2019 CITROEN BERLINGO VAN brake

159
If the camera has confirmed
the presence of a vehicle or a
pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes (for about 10 seconds) once
the function is acting on the vehicle's
brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from
starting off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning
the steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for 1
to 2

seconds.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground and the edges of the road (depending
on version), the system corrects the trajectory
of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it
detects a risk of involuntarily crossing a line or
roadside (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with both
hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-free.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the driver’s own
vigilance. The driver must remain in control
of the vehicle under all circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
in. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows control
to be maintained in circumstances where
the system is not able to inter vene (if lane
markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system,
you are alerted by the continuous
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
If these warning lamps come
on after the engine has been
switched off and restarted, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
- The vehicle's speed must be between 6 mph
and 53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) when a
moving vehicle is detected.

Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F

F

provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31
mph
(50


km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.

Towing device
Load distribution
F D istribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as
possible to the axle, and the nose weight
approaches the maximum permitted
without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for
every 1,000
metres of altitude. Use towing devices and their original
harnesses approved by CITROËN. It is
recommended that the installation be
per formed by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
deactivated if an approved towing device
is used.
Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label and in the Technical data
section of
this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.

Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid
between two services.
To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around the
cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Engine oil change
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil. The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
Tank capacity:
-
5 .3 litres for the "very cold climate" versions.
- 2 .2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with a
ready for use mix.

Particle filter (Diesel)
orThe start of saturation of the particle
filter is signalled by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message warning
of the risk of the filter clogging up.
Traffic conditions permitting, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least
37
mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For all information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between two
services.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
specific check. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey.
7
Practical information

192
The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10
kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime. Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment. The AdBlue
® is contained in
a special tank holding about
17


litres.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reser ve level is reached: you can then drive
for a further 1,500

miles (2,400 km) before the
tank is empty.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators , refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
r
equired by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a running distance of
685

miles (1,100

km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
