17Limit 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.
Don'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 nitrogen
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.
Driving 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.

Activation / DeactivationMalfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the LED
in the button comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in
the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or if a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).
You can activate or deactivate
the system by pressing this
button.
The activation or deactivation
of the system is stored when
the vehicle stops.
The parking sensor system
cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.
Engage forward gear
In addition to the rear parking sensors,
the front parking sensors are triggered
when an obstacle is detected in
front of the vehicle and the speed
of the vehicle remains below 6 mph
(10
km/h).The tone from the speaker (front
or rear) allows an obstacle to be
identified as either in front of or
behind the vehicle.
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral. You are advised to deactivate
the system if your vehicle is fitted
with a rear ladder or if you are
transporting a load which exceeds
the length of the vehicle.

Operating faults
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may
suffer interference from accumulations
of dirt or misting of the windscreen.
In this case you are warned by the
display of a message.
Use the windscreen demisting
and regularly clean the area of the
windscreen in front of the sensor.Do not stick or otherwise fix any
object on the windscreen in front
of the sensor. System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
system, you are warned by an audible
signal and the display of the message
"Automatic braking system fault".
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of an impact to
the windscreen at the sensor,
deactivate the system and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to
have your windscreen
replaced.
Never try to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop is able to work
on the system.
When towing a trailer or when the
vehicle is being towed, the system
must be deactivated.

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
Page 121 of 260

119
Berlingo2VU_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 off 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.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Parking sensors
The rear parking sensors system does
not function while the vehicle is towing.
