Citroën Berlingo 2009 Owner's Manual

ACCESSES

REMOTE CONTROL

This locks and unlocks the locks
on the vehicle and starts the engine.

Unlocking

Press this button once to
unlock the front doors.

Press this button again
to unlock your vehicle
completely.

The direction indicators fl ash twice.

Unlocking the load space

Press this button to unlock all
of the rear doors.

Security of use

To unlock the load space only:

Press this control to lock the
vehicle completely.

Press this control to unlock
the load space, the front
doors alone remain locked.

Accesses

Central locking

Press this button to lock the
vehicle completely.

The direction indicators fl ash once.

If one of the doors is open
(transportation of long loads) or is not
closed correctly, the central locking will
not work.

Deadlocking

A second press on the closed
padlock on the remote control within

fi ve seconds after locking changes the

locking to deadlocking.

This is confi rmed by fi xed lighting

of the direction indicators for

approximately two seconds.
Deadlocking renders the exterior

and interior door opening handles
inoperative: do not leave anyone inside
the vehicle when it is deadlocked.

If deadlocking is activated from inside
the vehicle using the remote control,
it will change to normal locking when
the vehicle is started.

Accesses

Good practice

Take care not to allow the remote
control to come into contact with
grease, dust, rain or a damp
environment.

A heavy object attached to the key
(keyring, ...) weighing on the shaft of
the key in the switch, may cause a
malfunction.

REMOTE CONTROL

Programming the remote
control

Following changing of the remote
control battery or disconnection of the
vehicle battery, the remote control may
have to be reprogrammed.

Wait at least one minute before using
the remote control.

Insert the key in the ignition switch with
the buttons (padlocks) of the remote
control facing you.

Switch on the ignition.
Press the locking padlock for at

least fi ve seconds within the next

ten seconds.
Switch off the ignition.
Wait at least one minute before using

the remote control.
The remote control is now working

again.

Use only identical batteries or
batteries of an equivalent type to those
recommended by CITROËN dealers.

Do not discard the remote control
batteries, they contain metals which
are harmful to the environment.

Deposit them at a CITROËN
dealership, or at any other approved
collection point.

Folding/unfolding the key

Changing the battery

Battery ref.: CR1620/3 volts.

The information "battery fl at" is given

by an audible signal, accompanied by
a message on the display.

To replace the battery, unclip the
casing using a coin at the ring.

If the remote control does not work
after the battery has been changed,
re-programme the remote control.

There is a risk of damage if the
replacement battery does not conform.

Press this button to release
the key from its housing.

To fold the key, press this
chromed button then fold

the key into the housing.
If you do not press the button, the
mechanism may be damaged.

Accesses

When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:

- have the keys memorised by a
CITROËN dealer to ensure that
the keys in your possession are
the only ones which can start the
vehicle.

Good practice

Do not make any modifi cations to the

electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even

when it is in your pocket, may result in
involuntary unlocking of the doors.

The simultaneous use of other
high frequency equipment (mobile
telephones, domestic alarms…), may
interfere with the operation of the
remote control temporarily.

ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER

All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.

This device locks the engine supply
system. It is activated automatically
when the key is removed from the
ignition.

After the ignition is switched on,
a dialogue is established between the
key and the electronic immobiliser
system.

The metal part of the key must be
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue
to take place.

If you lose your keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document

and your identifi cation document.

A CITROËN dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and
the transponder code so that a
replacement key can be ordered.

The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if
the ignition is off.

As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even
for a short time.

If fi tted on your vehicle, this provides

two types of protection:

- exterior protection: it sounds if a

front/rear door or the bonnet is
opened.

- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).

If your vehicle is fi tted with a separation

partition, the interior protection is not
active in the load space.

Locking the vehicle with
complete alarm

Setting the alarm

- Switch off the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.

- Set the alarm within fi ve minutes of

getting out of the vehicle, by locking
or deadlocking using the remote
control. The red diode, located

on the button, fl ashes once per

second.

Accesses

FRONT DOORS

Disarming

- Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control or switch on the ignition,
the red diode goes out.

Locking the vehicle with
exterior protection only

If, while you are away from the vehicle,
you wish to leave a window partially
open or a pet inside the vehicle, you

should choose exterior protection only.

- Switch off the ignition.

- In the next ten seconds,

press the button until
the red diode is on
continuously.

- Get out of the vehicle.

- Within the next fi ve minutes, set

the alarm by locking or deadlocking
using the remote control (the red

diode fl ashes once a second).

Triggering

The siren sounds, the direction indicators

fl ash for approximately 30 seconds and
the red diode fl ashes rapidly.

- To switch it off, insert the key and
switch on the ignition.

When the alarm has been triggered ten
times in succession (when triggered
for the eleventh time) it is deactivated.
Repeat the rules for setting the alarm.

Locking the vehicle without
alarm

- Insert the key in the lock on the
driver’s door and lock it.

Do not set the alarm when washing
your vehicle.

Failure of the remote control

When the alarm is set but the remote
control does not operate:

- Unlock the doors with the key and
open the door. The alarm is triggered.

- Switch on the ignition in the

next ten seconds. The alarm is

disarmed.

Incorrect operation

When the ignition is switched on, if the
red diode remains on for ten seconds,
there is a fault in the siren connection.

Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.

Automatic setting of the alarm

Depending on the country in which
the vehicle is sold, the alarm is set

automatically approximately 2 minutes

after the last door is closed.
To prevent triggering of the alarm when

a door is opened, it is imperative to
press the remote control unlocking
button again.

