warning FIAT DUCATO 2014 3.G Owner's Manual

The rain sensor is located behind the
rear view mirror in contact with the
windscreen and has the purpose of
automatically adjusting the frequency of
the windscreen wiper strokes
depending on the intensity of the rain
during intermittent operation.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the
sensor area clean.
Activation fig. 64
Move the right lever down by one click
(position B).
The activation of the sensor is signalled
by a "stroke" to show that the
command has been acquired.
Turn the control F to increase the rain
sensor sensitivity.
The increasing of the rain sensor
sensitivity is signalled by a "stroke" to
show that the command has been
acquired.
If the windscreen washer is used with
the rain sensor activated, the normal
washing cycle is performed, after which
the rain sensor resumes its normal
automatic operation.Deactivation fig. 64
Move the lever from position B or turn
the ignition key to OFF. The next time
the vehicle is started (ignition key in ON
position), the sensor is not reactivated
even if the lever is still in position B.
To activate the sensor, move the lever
to position A or C and then back to
position B or turn the ring nut for
adjusting the sensitivity. Rain sensor
activation will be indicated by at least
one wiper “stroke” even if the
windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is capable of
recognising the difference between day
and night and making the necessary
adjustments automatically.
26)
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The headlight washers are “retractable”,
i.e.: they are located inside the front
bumper and they are activated when
(with dipped beams on) the windscreen
washer is operated.
IMPORTANT Check the correct
condition and cleanliness of nozzles at
regular intervals.
IMPORTANT
3) Do not use the screen wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice
from the windscreen. In such
conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation
for a few seconds, may intervene.
If operation is not restored,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
26) Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade movements.

CRUISE CONTROL(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic driving aid that
allows you to drive at a speed of
above 30 km/h on long and straight
dry roads with few driving changes
(e.g. motorways) at a preset speed
without having to press the
accelerator pedal. It is therefore not
recommended to use this device
on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do
not use it in town.
Switching the device on
Turn ring nut A fig. 66 - fig. 67 to ON
or
(according to the version).The Cruise Control cannot be engaged
in 1st or reverse gear. It is advisable
to engage it in 4th or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the vehicle speed may
slightly exceed the stored one.
When the device is activated the
warning light
comes on together
with the relevant message on the
instrument panel.
Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 66 - fig. 67 to ON
or
(according to the version) and
press the accelerator pedal so that
the vehicle reaches the desired
speed;❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it. The
vehicle speed is now stored and
you can therefore release the
accelerator pedal.
If necessary (e.g. when overtaking)
acceleration is possible by simply
pressing the accelerator pedal:
releasing the accelerator pedal the car
will return to the speed stored
previously.
Restoring the stored
speed
If the device has been deactivated, for
example by depressing the brake or
clutch pedal, the stored speed can be
restored as follows:
❒accelerate progressively until a speed
close to that stored is reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
❒press button B fig. 66 - fig. 67.
Increasing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and
storing the new speed reached
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+).

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Switching the device on
To activate the device, turn ring nut A
fig. 68 to position
.
Activation of the device is indicated by
the
warning light on the instrument
panel switching on and, on some
versions, by a message on the display
plus last programmed speed value.
Speed limit
programming
The speed limit can be programmed
without necessarily activating the
device.
To store a speed value higher than that
displayed, move stalk A upwards (+).
Each movement of the stalk
corresponds to an increase in speed of
about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk
held upwards will increase the speed
with an increment of 5 km/h.To store a value lower than that
displayed, move stalk A downwards (–).
Each movement of the stalk
corresponds to a decrease in speed of
about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk
held downwards a decrease of 5 km/h
is obtained.
Activating/deactivating
the device
Press the CANC RES button to
activate/deactivate the device.
The activation of the device is indicated
by the
warning light on the
instrument panel switching on.
The deactivation of the function is
instead indicated by the
symbol on
the display.
Exceeding the
programmed speed
By fully depressing the accelerator
pedal, the programmed speed can be
exceeded even with the device active.
IMPORTANT A slight hardening of
the accelerator pedal is perceived when
the end of travel is reached. This is to
intentionally signal to the driver that the
speed control system is being
deactivated.When the programmed speed limit is
reached by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal, it is normal to
perceive increased resistance on the
pedal itself.
In this case the device is deactivated
temporarily and the set speed flashes
on the display.
Reducing the speed below the
programmed value reactivates the
device automatically.
IMPORTANT With the device
deactivated, the car maximum speed is
reached before the end of travel with
the load hardening.
Flashing of programmed
speed
The programmed speed flashes in the
following cases:
❒when the accelerator pedal has been
fully depressed and the car speed
has exceeded programmed speed;
❒when the device cannot reduce the
speed of the car due to the gradient
of the road;
❒in the event of sharp acceleration.

FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCHThe vehicle is fitted with a safety switch
that, in the event of a crash, comes
into operation by cutting off the fuel
supply and turning off the engine as a
consequence.When the inertia switch cuts in, it cuts
off the fuel supply and also activates
the hazard warning lights, side lights
and courtesy lights while releasing
all the doors and displaying the relevant
message; they are deactivated by
pressing button A. On some versions,
there is also a safety relay that activates
in the event of impact to cut off the
electrical supply. In this way, fuel is
prevented from escaping if the pipes
are broken and the formation of sparks
or electrical discharges following
damage to the vehicle electrical
components is avoided.
29) 30)
IMPORTANT After an accident,
remember to remove the key from the
ignition device to prevent the battery
from running down. If no fuel leaks
or damage to vehicle's electrical
devices (e.g. headlights) are detected
after the impact and the vehicle is
able to set off again, reactivate the
automatic fuel cut-off switch.Restoring the fuel
cut-off switch
Press button A fig. 81 to reactivate the
fuel cut off switch.
WARNING
