For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
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.

Berlingo-2-VU_en_Chap06_Accessoire_ed02-2014
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
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.

markings" section.

REMOVABLE SNOW SCREEN
According to country, the removable
snow screen is installed on the lower
part of the front bumper to prevent the
accumulation of snow at the radiator
cooling fan.
Do not forget to remove the snow
screen when the exterior temperature
is higher than 10°C (no risk of snowfall)
and when towing.

6. Refitting the repaired wheel
The wheel is refitted as described in
step 5, not forgetting to refit the wheel
trim.
Refer to the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 9 to
locate the tyre label.
Refer to the "Instruments and
controls" section of chapter 3,
"Tyre under-inflation detection"
part, for recommendations after
changing a wheel fitted with a tyre
under-inflation detection sensor.
The spare wheel is not designed
to be used over long distances.
Have the tightening of the bolts
and the tyre pressure checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

CHANGING A FUSE
The fuseboxes are located:
-
in the lower dashboard on the left-
hand side (behind the cover),
-


under the bonnet (near the battery).
If fitted on your vehicle, an additional
fusebox is used for towing, the
towbar and the connections for
the coachbuilder and platform cab
modifications. It is located on the right
behind the load retaining partition.
The indications communicated
are only those fuses which can be
changed by the user using the tweezer

,
located behind the dashboard storage
compartment on the right-hand side.
For any other work, visit a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Removing and fitting a fuse
Always replace a failed fuse with a
fuse of the same rating.
CITR
o Ë n will not accept responsibility
for the cost incurred in repairing
your vehicle or for rectifying the
malfunctions resulting from the
installation of accessories not
supplied and not recommended by the
CITROËN network and not installed
in accordance with its instructions,
in particular when the combined
consumption of all of the additional
equipment connected exceeds
10 milliamperes.
Motor trade technicians: for
complete information on the fuses
and relays, refer to the "Repair
manual" diagram via the dealer
network. Before replacing a fuse, the cause
of the incident must be found and
