MANUAL GEARBO x
5-speed
6-speed
To change gear easily, always depress
the
 
clutch
 
pedal   fully.
To
 
prevent
 
the
 
mat   from   becoming  
caught

 
under
 
the   pedal:
-
 
ensure

 
that
  the   mat   is   positioned  
and

 
secured   correctly   on   the   floor,
-
 
never

 
fit
 
one   mat   on   top   of   another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on
 
the
 
gear
 
knob   as   the   force   exerted,  
even

 
if
 
slight,
 
may   wear   the   internal  
components

 
of
  the   gearbox   over   time.
Changing into 5th or 6th gear
To engage the gear correctly, move the gear  lever   fully   to   the   right.
Engaging reverse gear
The lever should be moved slowly to  reduce   noise.
To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle
  has   come   to   a   complete   stop.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary,
release
  the   steering   wheel   adjustment  
mechanism

  by   pulling   the   lever.
Adjust
  the   steering   wheel   for   height  
and

  reach,   then   lock   the   mechanism   by  
pushing

  the   lever   fully   forward. In
  the   6-speed   configuration,   raise   the  collar
  below   the   gear   knob.

The information appears in the  instrument   panel   in   the  
form

  of   an   arrow.
The
  system   adapts   its   gear  
change

  recommendation  
according to the driving conditions
(slope,

 
load, ...)   and   the   demands  
of the driver (power

, acceleration,
braking, ...).
The
 
system   never   suggests:
-
 
engaging
  first   gear,
-
 
engaging
  reverse   gear.
With
 
an
 
electronic
 
gearbox,
 
the
 
system
 
is

 
only
 
active
 
in
 
manual
 
mode.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
System which reduces fuel consumption   by   recommending   the  
most

  appropriate   gear.
Operation
depending on the driving situation and
your   vehicle's   equipment,   the   system  
may

  advise   you   to   skip   one   (or   more)  
gear(s).

 
Y
ou   can   follow   this   instruction  
without

  engaging   the   intermediate  
gears.
The

  gear   engagement  
recommendations

  must   not   be  
considered

  compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
configuration

  of   the   road,   the   amount  
of

  traffic   and   safety   remain   determining  
factors when choosing the best
gear

.  
Therefore,
  the   driver   remains  
responsible for deciding whether or
not to follow the advice given by the
system.
This

  function   cannot   be   deactivated.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
  temporarily   on   standby   -   STOP mode

  -   during   stops   in   the   traffic   (red  
lights,

  traffic   jams,   or   other...).  
The
 
engine

  restarts   automatically   -   START
 mode

  -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move  
of

f.  
The
  restart   takes   place   instantly,  
quickly

  and   silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system
  reduces   fuel   consumption   and  
exhaust

  emissions   as   well   as   the   noise  
level

  when   stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"  warning  lamp  comes on
  in   the   instrument   panel   and the

  engine   goes   into   standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds
below   12   mph   (20   km/h),   when   you

with
a 6-speed electronic
gearbox,
  at   speeds   below   5   mph  
(8

  km/h),   when   you   press   the   brake  
pedal or put the gear lever into
position

N. If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   the   system,  
a

  time   counter   calculates   the   sum   of  
the

  periods   in   STOP
 
mode   during   a  
journey

.   It   rests   itself   to   zero   every   time  
the

  ignition   is   switched   on   with   the   key.
With   a   6-speed   electronic  
gearbox,

  for   your   comfort   during  
parking

  manoeuvres,   STOP
 
mode  
is not available for a few seconds after
coming

  out   of   reverse   gear.

Before working under the bonnet, deactivate  the   Stop   &   Start   system  
to

  avoid   any   risk   of   injury   resulting  
from

  automatic   operation   of   START
 mode.
This

  system   requires   a   specific  
battery

  with   a   special   specification  
and

 
technology   (reference   numbers  
available

  from   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by

HILL START ASSIST
This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
  Control),   linked   to   the   dynamic  
stability

  control   system,   makes   hill  
starts easier and is activated in the
following

  conditions:
-
 
the
  vehicle   must   be   stationary,  
engine

  running,   foot   on   the   brake,
-
 
the
  gradient   of   the   road   must   be  
steeper than 5%,
-

 
uphill,
  the   gearbox   must   be   in  
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-

 
downhill,
  reverse   gear   must   be  
engaged.
The

  Hill   Start  
Assist
  system   is   a   driving  
aid.

  It   is   not   an   automatic   vehicle  
parking

  function   or   an   automatic  
parking

  brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,   from   the   time   you   release  
the

  brake   pedal,   without   using   the  
parking

  brake,   you   have   approximately  
2 seconds

  to   move   off   before   the  
vehicle

  starts   to   roll   back.
During
  the   moving   off   phase,   the  
function

  is   deactivated   automatically,  
gradually

  releasing   the   braking  
pressure.

  During   this   phase,   the  
characteristic

  noise   of   mechanical  
release

  of   the   brakes   may   be   heard,  
indicating

  the   imminent   movement   of  
the

  vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following   situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,
-

 
when
  the   parking   brake   is   applied,
-

when the engine is switched of
f,
-
 
when
  the   engine   stalls.
If
  a   malfunction   of   the  
system

  occurs,   this  
warning

  lamp   comes   on  
accompanied

  by   an   audible  
signal

  and   confirmed   by  
a

  message   in   the   screen.   Have   the  
system

  checked   by   at   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.

A FEW DRIVING
RECOMMENDA
TIONS
observe the driving regulations at all
times   and   remain   vigilant   whatever   the  
traffic

  conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and  
keep

  your   hands   on   the   wheel   so   that  
you

  are   ready   to   react   at   any   time   to  
any

  eventuality.
On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every  
two hours

  is   strongly   recommended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,  
anticipate

  the   need   to   brake   and  
increase

  the   distance   from   other  
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on  flooded   roads,   as   this   could   cause  
serious

  damage   to   the   engine   or  
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems

  of   your   vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-
 
check
  that   the   depth   of   water   does  
not

  exceed   15   cm,   taking   account  
of

  waves   that   might   be   generated  
by other users,
-
 
deactivate
  the   Stop   &   Start   system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stallin

g.   In   all   cases,   do   not   exceed  6
  mph   (10   km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the
  engine.
On
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon  
as

  circumstances   allow,   make   several  
light

  brake   applications   to   dry   the   brake  
discs

  and   pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop.Never
  drive   with   the   parking   brake  
applied

  -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
damage

  to   the   braking   system!
Do   not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
stationary

  in   areas   where   inflammable  
substances

  and   materials   (dry   grass,  
dead

  leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
with

  the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
fire!
n

ever leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running.   If   you   have   to   leave  
your vehicle with the engine running,
apply

  the   parking   brake   and   put   the  gearbox into neutral or position
N or P,
depending
  on   the   type   of   gearbox.
Important!

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.
