For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter  9,   "Weights"   section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
Distribute 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. As 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.
Towing a trailer

149
Berlingo2VP_en_Chap06_Accessoire_ed02-2016
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine  automatically   limits   its   power.  
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically cut of

f to save engine
power.
Tyres
Check
  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  
vehicle and of the trailer

, observing the
recommended
  pressures.
Chapter
  7,   "Levels"   section.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine
  as   soon   as   possible.Brakes
Towing
  increases   the   braking   distance.  Drive at a moderate speed, change
down
  early   and   brake   gradually.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their wiring
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting
  of   this   equipment   to   a   CITROËN  
dealer

.
If
  this   equipment   is   not   fitted   by   a  
CITROËN dealer

, it is imperative that
it
  is   fitted   using   the   electrical   pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's
  instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention
  to   the   risk   associated   with  
fitting

  a   towbar   or   electrical   accessory  
not

  recommended   by   CITROËN.  
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system.

  Please   obtain   information   from  
the

  Manufacturer   before   fitting   this   type  
of

  equipment.

LEVELS
Oil change
This must be carried out at
the  intervals   specified   in   the  
manufacturer's

  servicing   schedule.  
Ask
 
for

  advice   from   a   CITROËN   dealer.
Remove
  the   dipstick   before   filling.
Check
  the   level   after   filling   (never  
exceed

  the   max   mark).
Refit
  the   oil   filler   cap   before   closing   the  
bonnet.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's  servicing   schedule.
Use
  fluids   recommended   by   the  
manufacturer

, which meet the DOT4
standard.
The level must be between the MIN
and
  MAX   marks   on   the   reservoir.
If
  fluid   has   to   be   added   frequently,  
this indicates a fault which must be
checked

  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or  
a

  qualified   workshop   as   soon   as  
possible.
Warning lamps
 If you have to remove / refit the engine style cover, handle it with
care
  to   avoid   damaging   the   fixing  
clips.
Oil level
It is recommended that the oil level be
checked  every   3   000   miles   (5   000   km)  
and topped up if necessary between oil
changes.
Check

  the   level   with   the   vehicle   level,  
engine

  cold,   using   the   dipstick.
Dipstick
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet
  the   requirements   specified   in   the  
manufacturer's

  service   schedule.
These regular maintenance
operations
  will   keep   your   vehicle  
in

  good   working   order.  
Ask
  for  
advice from a CITROËN dealer or refer
to the maintenance and warranty guide
in

  the   handbook   pack.
Checks   using   the   warning  
lamps in the instrument panel
is described in chapter 3,
"Instruments and controls"
section.
There

  are   two   marks   on  
the

  dipstick:
A = maximum
If
  you   fill   past   this   mark,  
contact a CITROËN
dealer

  or   a   qualified  
workshop.
B

= minimum
Never allow the level to
fall
  below   this   mark.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is
  prohibited.

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).
During 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 CITROËN 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 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.
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 CITROËN 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,
 
...).

Good practice
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with the
  manufacturer's   servicing   schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly
advise you not to use high
pressure washing to clean the engine
compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or
 
in
  winter,   ice   may   form   on   the   brake  
discs

  and   pads:   braking   efficiency   may  
be

 
reduced.   Make   some   light   brake  
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on,

 
bleed
 
the
 
filter.
 
Otherwise
 
bleed regularly each time the
engine

 
oil
 
is
 
changed.
HDi engines use advanced
technology.
 
All

 
work
 
requires
 
special training, so should be
entrusted

 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer.
Depending
 
on
 
country
 
of
 
sale.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw
 
located
 
on
 
the
 
filter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
flows
 
in
 
the
 
transparent
 
pipe,
 
then
 
tighten

 
the
 
bleed
 
screw.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality  and   specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of
 
units   as   important   as   the   braking  
system, CITROËN selects and of

fers
specific   products.

REFUELLING
Low fuel level
Filling
The  fuel   tank   must   be   filled   with the
engine off.
-
 
Open
  the   fuel   filler   flap.
-
 
Insert
  the   key,   then   turn   it   a   quarter  
turn.
-

 
Remove
  the   cap   and   hook   it   onto  
the clip located on the inside of the
flap. When

  filling   with   fuel,  a
mechanical system prevents
opening
  of   the   left-hand   side   door.  
When

  the   fuel   filler   flap   is   open,   ensure  
that

  no   one   tries   to   slide   this   door.
Once
  the   flap   has   been   closed,   the  
sliding

  side   door   may   jam,   push   the  
door

  to   close   it   then   open   it.
When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes
 
on. A
 

label   affixed   to   the   inside   of   the   flap  
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
Y

ou   must   fill   with   at   least   5   litres   of   fuel  
for

  it   to   be   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
When
  the   fuel   filler   cap   is   opened,  
there

  may   be   a   slight   inrush   of   air.  
This
 
vacuum is entirely normal and is due to
the

  sealing   of   the   fuel   system.
When
  filling   the   fuel   tank,   do   not  
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle.
 This
 
could
 
cause   malfunctions.
The
 
capacity
 
of
 
the
 
fuel   tank   is  
approximately 60 litres (or 55 litres
according

 
to
 
version).
-
 
After

 
filling
 
the
 
fuel   tank,   lock   the  
cap

 
and
 
close
 
the   flap.
You then have approximately 8 litres
of
 
fuel
 
remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running
out
 
of
 
fuel.
Never
 
risk
 
driving
 
until
 
you
 
run
 
out
 
of
 
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control

 
and
 
injection
 
systems.
