tyre pressure Citroen BERLINGO RHD 2017 2.G Owner's Manual

17Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to
the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the
vehicle and reduce wind resistance
(roof bars, roof rack, bicycle
carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks
after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
before a long journey
,
-

at each change of season,
-


after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil filter

, air filter, passenger
compartment filter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended
in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the
SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without
delay to have the emissions of nitrogen
oxides brought back to the legal level. When refuelling, do not continue after
the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3
000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

UNDER-INFLATION DETECTIONE
MISSIONS

CONTROLS
This system continuously
monitors the pressures of
the four tyres, as soon as
the vehicle is moving.
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
on emissions limits of:
-

CO (carbon monoxide),
-


HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-


NOx (nitrogen oxides), detected
by oxygen sensors placed
downstream of the catalytic
converters,
-


particles. A

pressure sensor is located in the
valve of each tyre (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Refer to chapter 9, "Identification
markings" section.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
The driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emissions
control system by the illumination
of this warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

The alert is maintained until
the tyre or tyres concerned is
reinflated, repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver
type or a steel rim) does not have a
sensor.
Operating fault
Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected
does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely
on just a visual check.
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message. The flashing and then
fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning
lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "Service" warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre
pressures is not assured.
In the event of a problem on one of
the tyres, the symbol or the message
appears, according to equipment, to
identify it.
-

Reduce speed, avoid sudden
steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
-


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-


In the event of a puncture, use
the temporary puncture repair kit
or the spare wheel (according to
equipment),
or
-


if you have a compressor

, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,
or
-


if it is not possible to check the
tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed.
This alert is also displayed when
one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (for example, a
space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop

to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with
a sensor, refitted.

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 EBFD 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.
On 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 CITROËN
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 DSC 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 DSC
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 ASR 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 ASR 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.
Contact a CITROËN 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.
-

Press the button or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
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).

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 off 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.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Parking sensors
The rear parking sensors system does
not function while the vehicle is towing.

ECONOMY MODE
After the engine has stopped, with
the key in the ignition position, certain
functions (windscreen wiper, electric
windows, courtesy lamps, audio
equipment, etc.) can only be used for a
cumulative duration of thirty minutes, to
prevent discharging of the battery.
Once the thirty minutes have elapsed,
the active functions are put on standby
and the battery warning lamp flashes
accompanied by a message in the
screen.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it
run for a few minutes.
The time available will then be double
the time for which the engine was left
running. However, this time will always
be between five and thirty minutes.
A flat battery will prevent the
engine from starting.
