towing CITROEN BERLINGO VAN 2019 Owner's Manual

190
Practical information
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
If using accessories attached to the
towing device (e.g. bicycle carriers, tow
boxes):
–

Comply with the maximum authorised nose
weight.
–


Do not transport more than 4 conventional
bicycles or 2 electric bicycles.
When loading bicycles onto a bicycle carrier
on a towball, be sure to place the heaviest
bicycles as close as possible to the vehicle.
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Electric motor
An electric vehicle may be fitted with a
towing device.
It is therefore possible to tow a trailer or
caravan.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop for more information and to obtain a
suitable towing device.
Overload indicator

The overload indicator is a driving aid and
informs you that the maximum authorised
weight has been exceeded; this may be either
the gross vehicle weight (GVW) or the maximum
authorised weight on either axle (front and rear)
(GAWR).
The indicator does not relieve the user from their responsibility.
Even if you correctly measure the weight
of the vehicle's load, any factor that may
vary this weight (driver/additional passengers
seated or taking on additional fuel) after the
measurement may put the vehicle into the
overload condition.


The load includes the weight of the items stored in the loading area (including any
fittings such as shelves), but also the weight
of all persons on board the vehicle, the
amount of fuel (depending on version) and
various equipment fitted on the vehicle.
For optimal performance, the vehicle must
be parked and loaded on level ground (avoid
the following conditions: parking on a slope or
straddling a pavement).
Attaching a trailer to your vehicle may affect the operation of the system.
Operation
The weight on board your vehicle is measured:
► When the engine starts, automatically .


ON► When stationary, by pressing this
button in the loading area. The system is
then active for 5 minutes.

purpose or take them back to where you
purchased them.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, it is necessary to put the
vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on
a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),
rail or sea transport).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended
while coasting.
Keyless Entry and Start
You must not depress the brake pedal
while switching the ignition on again, then
switching it off. If you do, the engine will start,

Towing
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for
towing another vehicle using the towing eye.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Check that the towing vehicle is heavier than
the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground, always use an approved towbar;
ropes and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
A professional recovery service must
be called in the following cases:
–

broken down on a motorway or main road;
– not possible to put the gearbox into neutral,
unlock the steering, or release the parking
brake;
–

not possible to tow a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox, with the engine running;

Technical data
9Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
Only the values available at the time of
publication are presented in the tables.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to obtain missing values.
The maximum power corresponds to the value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined by European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC). For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
the vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load
values indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towed load value
must be reduced by 10% for each additional
1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, the
vehicle performance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. When the exterior
temperature is higher than 37°C, reduce the
towed weight.
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect its road holding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 62 mph (100
km/h) (observe the
local legislation in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine is allowed
to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
Engines and towed loads - PETROL

Vehicles fitted with the VTi 110 BVM5 engine are not suitable for towing.
