ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
At the rear, always leave sufficient space  between   the   front   seat   and:
-

a rearward facing child seat,
-


the feet of a child seated in a
forward

  facing   child   seat.
For this, move the front seat forward
and, if necessary, straighten its
backrest
  as   well.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection
  in   the   event   of   an   accident.
Check   that   there   is   no   seat   belt   or   seat  
belt

  buckle   under   the   child   seat,   as   this  
could

  destabilise   the   seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum,   even   for   short   journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt
is well tensioned on the child seat
and that it is holding the child seat
firmly   against   the   vehicle's   seat.   If   the  
passenger

  seat   is   adjustable,   move   it  
forward

  if   necessary. For the optimum installation of a
forward facing child seat, ensure that
the   back   of   the   child   seat   is   as   close   as  
possible

  to   the   backrest   of   the   vehicle's  
seat,

  or   in   contact   if   possible.
The head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest   on   the   passenger   seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is
stowed or attached securely so that it
is not thrown around the vehicle in the
event   of   sharp   braking.
Refit   the   head   restraint   as   soon   as   the  
child

  seat   is   removed.Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on
the
  front   passenger   seat   is   specific   to  
each

  country.   Refer   to   the   legislation   in  
force

  in   your   country.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag
when a rearward facing child seat is
installed
  on   the   front   seat.
Otherwise,
  the   child   would   risk   being  
seriously

  injured   or   killed   if   the   airbag  
were

  deployed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without   touching   the   neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes
  correctly   over   the   child's   thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a
booster
  seat   which   has   a   back,   fitted  
with

  a   seat   belt   guide   at   shoulder   level.
As
  a   safety   precaution,   never   leave:
-

one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-


a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
-

 
the
  keys   within   reach   of   children  
inside

  the   vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors,
  use   the   "Child   Lock".
Take
 
care
 
not
 
to
 
open
 
the
 
rear
 
windows
 
by

  more   than   one   third.
To protect young children from the rays
of
  the   sun,   fit   side   blinds   to   the   rear  
windows.
For an installation in row 3, put the
backrests

 
of
 
the
 
outer
 
and
 
centre
 seats in row 2 in the table position, or
remove these seats in row 2, so that
the child seat or the child's legs do not
touch
 
the
 
seats
 
in
 
row

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.

During use
Never  unlock   the   device   when  
a

 
trailer   or   load   carrier   is   fitted   to   the  
swan

  neck.
After use
For
 
journeys
 
made
 
without
 
a
 
trailer
 
or

 
load   carrier,   the   swan   neck   must  
be

 
removed   and   the   blanking   plug  
inserted

  in   the   carrier.  
This
  measure  
applies

  particularly   if   the   swan   neck  
could hinder visibility of the number
plate

  or   lighting.Removal
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the
swan  neck   and   its   carrier   remain   clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high
pressure
  jet   wash,   the   swan   neck   must  
be

  removed   and   the   blanking   plug  
inserted

  in   the   carrier.

Carbon filter and passenger compartment filterParticle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must be  carried   out   by   a   CITROËN   dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust.
 
This
  water   vapour   does   not  
have any adverse ef

fect on vehicle
handling
  or   the   environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have
your  battery   checked   by   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to  
check

  the   thickness   of   the   pads,   even  
between

  services.
Unless
  there   is   a   leak   on   the   circuit,   a  
drop

  in   the   brake   fluid   level   indicates  
that

  the   brake   pads   are   worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake disc  /   drum   wear,   contact   a   CITROËN  
dealer

.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the
performance
  of   the   system,   the   parking
 brake

  should   be   adjusted,   even   between
 services.
Have

  the   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN
 dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
