ISOFIx MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the latest ISOFIX regulation.
The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat.
Two front rings A, located between
the vehicle seat backrest and cushion,
indicated by a marking.
A rear ring B
, located on the back
of the vehicle's seat backrest, for
securing the upper strap referred to as
the Top Tether.
The Top Tether is used to secure the
upper strap of child seats that have
one. This arrangement limits the
forward tipping of the child seat in the
event of a frontal impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system
guarantees you fast, reliable and safe
fitting of the child seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with
two latches which are secured on the
two front rings A
.
Some also have an upper strap which
is attached to the rear ring B
.
Follow strictly the instructions for
fitting child seats contained in the
manufacturer's installation guide.
To secure the child seat to the
Top Tether:
-
remove and stow the head restraint
before installing the child seat in
this seating position (refit it once
the child seat has been removed),
-
pass the upper strap of the child
seat over the top of the seat
backrest, between the apertures for
the head restraint rods,
- secure the hook on the upper strap
to the rear ring,
- tighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
protection of the child in the event
of an accident.
Refer to the table for information on
the installation of ISOFIX child seats in
your vehicle.

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 2.

Towing a trailer
Berlingo2VP_en_Chap06_Accessoire_ed02-2016
For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN...
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.

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 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.

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"

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.

Levels
Berlingo2VP_en_Chap07_Verification_ed02-2016
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, ...).
