What is a Citroen Berlingo accessory belt?

When should you change the Citroen Berlingo accessory belt?
Typical replacement is every 60,000–120,000 km or 4–6 years. Signs of wear include: squealing noise (especially at start-up or in wet weather), visible cracks or fraying. Always replace the tensioner and any idler pulleys at the same time.
