FUEL GAUGEC OOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned before the
red zone: normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic conditions, the needle may
move close to the red graduations.What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.
What you should do if the warning
lamp comes on:
-

stop immediately
, switch off the
ignition. The fan may continue to
operate for a certain time, up to
approximately 10 minutes,
-
wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the coolant level and
top it up if necessary

.
As the cooling system is pressurised,
follow the procedure below to avoid the
risk of scalding:
-
wait at least one hour after
switching of

f the engine before
carrying out any work,
-
unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to
allow the pressure to drop,
-

when the pressure has dropped,
check the level in the header tank,
-
if necessary , remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red
zone, have the system checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Refer to chapter 7, "Levels"
section.

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning until HI is displayed.
o
n entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance to
reach the comfort value set.
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
Automatic operation
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system operating mode. Driver or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
d

o not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
The system controls the
distribution, the flow and the
intake of air to guarantee
comfort and a sufficient circulation
of air in the passenger compartment
according to the comfort value set. No
further action on your part is required. Air flow will increase gradually when
the engine is cold, to prevent excessive
distribution of cold air.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

Towing a trailer
Berlingo-2-VU_en_Chap06_accessoire_ed02-2015
For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
d

istribute 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.a s 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.

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.In order to regenerate the filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
d

uring regeneration of the particle
emission filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITR
o Ë n dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams, ...).
