reset FIAT DUCATO 244 2005 3.G Owners Manual

Always adjust the height of the seat
belt to fit the person wearing it. This
could greatly reduce the risk of injury
in the case of collision.
The belt is adjusted properly when
the webbing passes approximately
halfway between the edge of the
shoulder and the neck.
5 different adjustments in height are
provided.PRETENSIONERS
Ducato vehicles fitted with airbags
are also fitted with pretensioners to
improve protection.
These devices “feel” that a violent
collision is in progress via a sensor and
pull back a few inches of webbing. In
this way the pretensioners ensure that
the belt is adhering perfectly to the
body before the belt begins to hold
back the wearer.
When the pretensioner has been
triggered the retractor will lock. The
seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.
After you have made the
adjustment, always make
sure that the loop is attached firm-
ly in one of the preset positions. To
do this, with the button released,
exert a further pressure to allow
the anchoring device to catch if re-
lease did not take place at one of
the preset positions.

SERVICE INDICATOR
Scheduled Servicing provides vehicle
servicing every 30.000/20.000/15.000
kilometres or once a year. For Coun-
tries / markets where applicable,
Scheduled Servicing provides vehicle
servicing every 18.600 / 12.500 / 9.300
miles (instead of kilometres) or once
a year.
This indication will be displayed au-
tomatically when turning the ignition
key to MAR, through servicing indica-
tor 1-fig. 43or 1-fig.44and through
kilometre indicator 2-fig. 43or daily
indicator 2-fig. 44when 2.000 km (or
1.200 mi) or 30 days are left before the
next service operation deadline and it
is proposed again every 200 km (or
200 mi) or every three days.

IMPORTANTalways follow the
terms indicated in “Scheduled Mainte-
nance Program” in section “Vehicle
Maintenance”.
Each time the key is turned to MAR,
the system checks the warning light for
about 5 seconds.
The service indicator only works
when the engine is not running and the
ignition key is at MAR.
With key at MARalso the service in-
dicator symbol 1-fig. 41is displayed.Service frequency
The indicator is planned for 20.000
km yearly; for Countries / markets
where applicable, the indicator is
planned for 12.500 miles. If the vehi-
cle is normally used in different con-
ditions than the preset ones, the ser-
vice frequency can be changed ac-
cording to vehicle use (normal or se-
vere) and the type of engine (petrol or
Diesel).
The display will show the following
codes:
CFG 1- 30.000 km (or 18.600 mi)
and 365 days for normalve-
hicle usefor engines: 2.0
petrol, 2.0 JTD, 2.8 JTD and
2.8 JTD POWER, or for se-
vere use for 2.3 JTD engine.
CFG 2- 20.000 km (or 12.500 mi)
and 365 days for severe use
for engines: 2.0 petrol, 2.0

CONTROLS fig. 100
The cruise control is controlled by
a set of controls located on the steer-
ing wheel.
1) ONdevice on
2) OFFdevice off
3) RESto reset the memorised
speed
4) +to store and to keep the vehicle
speed or to increase the speed memo-
rised
5) – to lower the speed memorised.
IMPORTANTPressing button
OFFor turning the key to STOP,
the memorised speed is cancelled and
the system disengaged.IMPORTANTIn the case of need
(when overtaking for instance) accel-
eration is possible simply pressing the
accelerator pedal; later, releasing the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will re-
turn to the speed memorised previ-
ously.
To reset the memorised speed
If the device has been disengaged for
example pressing the brake or clutch
pedal, the memorised speed can be re-
set as follows:
– accelerate gradually until reaching
a speed approaching the one memo-
rised;
– engage the gear selected at the
time of speed memorising (4
thor 5th
speed);
– press button RES. To memorise the speed
Press button ONand take the ve-
hicle to the required speed normally.
Press button +for at least three sec-
onds, then release it. The vehicle
speed is memorised and it is therefore
possible to release the accelerator
pedal.
The vehicle will carry on its ride at
the constant memorised speed until
one of the following condition occurs:
– pressing the brake pedal;
– pressing the clutch pedal;
– inadvertently moving the automat-
ic gearbox selector to N.

70GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
To increase the memorised
speed
The speed memorised can be in-
creased in two ways:
1 -pressing the accelerator and then
memorising the new speed reached
(pressing button + for more than
three seconds);
2 -pressing briefly button +: each
pressing will correspond to a slight in-
crease in speed (about 2.5 km/h) while
pressing continuously will correspond
to a continuous speed increase. Re-
leasing the button the new speed will
be memorised automatically.
To reduce the memorised
speed
The speed memorised can be re-
duced in two ways:
1 -disengaging the device (for in-
stance pressing the brake pedal) and
then memorising the new speed
(pressing button +for more than
three seconds);
2 -pressing button –until reaching
the new speed which will be memo-
rised automatically.To set to zero the memorised
speed
The memorised speed is automati-
cally reset:
– turning the engine off;
– pressing buttonOFF.Do not engage the device in town or
in busy flowing traffic conditions.
When travelling with the
cruise control on, do not
move the gearshift lever to neutral
and to not move the automatic
gearbox selector to N. We suggest
to engage the cruise control only
when the traffic and road condi-
tions allow doing it in complete
safety and so: straight and dry
roads, freeways or motorways,
smooth flowing traffic and even as-
phalt.
WARNING
The cruise control can be en-
gaged only with speeds high-
er than 40 km/h. The device may on-
ly be engaged in 4
thor 5thgear, de-
pending on the speed of the vehicle.
On vehicles with electronic automat-
ic gearbox it can only be engaged
with selector to D, in automatic mode
without then moving the selector
manually, or with 3
rdor 4thgear in se-
quential operation. Travelling down-
hill with the device engaged, the ve-
hicle speed may increase more than
the memorised one, due to the
change in the engine load.

177VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
ELECTRONIC
CONTROL UNIT
When the vehicle is being used nor-
mally, special measures are not nec-
essary.
The following instructions must be
followed very carefully however, if
you work on the electrical system or
in cases where emergency starting is
necessary:
– never disconnect the battery from
the electric system while the engine is
running;
– disconnect the battery from the
electric system if you are recharging it;
– never perform emergency starting
with a battery charger. Always use an
auxiliary battery;
– be particularly careful when con-
necting the battery to the electric sys-
tem. Make sure that the polarity is
correct and that the connection is ef-
ficient;
– do not connect or disconnect the
terminals of the electronic units while
the ignition key is at MAR;
– do not check polarity through
sparking;– disconnect the electronic control
units if you are electrically welding the
vehicle body. Remove the units if tem-
peratures exceed 80 °C (special op-
erations on the bodywork, etc.).
IMPORTANTIf the sound system
or vehicle alarm systems are not in-
stalled correctly, they can interfere
with the working of the electronic
control units.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system car-
ried out incorrectly and without
bearing the features of the system
in mind can cause malfunctions
with the risk of fire.
WARNING
SPEED LIMITER
On certain version, the injection con-
trol unit is set to limit the vehicle
speed at a max. preset limit.
Speed limits are the following:
– for Minibus versions (M2 homolo-
gation category): 100 km/h;
– for good Transport versions (ve-
hicle dead weight: > 3.5 t) (N2 ho-
mologation category): 90 km/h;
Label (fig.16) with admitted top
speed (90 or 100 km/h according to
versions) is applied on the wind-
screen.
This limit has been established by Eu-
ropean Directive 2002/85/EC, what-
ever violation is therefore punishable
by law.
IMPORTANTWhen the device
comes into action, the speed value
displayed on the instrument panel
could be approx. 10% higher than the
actual one.
