CHECKS -> Checks for Your Citroen Berlingo SUV Second Generation (2008-2018)

Checks  
CHECKS  
Battery  
At the start of summer or winter, have  
your battery checked by a CITROËN  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter  
Brake pads  
An access flap allows replacement of  
the filters.  
The carbon filter permits continuous  
and effective filtering of dust.  
Depending on the environment (dusty  
atmosphere...) and the use of the  
vehicle (urban driving...), change them  
twice as often if necessary.  
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.  
If the passenger compartment filter  
becomes blocked, this may reduce the  
performance of the air conditioning  
system and generate unpleasant  
odours.  
We recommend the use of a combined  
passenger compartment filter. By  
means of its second special active  
filter, it contributes to the purification  
of the air breathed by the occupants  
and the cleanness of the passenger  
compartment (reduction of allergic  
symptoms, unpleasant odours and  
greasy deposits).  
Oil filter  
Change the filter regularly in  
accordance with the manufacturer's  
servicing schedule.  
Brake disc / drum wear  
Particle filter (Diesel)  
For information on checking the brake  
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN  
dealer.  
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 effect on vehicle  
handling or the environment.  
Parking brake  
Refer to theservicing and warranty  
booklet for the replacement interval for  
these components.  
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.

Checks  
Bleeding water from the Diesel  
filter  
Manual gearbox  
Have the level checked in accordance with  
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
If this warning lamp comes  
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise  
bleed regularly each time the  
engine oil is changed.  
Good practice  
Only use products recommended by  
CITROËN or products of equivalent  
quality and specification.  
In order to optimise the operation  
of units as important as the braking  
system, CITROËN selects and offers  
specific products.  
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed  
screw located on the filter.  
Operate until all of the water no longer  
flows in the transparent pipe, then  
tighten the bleed screw.  
HDi engines use advanced  
technology. All work requires  
special training, so should be  
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer.  
In order to avoid damaging the  
electrical units, we strongly  
advise you not to use high  
pressure washing to clean the engine  
compartment.  
Depending on country of sale.  
After washing the vehicle dampness,  
or in winter, ice may form on the brake  
discs and pads: braking efficiency may  
be reduced. Make some light brake  
applications to dry and de-ice the  
brakes.
