 
warn other drivers.
Reserve the use of the rear roof flap 
for short journeys.

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.
