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
 
km/h), When
  a   malfunction   of   the  systems
  occurs,   the   warning  
lamp

  and   the   LED   come   on,  
accompanied

  by   an   audible  
signal

  and   a   message   in   the  
screen.
-


Press the button or turn
the dial to the

d SC o FF
position (depending on
model).
-
 
The

 
LED   comes   on:   the  
ASR
  and  
DSC

 
systems   no   longer   come   into  
play

. -
 
manually
  by   pressing   the  
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending

  on   model).Contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  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.
Above
 
30

ACTIVE CITY BRAKE
Active City Brake is a driving assistance
  system   that   aims   to   avoid  
a frontal collision or reduce the speed
of

  an   impact   if   the   driver   does   not  
react

  sufficiently   (inadequate   brake  
application).
This

  system   is   designed   to  
improve

  driving   safety.
It
  remains   the   driver's   responsibility   to  
continuously

  monitor   the   state   of   the  
traffic

  and   to   assess   the   distances   and  
relative

  speeds   of   other   vehicle.
Active
  City   Brake   can   in   no  
circumstances

  replace   the   need   for  
vigilance

  on   the   part   of   the   driver. Never
  look   at   the   laser   sensor  
through

  an   optical   instrument  
(magnifying

  glass,   microscope...)  
at a distance of less than
10 centimetres:

  risk   of   eye   injury.Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top
of  the   windscreen,   this   system   detects  
a

  vehicle   running   in   the   same   direction  
or

  stationary   ahead   of   your   vehicle.
When
  necessary,   the   vehicle's   braking  
system

  is   operated   automatically  
to avoid a collision with the vehicle
ahead.Automatic

  braking   occurs   later  
than if done by the driver

, so as
to intervene only when there is a
high
  risk   of   collision.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following  conditions   are   met:
●
 
ignition
  on,
●
 
the
  vehicle   is   in   a   forward   gear,
●
 
speed
  is   between   about   3   and  
18 mph

  (5   and   30   km/h),
●
 
the
  braking   assistance   systems  
(ABS,

  EBFD,   emergency   braking  
assistance) are not faulty

,
●
 
the
  trajectory   control   systems  
(

a SR, d SC) are not deactivated or
faulty,
●
 
the
  vehicle   is   not   in   a   tight   corner,
●
 
the
  system   has   not   been   triggered  
during

  the   previous   10   seconds.

Berlingo-2-VP_en_Chap05_Securite_ed01-2015
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly  the   system   automatically  
applies

  the   brakes   to   avoid   a   collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
  brake   lamps   on   your   vehicle   come  
on

  to   warn   other   road   users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically
  if   the   difference   in  
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle

  ahead   does   not   exceed   9   mph  
(15 km/h).
Above

  this   threshold,   the   system   will  
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The

  automatic   braking   may   bring  
the

  vehicle   to   a   complete   stop   if   the  
situation

  requires   it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary
  temporarily   (for   about  
1.5 seconds)

  to   allow   the   driver   to   take  
back

  control   by   pressing   the   brake  
pedal. The

  triggering   of   the   system   may  cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedal
  quickly   enough   during   automatic  
braking.
During

  automatic   braking,   the  
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled

  by   the   system,   by   pressing  
firmly

  on   the   brake   pedal.
After
  an   impact,   the   system   is  
automatically

  put   out   of   service:   it  
no

  longer   operates.
You
  must   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop   to   have   the   system  
made

  operational   again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are  stationary   or   moving   in   the   same  
direction

  as   your   vehicle.
It
  does   not   detect   small   vehicles  
(bicycles,

  motorcycles),  
pedestrians

  or   animals,   nor   non-
reflective
  stationary   objects.
The
  system   is   not   triggered   or   is  
interrupted

  if   the   driver:
-

accelerates strongly
-


or turns the steering wheel
suddenly

  (avoiding   manoeuvre).
In
  difficult   weather   conditions   (very  
heavy

  rain,   snow,   fog,   hail...),  
braking

  distances   increase,   which  
can

  reduce   the   ability   of   the   system   to  
avoid

  a   collision.
The
  driver   must   therefore   remain  
particularly

  vigilant.
Never
  leave   accumulations   of  
snow

  or   any   object   projecting  
above the bonnet or in front of
the

  roof:   this   might   fall   into   the   field   of  
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.

Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely  before   moving   off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even
  for   short   journeys.
The
  seat   belts   are   fitted   with   an   inertia  
reel

  which   automatically   adjusts   the  
length

  of   the   strap   to   your   size.
d

o not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips,
  safety   pins,   etc.)   which   allow   the  
seat

  belt   straps   to   fit   loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly
  after   use.
