Get Safety -> Hill Assist Descent Control Guide for Citroen Berlingo SUV Third Generation (2018-2025)

Safety

Snow

The ASR and DSC systems will no

longer act on the operation of the engine

or of the brakes in the event of a change of

trajectory.

During a descent, the system assists the driver

in maintaining a constant speed, depending on

the gear engaged, while progressively releasing

the brakes.

This mode adapts its strategy to the

conditions of grip encountered for each of

the two front wheels on moving oﬀ.

These systems are reactivated automatically

from 31 mph (50 km/h) and whenever the

ignition is switched on.

(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))

For the system to activate, the gradient

must be greater than 5%.

The system can be used with the gearbox in

neutral.

Otherwise, engage a gear corresponding to

the speed to prevent the engine stalling.

With an automatic gearbox, the system can

be used with the selector at N, D or R.

All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)

This mode, when moving oﬀ, allows

considerable spin on the wheel with the

least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to

regain grip. 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 wheel spin

to respond to the driver's requirements as fully

as possible.

Recommendations

Your vehicle is designed principally to

drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to

occasionally drive on other less passable

terrain.

However, it does not permit oﬀ-road driving

such as:

– crossing and driving on terrain which

could damage the underbody or strip away

components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due

to obstacles or stones in particular,

– driving on terrain with steep gradients and

poor grip,

When the system is regulating, the Active

Safety Brake system is automatically

deactivated.

(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))

The system is no longer available if the

speed of the vehicle is:

– above 43 mph (70 km/h).

– managed by the Adaptive cruise control,

depending on the type of gearbox.

Sand

This mode allows little spin on the two

driving wheels at the same time to allow

the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of

getting stuck in the sand.

– crossing a stream.

(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))

Hill Assist Descent

Control

Switching on

By default, the system is not selected.

The state of the function is not saved when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

Do not use the other modes on sand as

the vehicle may become stuck.

Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to

steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces

(e.g. gravel, mud).

Deactivation

You can deactivate the ASR and DSC

systems by turning the knob to the "OFF"

position.

This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of

control of the vehicle when descending, whether

going forward or in reverse.

Safety

The front seat belts are ﬁtted with a pyrotechnic

indicator lamp goes back to grey in the

instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in

the button remains on.

Regulation resumes automatically when the

speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the

slope and pedal release conditions are met.

You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal

again at any time.

pretensioning system and force limiter.

This system improves safety in the front seats

in the event of a front or side impact. Depending

on the severity of the impact, the pyrotechnic

pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat

belts against the body of the occupants.

The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are

enabled when the ignition is on.

Switching oﬀ

► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes

oﬀ; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel

goes oﬀ.

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the

seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus

improving their protection.

► To select the system, at speeds below

31 mph (50 km/h), press this button until

its lamp lights up; this indicator lamp appears in

green on the instrument panel.

At speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system

is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in

the button goes oﬀ.

The system becomes active at speeds below 19

mph (30 km/h).

The front seat belts are ﬁtted with a single

pyrotechnic pretensioning system (or double on

the driver’s side, depending on equipment) and a

force limiter (or progressive force limiter on the

driver’s side, depending on equipment options).

This system improves safety in the front seats in

the event of a front or side impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the

single pyrotechnic pretensioning system

instantly tightens the seat belts against the body

of the occupants.

The double pyrotechnic pretensionsining system

operates the same way, except that it uses two

anchor points rather than one, for enhanced

eﬀectiveness.

The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are

enabled when the ignition is on.

► When the vehicle begins its descent, the

driver can release the accelerator and brake

pedals; the system regulates the speed:

– If the gearbox is in ﬁrst or second gear,

the speed decreases and the

indicator lamp ﬂashes rapidly.

– If the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch

pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and

the indicator lamp ﬂashes slowly; in this case,

the maintained descent speed is lower.

On a downward slope, with the vehicle

stationary, if the driver releases the accelerator

and brake pedals, the system will release the

brakes to set the vehicle gradually in motion.

The brake lamps light up automatically when the

system is regulating.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.
