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 of
f
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-VP_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.

Levels

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,
...).