Do not make any modifi cations

to the alarm system as this could
cause faults.

From the outside

Use the remote control to lock/unlock
the vehicle.

Insert the metal part of the key in the
lock on the driver's side if the remote
control does not work.

From the inside

Use the door opening control to unlock
and open the door concerned.

Accesses

From the inside

FUEL GAUGE

COOLANT TEMPERATURE

The fuel level is tested each time the
key is turned to the "running" position.

The gauge is positioned on:

- 1: the fuel tank is full,

approximately 60 litres.

- 0: the reserve is now being

used, the warning light comes on
continuously. The reserve when

the warning fi rst comes on is
approximately 8 litres.

The needle is positioned before
the red zone: normal operation.

In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic conditions, the needle may
move close to the red graduations.

What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.

What you should do if the warning
light comes on:

- stop immediately, switch off the
ignition. The fan may continue to
operate for a certain time up to

approximately 10 minutes.

- wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the coolant level and
top it up if necessary.

As the cooling system is pressurised,
follow this advice in order to avoid any
risk of scalding:

- wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before
carrying out any work,

- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to
allow the pressure to drop,

- when the pressure has dropped,

check the level on the expansion

bottle,

- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.

If the needle remains in the red
zone, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.

Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6.

Refer to the "Fuel" section of

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION

EMISSION CONTROL

EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
concerning authorised
emissions of:

- CO (carbon monoxide),

- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed

upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.

Therefore, the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission control

system by the lighting of this specifi c

warning light on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the

catalytic converter. Have it checked by
a CITROËN dealer.

Sensors check the tyre pressure during
driving (speed higher than 12 mph
[20 km/h]) and trigger a warning in the
event of a malfunction or puncture.

Any anomaly detected

(fl at or punctured tyre,

malfunction of a sensor)
is indicated by visual and

is accompanied by a message on the
display.

audible information and

Flat tyre

Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible.

Puncture

Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes.

Change the damaged (punctured or

very defl ated) tyre, and have the tyre

pressure checked as soon as possible.

Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
section of chapter 7.

If the damaged tyre is temporarily
stored inside the vehicle, it will again
emit this message to remind you of the
necessity of having it repaired. This will
prevent another warning of the same
type being displayed.

Sensor(s) not detected

Under-infl ation detection is absent

from one (or several) tyre(s). Contact a
CITROËN dealer to replace the faulty
sensor(s).

This message is also displayed when
one of the tyres is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or when a

wheel without a sensor is fi tted.

All repairs and changing of tyres on a

wheel fi tted with this system must be

carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
The tyre under-infl ation detection

system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.

This system does not remove the need
to have the tyre pressure checked
regularly (including the spare wheel), to
ensure that the dynamic performance
of the vehicle remains at its best and
to avoid premature wear of the tyres,
in particular in the case of arduous
driving (heavy load, high speed).

The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on a
frequency close to it.

SERVICE INDICATOR

This programmes service intervals
according to the use of the vehicle.

More than 1 000 miles/km before
the next service is due

Example: 4 800 miles/km remain

before the next service is due.

When the ignition is switched on and
for a few seconds, the display shows:

A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
then the total distance recorder
resumes normal operation and the
spanner remains lit. This indicates that
a service should be carried out shortly.

Operation

A few moments after the ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating a service operation lights
up; the display for the total distance

recorder tells you (in round fi gures)

the distance remaining before

the next service.

The points at which a service is due
are calculated from the last indicator
zero reset.

The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:

- the distance travelled,

- the time which has elapsed since
the last service.

The distance remaining before the

next service may be weighted by

the time factor, depending on the
driver's driving habits.

A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
then the total distance recorder
resumes normal operation showing the
total and trip distances.

Less than 1 000 miles/km before
the next service is due

Each time the ignition is switched on and

for a few seconds, the spanner fl ashes

and the number of miles/kilometres
remaining is displayed:

Service overdue

Each time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner

fl ashes and the excess

distance is displayed.

With the engine running the
spanner remains lit until the
service has been carried out.

First of the two terms reached:
the spanner also lights up if the
two-year interval has elapsed.

Zero re-set

Your CITROËN dealer carries out this
operation after each service.

However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as
follows:

- switch off the ignition,

- press and hold the trip recorder
reset button,

- switch on the ignition.

The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0" , release

the button; the spanner disappears.

After this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock
the vehicle and wait for at least

fi ve minutes, otherwise the zero re-set

will not be registered.

Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on,
the engine oil level is indicated for
a few seconds, after the service
information.

Oil level correct

Lack of oil

Flashing of "OIL" ,
linked with the
service warning light,

accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
display, indicates a lack of oil which
could damage the engine.

If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check

HILL START ASSISTANCE

This function, linked with the ESP,
makes hill starts easier and is activated
in the following conditions:

- the vehicle must be stationary,
engine running, foot on the brake,

- the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5 %,

- uphill, the gearbox must be in

neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,

- downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.

The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill
Start Assistance function is a driving
comfort feature. It is not an automatic
vehicle parking function or an
automatic handbrake.

Operation

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the

brake pedal you have approximately

2 seconds before the vehicle starts
to roll back and without using the
handbrake within which to move off.

During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the typical
noise of mechanical disengaging of
the brakes can be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle.

The hill start assistance is deactivated
in the following situations:

- when the clutch pedal is released,

- when the handbrake is applied,

- when the engine is switched off,

- when the engine stalls.
