2019 CITROEN BERLINGO VAN flat battery

188
Practical information
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain
functions, such as the air conditioning and the
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Link size: (mm) 195/65 R15 9
205/60 R16
205/55 R17
215/65 R16
215/60 R17 Cannot be fitted with
chains
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►


Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Very cold climate screen
(Depending on country of sale)
This removable device prevents the
accumulation of snow around the radiator
cooling fan.

215
In the event of a breakdown
8circumstances be discarded with household
waste.
Dispose of used batteries at a designated
collection point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be carried
out in a well ventilated area and away from
naked flames and sources of sparks, to avoid
any risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Electric motor
Flat accessory battery
It is no longer possible to start the motor
or recharge the traction battery.
Precautions before working on the
accessory battery
Select mode
P, switch off the ignition, check
that the instrument panel is off and that the
vehicle is not being charged.
Jump-starting another vehicle
Do not use the accessory battery to
jump-start another vehicle or to charge
another vehicle's battery.
Symbols
No sparks or naked flames, no smoking.
Always protect your eyes. Explosive gases can cause blindness and injury.
Keep the vehicle's battery out of the reach
of children.
The vehicle's battery contains sulphuric acid which can make you go blind or
cause severe burns.
For more information, refer to the
handbook.
Explosive gases can be present close to
the battery.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
► Open the bonnet using the interior release
lever
, then the exterior safety catch.
►

Secure the bonnet stay
.


The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
There is a remote earth point near the battery.
For more information on the Bonnet and
the Engine , refer to the corresponding
sections.
Starting using another
battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup battery
has a nominal voltage of 12
V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.

216
In the event of a breakdown

► Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery
B or of the
booster.
►

Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery

B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►

Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point


C
.
►

Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
►


Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start immediately

, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
►

W
ait for it to return to idle.
►

Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
►


Allow the engine to run for at least
30

minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that
the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
Driving immediately without having
reached a sufficient level of charge may
affect some of the vehicle's functions (e.g.
Stop & Start).
To disconnect, proceed in reverse order.
Automatic gearbox
Never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–

When using the vehicle mainly for short
journeys.
–


If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, use only a charger compatible with
lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of
12 V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
►

Switch the ignition off.
►


Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).


► Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►

Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
►


Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►


Connect the cables of charger B

as follows:

218
In the event of a breakdown
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise
certain equipment:
–
Remote control key or electronic key
(depending on version).
–


Electric windows.
–


Date and time.
–


Preset radio stations.
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be available
again after a continuous period with the
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).
Towing
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for
towing another vehicle using the towing eye.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Check that the towing vehicle is heavier than
the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground, always use an approved towbar;
ropes and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
A professional recovery service must
be called in the following cases:
–

broken down on a motorway or main road;
– not possible to put the gearbox into neutral,
unlock the steering, or release the parking
brake;
–

not possible to tow a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox, with the engine running;
–


towing with only two wheels on the ground;
–


four-wheel drive vehicle;
–


no approved towbar available.
Before towing the vehicle, it is essential
to put the vehicle in free-wheeling mode.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer
to the corresponding section.
Electric motor
An electric vehicle cannot under any
circumstances be used to tow another
vehicle.
However, it may be used, for example, to exit
a rut.

selector into position N.
Failure to adhere to this instruction may lead
to damage to braking system components
and the lack of braking assistance on
restarting the engine.
