FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER 2014 Owner handbook (in English)

Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel fig. 62 for more than two
seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT
SENSOR (dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects variations in brightness
outside the vehicle depending on the
light sensitivity setting: the greater
the sensitivity, the less outside light
needed to activate the exterior lights.
The sensitivity of the dusk sensor is
adjusted by means of the "Setup
menu" of the display.
Activation
Turn the ring nut to position
fig. 63:
this turns the side lights and the dipped
beam headlights on simultaneously
and automatically depending on the
exterior brightness conditions.
Deactivation
On the sensor’s deactivation command,
the main beam headlights will switch
off, followed by the side lights after
approximately 10 seconds.
The sensor is not capable of detecting
the presence of fog. Therefore, in
these circumstances, the lights have to
be turned on manually.
WARNING
23) The daytime running lights are
an alternative to dipped beam
headlights for driving during the
daytime. They are compliant in
countries where is it obligatory to
have lights on during the day
and permitted in those where it is
not obligatory. Daytime running
lights cannot replace dipped
beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The
use of daytime running lights is
governed by the highway code of
the country in which you are
driving. Comply with legal
requirements.24) The system is based on
recognition via a camera.
Particular environmental
conditions may affect the correct
recognition of traffic conditions.
Therefore, the driver is always
responsible for the correct use of
the main beam headlights in
compliance with the laws in force.
Rotate the ring nut to the
fig.
58 position to deactivate the
automatic function.
25) Should the camera tilt too much
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.

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 (+).
66 - Versions without Speed Limiter
F1A0364
67 - Versions with Speed Limiter
F1A0363
50
KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Each activation of the lever
corresponds to an increase in speed of
about 1 km/h, whilst keeping the lever
upwards varies the speed continuously.
Reducing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by switching off the device and then
storing the new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (-)
until the new speed, which will be
stored automatically, is reached.
Each movement of the lever will
correspond to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the lever held downwards will decrease
the speed continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be switched off by
the driver in the following ways:
❒turning ring nut A to OFF orO
(according to the version);
❒by stopping the engine;Deactivating the
function
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
❒turning ring nut A to OFF orO
(according to the version);
❒pressing the button B, both with
symbolIIand symbol CANC/RES,
the system pauses;
❒by stopping the engine;
❒by pressing the brake pedal or
operating the handbrake;
❒by pressing the clutch pedal;
❒requesting a gear shift with an
automatic transmission in sequential
mode;
❒with the vehicle speed below the set
limit
❒by pressing the accelerator pedal; in
this case the system is not actually
turned off but the acceleration
request takes priority; the Cruise
Control remains activated, without
the need to press the CANC/RES
button to restore the previous
conditions once the acceleration is
over.
The device is automatically switched off
in the following cases:
❒if the ABS or ESP systems cut in;❒in the event of system failure.
27) 28)
SPEED LIMITER
This device allows the speed of the car
to be limited to values which can be
set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with vehicle stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.
When the device is active, the car
speed depends on the pressure at the
accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached
(see "Speed limit programming"
paragraph).
If necessary (in the event of overtaking
for example), the set speed limit can
be exceeded by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal.
By gradually reducing the pressure on
the accelerator pedal, the function
will be reactivated as soon as the car
speed drops below the set speed.
51

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.
