change wheel Citroen BERLINGO 2012 2.G Owner's Manual

16

Limit 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 refi t 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 fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is
only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Instruments and controls



Puncture

The STOP warning lamp comes on.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of the
steering wheel and the brakes.
Make a temporary repair to the tyre
using the puncture repair kit or by
fi tting the spare wheel.
Change the damaged wheel, and have
the tyre pressures checked as soon as
possible.

Sensor(s) fault or not detected

The Service warning lamp comes on.
When changing a wheel or in the
event of a sensor fault, the tyre
pressure is no longer monitored.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fi tted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
If when changing a tyre, you fi t a
wheel not detected by your vehicle
(for example: fi tting snow tyres), you
must have the system reinitialised
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.



TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION EMISSIONS CONTROLS
Deflated tyre

The Service warning lamp comes on.
Following a warning, the under-infl ation
of the tyre will not necessarily be
visible.
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible.
Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
section of chapter 7.
If the damaged wheel is replaced by
one without a sensor (for example,
the spare wheel), the message
is maintained to indicate that the
pressure of the wheel cannot be
monitored, so providing a reminder that
the damaged wheel with sensor must
be repaired. Sensors continuously monitor the tyre
pressures and trigger a warning in the
event of under-infl ation, a puncture or
a fault with a sensor. EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
concerning authorised
emissions of:


- CO (carbon monoxide),

- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
The driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specifi c warning
lamp in the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the
catalytic converter. Have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Any anomaly is indicated
by visual and audible
information and is
accompanied by a
message in the screen.

Good practice

This system does not avoid the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (including the spare
wheel), to ensure that the dynamic
performance of the vehicle remains at
its best and to avoid premature wear
of the tyres, in particular in the case of
heavy loads and high speeds.
Observing the recommended tyre
pressures helps reduce the vehicle's
fuel consumption.
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to that
used by it.

To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on the gear knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR


In order to drive as fuel
effi ciently as possible with a
manual gearbox, this indicator
lamp indicates to the driver
when to change up.
The driver remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow this
indication, since the indicator lamp
comes on without taking into account
the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety factors.
The system cannot be deactivated.


When reverse gear is engaged
and when changing down whilst
decelerating, the function is not active.



Engaging reverse

To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle is stationary then push the gear
lever to the right then back.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear.

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 (see the
"Identifi cation markings" section of
chapter 8) and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures. See the "Levels" section of chapter 6. 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.

Changing a wheel



1. PARKING THE VEHICLE



- The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait in a safe location.

- If possible, park the vehicle on
level, stable and non-slippery
ground.

- Apply the parking brake, switch
off the ignition and engage fi rst or
reverse gear.
- If available, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
one to be changed.
If the vehicle is fi tted with a towbar,
it is sometimes necessary to raise
the vehicle slightly to make it easier
to remove the spare wheel from its
carrier.
On certain types of ground and/or
if considerable loads are being
transported, call a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
