ISOFIx MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the latest ISOFIX regulation.
The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat.
Two front rings A, located between
the vehicle seat backrest and cushion,
indicated
by a marking. A rear ring B,
located on the back
of
the vehicle's seat backrest, for
securing the upper strap referred to as
the
T
op
T
ether.
The Top Tether is used to secure the
upper strap of child seats that have
one.
This
arrangement limits the
forward tipping of the child seat in the
event
of a frontal impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system
guarantees you fast, reliable and safe
fitting of the child seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with
two latches which are secured on the
two front rings
A.
Some also have an upper strap which
is attached to the rear ring B. Follow strictly the instructions for
fitting
child seats contained in the
manufacturer's
installation guide.
To secure the child seat to the
Top Tether:
-
remove and stow the head restraint
before installin
g the child seat in
this seating position (refit it once
the child seat has been removed),
-
pass the upper strap of the child
seat over the top of the seat
backrest,
between the apertures for
the head restraint rods,
-
secure
the hook on the upper strap
to the rear ring,
-
tighten
the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
protection of the child in the event
of an accident.
Refer to the table for information on
the installation of ISOFIX child seats in
your vehicle.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
At the rear, always leave sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a rearward facing child seat,
-
the feet of a child seated in a
forward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward
and, if necessary, straighten its
backrest
as well.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection
in the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat
belt
buckle under the child seat, as this
could
destabilise the seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt
is well tensioned on the child seat
and that it is holding the child seat
firmly against the vehicle's seat. If the
passenger
seat is adjustable, move it
forward
if necessary. For the optimum installation of a
forward facing child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is as close as
possible
to the backrest of the vehicle's
seat,
or in contact if possible.
The head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest on the passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is
stowed or attached securely so that it
is not thrown around the vehicle in the
event of sharp braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the
child
seat is removed.Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on
the
front passenger seat is specific to
each
country. Refer to the legislation in
force
in your country.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag
when a rearward facing child seat is
installed
on the front seat.
Otherwise,
the child would risk being
seriously
injured or killed if the airbag
were
deployed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes
correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a
booster
seat which has a back, fitted
with
a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As
a safety precaution, never leave:
-
one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
-
the
keys within reach of children
inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors,
use the "Child Lock".
Take
care
not
to
open
the
rear
windows
by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear
windows.
For an installation in row 3, put the
backrests
of
the
outer
and
centre
seats in row 2 in the table position, or
remove these seats in row 2, so that
the child seat or the child's legs do not
touch
the
seats
in
row
2.

For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that
the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however
,
exceeding
it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the
engine speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant
temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox
in neutral.

Berlingo2VP_en_Chap06_Accessoire_ed02-2016
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 of
f to save engine
power.
Tyres
Check
the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer
, observing the
recommended
pressures.
Chapter
7, "Levels" section.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off 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
CITROËN towbars and their wiring
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the

If
this equipment is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer
, it is imperative that

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.
