 This   is   the   preferred  
operating

  position.
Pressing the button starts
the air conditioning system,
the
  LED   is   on.   Pressing   the  
button again switches the

  the   engine   running.
The
  LED   in   the   button   is   on.  
Recirculation temporarily
prevents exterior odours
and

  smoke   from   entering   the  
passenger

  compartment.
Used with the setting of the fan speed
(from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you
to attain the desired comfort level more
quickly
 
with   both   hot   or   cold   settings.
This
 
position   should   only   be   temporary.  
When your desired comfort level has
been

 
reached,   return   to   the   intake  
of exterior air position to permit
renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment

  and   avoid   misting.  
This
  is  
the

 
preferred   operating   mode.

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO  is   displayed   or   the   value   27   by  
turning

  until   HI   is   displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder
(or
  warmer)   than   is   comfortable.  
There
 
is no advantage in changing the value
displayed

  in   order   to   quickly   reach   the  
level

  of   comfort   required.  
The
  system  
will use its maximum performance to
reach

  the   comfort   value   set.
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

value
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or
  Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase   the   value.  
A 
setting  
around the value 21 provides
optimum

  comfort.   However,  
depending on your requirements, a
setting

  between   18   and   24   is   usual.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located   on   the   dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol
  is   displayed.
The system controls the
distribution,
  the   flow   and   the  
intake

  of   air   to   guarantee  
comfort

  and   a   sufficient   circulation  
of air in the passenger compartment
according

  to   the   comfort   value   set.   No  
further

  action   on   your   part   is   required.Air
  flow   will   increase   gradually   when  
the

engine is cold, to prevent excessive
distribution   of   cold   air.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle   is   started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually   (AUTO   is   cleared).

Driving safely
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND

DYNAMIC STABILITY

CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement  the  ABS.
The
ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on
  acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the
  wheels   skidding,   by   acting   on   the  
brakes

  of   the   drive   wheels   and   on   the  
engine.

  It   also   allows   the   directional  
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on

  acceleration.
Use the DSC to hold your course
without
  attempting   to   countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory
  followed   by   the   vehicle   and  
that required by the driver

, the DSC
system automatically acts on the
engine
  and   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
wheels,

  in   order   to   put   the   vehicle   back  
on

  course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting   the   vehicle   when   stuck   in   mud  
or

  snow,   or   on   loose   ground...),   it   could  
prove useful to deactivate the

ASR and
DSC
  systems   to   make   the   wheels   spin  
and

  regain   grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC   systems   offer   increased  safety during normal driving, but
should
  not   incite   the   driver   to   take   risks  
or

  to   drive   at   high   speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking
  components,   the   electronic  
components

  and   the   fitting   and   repair  
procedures

  are   observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked
  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the ASR or
DSC
  is   triggered.
They engage again:
-

automatically above 30 mph

(50
 
km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the LED come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen.
-

Press the button or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
-

 
The

 
LED   comes   on:   the  
ASR
  and  
DSC systems no longer come into
play

. -

manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending

  on   model).Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
  workshop   to   have   the   system  
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the

  tyres   are   under-inflated.   Check   the  
pressure

  of   each   tyre.

GRIP CONTROL
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit
  off-road   activities   such   as:
-

crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear of

f components (fuel pipe,
fuel
  cooler,   ...),   particularly   by  
obstacles or stones,
-


driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-

 
crossing
  a   stream.
On snow, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor
 
grip
 
to
 
be
 
accommodated.
The accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters
 
in
 
the
 
best
 
way.

Driving safely
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.

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.
Towing a trailer

149
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
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.
