SAFETY -> Grip control for Your Citroen Berlingo SUV Second Generation (2008-2018)

Driving safely  
GRIP CONTROL  
On snow, mud or sand, traction control Correct use  
is obtained by a compromise between  
safety, grip, traction and appropriate  
tyres.  
Your vehicle is designed principally to  
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you  
to drive on other less passable terrain  
occasionally.  
However, particularly when your  
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not  
permit off-road activities such as:  
It adapts to allows most conditions of  
poor grip to be accommodated.  
The accelerator pedal must be pressed  
enough for there to be adequate  
engine power to manage the various  
parameters in the best way.  
-
crossing and driving on ground  
which could damage the underbody  
or tear off components (fuel pipe,  
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by  
obstacles or stones,  
-
driving on ground with steep  
gradients and poor grip,  
crossing a stream.

wheels, on moving off.  
When the ignition is switched off, the  
system returns automatically to DSC  
mode.  
When moving, the system optimises  
wheelspin to provide the best  
acceleration possible for the grip  
available.  
Do not use the other modes on sand  
as the vehicle may become stuck.  
ESC OFF  
Off road  
(mud, wet grass, ...)  
This mode is only suitable  
for specific conditions  
encountered when moving off  
or at low speed.  
When moving off, this  
mode allows considerable  
wheelspin on the wheel  
with the least grip to favour  
clearing of the mud and  
regain "grip".  
Above 30 mph (50 km/h)  
the system returns to DSC mode  
automatically.  
At the same time, the wheel with the  
most grip is controlled in such a way as  
to transmit as much torque as possible.  
When moving, the system optimises  
wheelspin to meet the driver's  
requirements as fully as possible.
