ELECTRIC WINDOWS
Lower the window fully, then raise it, it 
will  rise   in   steps   of   a   few   centimetres  
each
  time   the   control   is   pressed.  
Repeat the operation until the window 
is
  fully   closed.
Continue to press the control for at 
least one second after the window 
closed
  position   has   been   reached.
The safety anti-pinch does not operate 
during
  these   operations.
Safety anti-pinch
When the window rises and meets an obstacle,  it   stops   and   partially   lowers.
Manual mode
This mode is available depending  on   equipment;   it   is  
identified
  by   this   symbol   on   the  
control
  in   question.
Good practice
If the electric windows meet an obstacle  during   operation,   you   must  
reverse
  the   movement   of   the   window.  
T
o  
do
  
this,
  
press
  
the
  
control
  
concerned.
When the driver operates the 
passenger electric window controls, 
they
  must   ensure   that   no   one   is  
preventing correct closing of the 
windows.
The
  driver   must   ensure   that   the  
passengers use the electric windows 
correctly
.
Be aware of children when operating 
the
  windows.
Following
  several   consecutive   closing/
opening operations of the electric 
window
  control,   a   protection   system  
is triggered which only allows closing 
of
  the   window.  
After
   closing,   wait  
approximately
  40   minutes.   Once   this  
time
  has   elapsed,   the   control   becomes  
operational
  again.

The audible (front and rear) and visual 
(rear)  parking   sensor   system   consists  
of
  proximity   sensors,   installed   in   the  
rear
  bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which 
enters
  its   field   of   operation:   person,  
vehicle, tree, fence, behind the vehicle 
during
  the   manoeuvre.
Certain
  objects   detected   at   the  
beginning
  of   the   manoeuvre   will   no  
longer be detected at the end of the 
manoeuvre
  due   to   the   blind   spots  
between
  and   below   the   sensors.
Examples:
  stake,   roadworks   cone   or  
pavement

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM 
(ABS / EBFD)
The ABS   and   EBFD   (electronic   brake  force
  distribution)   systems   improve   the  
stability
  and   manoeuvrability   of   your  
vehicle
  on   braking,   in   particular   on  
poor
  or   slippery   surfaces.
The
 
ABS
   prevents   locking   of   the  
wheels, the EBF
d  provides control of 
the
  braking   pressure   wheel   by   wheel.If
  this   warning   lamp   comes  on,
  accompanied   by   an  
audible
  signal   and   a   message  
in the screen, it indicates a 
malfunction
  of   the  
ABS
   which  
could result in a loss of control of the 
vehicle
  on   braking.
If
  this   warning   lamp   comes  
on,
  together   with   the   brake  
and
  STOP
 
 warning   lamps,  
accompanied
  by   an   audible  
signal
  and   a   message   in   the  
screen,
  it   indicates   a   malfunction   of  
the
  electronic   brake   force   distribution  
which could result in a loss of control of 
the
  vehicle   on   braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING  
ASSIST
ANCE  (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the  optimum   braking   pressure   to   be  
reached
  more   quickly,   press   the   pedal  
firmly
  without   releasing   it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the 
brake
  pedal   is   pressed   down.
This
  alters   the   resistance   of   the   brake  
pedal
  under   your   foot.
To
  maintain   operation   of   the  
emergency
  braking   assistance   system:  
keep
  your   foot   on   the   brake   pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into  operation   automatically   when  
there
  is   a   risk   of   wheel   lock.   It   does   not  
reduce
  the   braking   distance.
o
n very slippery surfaces (ice, 
oil, etc...)
  the  
ABS
   may   increase   the  
braking
  distance.   When   braking   in  
an
  emergency,   do   not   hesitate   to  
press
  the   brake   pedal   firmly,   without  
releasing the pressure, even on a 
slippery surface, you will then be able 
to
  continue   to   manoeuvre   the   vehicle  
to
  avoid   an   obstacle.
Normal
  operation   of   the  
ABS
   may   be  
felt
  by   slight   vibration   of   the   brake  
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and 
rims),
  ensure   that   these   are   listed   by  
CITROËN
  for   the   vehicle. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITR
o Ë n  
dealer
  or   a   qualified   workshop.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION  (ASR) 
AND
  DYNAMIC   STABILITY
 
CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement  the  ABS.
The
 
ASR
   system   is   very   useful   for  
maintaining
  optimum   drive   and  
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle 
on
  acceleration.
The
  system   optimises   drive   to   prevent  
the
  wheels   skidding,   by   acting   on   the  
brakes
  of   the   drive   wheels   and   on   the  
engine.
  It   also   allows   the   directional  
stability
  of   the   vehicle   to   be   improved  
on
  acceleration.
Use the 
d SC to hold your course 
without
  attempting   to   countersteer.
If there is a variation between the 
trajectory
  followed   by   the   vehicle   and  
that required by the driver
, the  d SC 
system
  automatically   acts   on   the  
engine
  and   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
wheels,
  in   order   to   put   the   vehicle   back  
on
  course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions 
(starting   the   vehicle   when   stuck   in   mud  
or
  snow,   or   on   loose   ground...),   it   could  
prove useful to deactivate the a
SR and 
DSC
  systems   to   make   the   wheels   spin  
and
  regain   grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC   systems   offer   increased  safety
  during   normal   driving,   but  
should
  not   incite   the   driver   to   take   risks  
or
  to   drive   at   high   speed.
The
  operation   of   these   systems   is  
ensured
  if   the   recommendations  
of
  the   manufacturer   regarding  
the
  wheels   (tyres   and   rims),   the  
braking
  components,   the   electronic  
components
  and   the   fitting   and   repair  
procedures
  are   observed.
After
  an   impact,   have   these   systems  
checked
  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified
  workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the a SR or 
DSC
  is   triggered.
They engage again:
-
 
automatically
   above   30   mph    
(50

accompanied
  by   an   audible  
signal
  and   a   message   in   the  
screen.

Press the button or turn 
the dial to the 
d SC  o FF

  workshop   to   have   the   system  
checked.
The
  warning   lamp   may   also   come   on   if  
the
  tyres   are   under-inflated.   Check   the  
pressure
  of   each   tyre.

GRIP CONTROL
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to 
drive
  on   tarmac   roads   but   it   allows   you  
to drive on other less passable terrain 
occasionally
.
However, particularly when your 
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not 
permit
  off-road   activities   such   as:
-
 
crossing and driving on ground 
which
  could   damage   the   underbody  
or
  tear   off   components   (fuel   pipe,  
fuel
  cooler,   ...),   particularly   by  
obstacles or stones,
-
 
driving on ground with steep 
gradients and poor grip,
-
 
crossing
   a   stream.
On
 
snow,
 
mud
 
or
 
sand,
 
traction
 
control
 is
 
obtained
 
by
 
a
 
compromise
 
between
 
safety
, grip, traction and appropriate 
tyres.
It
 
adapts
 
to
 
allows
 
most
 
conditions
 
of
 
poor
 
grip
 
to
 
be
 
accommodated.
The
 
accelerator
 
pedal
 
must
 
be
 
pressed
 
enough for there to be adequate 
engine
 
power
 
to
 
manage
 
the
 
various
 
parameters
 
in
 
the
 
best
 
way.

Berlingo-2-VP_en_Chap05_Securite_ed01-2015
different modes are available:
Normal (ESC)
ESC OFFSnow
This mode allows the vehicle to adapts its strategy to the
 
conditions of grip encountered 
for each of the two front 
wheels,
  on   moving   off.
When
 
moving,   the   system   optimises  
wheelspin to provide the best 
acceleration possible for the grip 
available.
Off road
(mud, wet grass, ...)
 When moving off, this mode  allows   considerable  
wheelspin on the wheel 
with the least grip to favour 
clearing
  of   the   mud   and  
regain
  "grip".
At
 
the
 
same   time,   the   wheel   with   the  
most
 
grip
  is   controlled   in   such   a   way   as  
to
 
transmit   as   much   torque   as   possible.
When
 
moving,   the   system   optimises  
wheelspin
  to   meet   the   driver's  
requirements
  as   fully   as   possible.
Sand
 This mode allows a little wheelspin on the two driving 
wheels  at   the   same   time   to  
allow
  the   vehicle   to   move  
forward
  and   reduces   the   risk  
of
  getting   stuck   in   the   sand.
Do
 
not
 
use   the   other   modes   on   sand  
as
 
the
 
vehicle   may   become   stuck.
This
 
mode
 
is
 
calibrated
 
for
 
a
 low
 
level
 
of
 
skidding,
 
based
 
on dif
ferent conditions of grip 
encountered
 
on
 
the
 
road.
When the ignition is switched off, the 
system
 
returns
 
automatically
 
to
 
DSC
 
mode.
This
 
mode
 
is
 
only
 
suitable
 
for
 
specific
 
conditions
 
encountered
 
when
 
moving
 
off
 
or
 
at
 
low
 
speed.
