Ease of use and comfort -> Front seats for Your Citroen Berlingo SUV Third Generation (2018-2025)

Ease of use and comfort  
– In row 3, be careful not to leave your feet  
under the row 2 seat while it is being tilted.  
– When a row 3 seat is in the fully folded  
position, ensure that the strap is correctly  
hooked to the Top Tether fixing of the row 2  
backrest: risk of unexpected tipping of the  
seat.  
General  
recommendations for the  
seats  
Front seats  
Correct driving position  
Before taking to the road and to make the most  
of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and  
controls, carry out these adjustments in the  
following order:  
For safety reasons, seat adjustments  
must only be made when the vehicle is  
stationary.  
– head restraint height.  
– seat backrest angle.  
– seat cushion height.  
– longitudinal seat position.  
– steering wheel height and reach.  
– rear view mirror and door mirrors.  
Before carrying out the manoeuvres,  
check that nothing and no one is  
obstructing the moving elements and their  
locking.  
To avoid sudden folding, take care to hold the  
backrest and support it until it is horizontal.  
Never put your hand underneath the seat  
cushion to guide the seat downwards or  
upwards, you could get your fingers trapped.  
Place your hand on the grip/strap (depending  
on equipment) at the top of the seat cushion.  
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests  
must only be done with the vehicle  
stationary.  
Before moving the seat backwards,  
ensure that there is no person or object  
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.  
There is a risk of trapping or pinching  
passengers if present in the rear seats or of  
jamming the seat if large objects are placed  
on the floor behind the seat.  
Please note: an incorrectly latched  
backrest compromises the safety of  
passengers in the event of sudden braking or  
an impact.  
The contents of the boot may be thrown  
forward - risk of severe injury!  
Do not place hard or heavy objects on  
the backrests forming a table. They could  
become dangerous projectiles in the event of  
sudden braking or a collision.  
– Do not remove a head restraint without  
stowing it; secure it to a support inside the  
vehicle.  
Once these adjustments have been  
made, check that the instrument panel  
can be viewed correctly from your driving  
position.  
– Check that the seat belts remain accessible  
to the passenger and easy to fasten.  
– Passengers must never take their seat  
without adjusting and fastening their seat belt.

Retractable position  
► Approximately 30 seconds after starting the  
engine, press the control.  
It can be activated when the outside temperature  
is below 20°C.  
The temperature is controlled automatically.  
Pressing again interrupts operation.  
► Slot the armrest into the backrest, ensuring  
that you align the bayonet lugs with the holes.  
► Push the armrest shaft towards the backrest.  
► While holding it in this position, rotate the  
armrest towards the front. The armrest is once  
again secured onto the backrest.  
► If the centre console inconveniences you,  
remove the passenger's seat armrest.  
► Push the control rearwards fully to tilt and  
guide the assembly.  
This position allows you to transport long loads  
inside the vehicle with the doors closed.  
When retracted, the maximum permitted weight  
on the backrest is 50 kg.  
If you press the control while the engine  
is not running, the request will be  
memorised for approximately 2 minutes.  
Storage compartment under  
the seat  
To reposition the seat cushion, raise the  
backrest until it locks in the raised position.  
With the two-seat front bench seat, the driver's  
seat control switches the heating on or off for the  
bench seat’s outer seat.  
Heated seat control  
Do not use the function when the seat  
is not occupied.  
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as  
possible.  
When the seat and passenger compartment  
have reached a satisfactory temperature,  
► Lift the passenger’s seat cushion to access  
the storage compartment.

Door mirrors  
Prolonged use of heated seats is not  
recommended for people with sensitive  
skin.  
Adjustment  
There is a risk of burns for people whose  
perception of heat is impaired (e.g. illness,  
taking medication).  
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent  
a short circuit:  
– Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the  
seat.  
– Do not kneel or stand on the seat.  
– Do not spill liquids onto the seat.  
– Never use the heating function if the seat  
is damp.  
When stationary, pull the control lever to  
release the steering wheel.  
► Adjust the height and reach.  
► Lower the control lever to lock the steering  
wheel.  
► Move control A or turn control C (depending  
on the version you have) to the right or to the left  
to select the corresponding mirror.  
As a safety precaution, these operations  
must only be carried out while the vehicle  
is stationary.  
► Move control B or C (depending on the  
version you have) in any of the four directions to  
adjust.  
► Return control A or C (depending on the  
version you have) to its centre position.  
As a safety measure, the mirrors should  
be adjusted to reduce the blind spots.  
The objects observed are, in reality, closer  
than they appear.  
Take this into account when assessing the  
distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
