Driving -> Driving and manoeuvring aids - General recommendations for Your Citroen Berlingo SUV Third Generation (2018-2025)

Driving  
In certain extreme weather conditions  
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),  
the head-up display may not be legible or  
may suffer temporary interference.  
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of the  
information.  
To clean the projection blade, use a clean,  
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or  
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive  
cloth, or detergent or solvent products, due to  
the risk of scratching the projection blade or  
damaging the non-reflective coating.  
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly  
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance  
and relative speed of other vehicles, and  
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the  
direction indicator and changing lanes.  
These systems do not make it possible to  
exceed the laws of physics.

Driving aids  
This camera and its associated functions  
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen  
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,  
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or  
masked by a sticker.  
You should hold the steering wheel with  
both hands, always use the door and interior  
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the  
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.  
This system operates when the engine is  
running, and the settings are saved when  
the ignition is switched off.  
In humid and cold weather, demist the  
windscreen regularly.  
Manoeuvring aids  
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,  
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle  
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,  
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,  
alternating shade and light) can also impair  
detection performance.  
The driver must always check the  
surroundings of the vehicle before and during  
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the  
mirrors.  
Driving and manoeuvring  
aids - General  
Radar(s)  
In the event of a windscreen replacement,  
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  
workshop to recalibrate the camera;  
otherwise, the operation of the associated  
driving aids may be disrupted.  
recommendations  
The operation of the radar(s), along with  
any associated functions, may be affected  
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice),  
in poor weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain,  
snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.  
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact  
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop;  
certain types of paint could interfere with the  
operation of the radar(s).  
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in  
any circumstances, replace the need for  
vigilance on the part of the driver.  
The driver must comply with the Highway  
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in  
all circumstances and must be able to retake  
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt  
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and  
the state of the road.  
Other cameras  
The images from the camera(s)  
displayed on the touch screen or on the  
instrument panel may be distorted by the  
terrain.

Driving  
In the presence of areas in shade, or in  
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate  
lighting, the image may be darkened and with  
lower contrast.  
Obstacles may appear further away than they  
actually are.  
Maintenance  
Road signs recognition  
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and  
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.  
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,  
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away  
from the sensors and cameras.  
For more information, refer to the  
General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
Sensors  
Mats/Pedal trims  
The operation of the sensors, as well as  
any associated functions, may be disrupted  
by noise pollution such as that emitted by  
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,  
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of  
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the  
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.  
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible  
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors  
may be dirty.  
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can  
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not  
always detected by the system: distance  
measurements may be distorted.  
The sensors do not systematically detect  
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)  
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).  
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind  
spots may not be detected or may no longer  
be detected during the manoeuvre.  
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound  
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.  
The use of mats or pedal trims not  
approved by CITROËN may interfere with  
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise  
control.  
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:  
– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.  
– Never fit one mat on top of another.  
This system displays the maximum speed  
authorised locally on the instrument panel, using:  
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.  
– Speed limit information from the navigation  
system’s mapping.  
Units of speed  
Ensure that the units of speed displayed  
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are  
those for the country you are driving in.  
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is  
stationary, set the display to the required  
units of speed so that it complies with what is  
authorised locally.  
– Signs indicating a shared traffic zone detected  
by the camera.  
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer  
or a qualified workshop.
