instrument panel FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
82) If the camera loses its position
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.
83) The system only detects the
preset traffic signs. If the
minimum visibility conditions and
distance from the sign are met
it can detect all traffic signs.
84) The system is a driving
assistance system but it does not
relieve the driver of the
responsibility of driving with due
attention and diligence in
compliance with the laws in force.
85) When the system is active, the
driver is responsible for
controlling the vehicle and
monitoring the system, and must
intervene as appropriate if
necessary.
IMPORTANT
10) If the sensor is blocked, the
system may not work.
11) In the case of low temperatures
or harsh weather conditions, the
system may not work.
12) Rain, snow, splashes and strong
light contrast may influence the
sensor.
13) Do not repair the area of the
windscreen directly surrounding
the sensor.
14) If the vehicle is equipped with a
non-genuine suspension kit, the
system may not work correctly.
15) Always use genuine spare parts
when replacing the bulbs of the
headlights. Other bulbs may
reduce the system performance.
16) Clean the windscreen from
foreign matters such as bird
droppings, insects, snow or ice.
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of emission-related
components on the vehicle to be
made.
It also alerts the driver, by turning
on the
warning light in the
instrument panel (together with
relevant message in the
multifunction display, for versions/
markets where provided) when
these components are no longer in
peak condition (see “Warning
lights and messages” paragraph).
The aim of the system is to:
❒monitor system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions due
to vehicle malfunction;
❒indicate the need to replace
components which have
deteriorated.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor faults will be
indicated when reverse is engaged
by the warning light
in the
instrument panel or by the icon
on the display and by the
message in the multifunction
display (for versions/markets, where
provided)
OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is
automatically deactivated when the
electric cable plug of the trailer is
inserted into the vehicle tow hook
socket.
The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable
plug is removed.
17)
86)
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave
the tow hook fitted without towing a
trailer, it is advisable to contact a
Fiat Dealership for the relevant
system update operations because
the tow hook could be detected
as an obstacle by the central
sensors.When using special washing
equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the
sensors very quickly keeping the jet
more than 10 cm away.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
❒Do not apply stickers to the sensors.
❒When parking, take the utmost
care over obstacles that may be
above or under the sensor.
❒Objects close to the vehicle, in
certain circumstances are not
detected and could therefore cause
damage to the vehicle or be
damaged.
The following conditions may
influence the performance of the
parking assistance system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the
sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint.❒The sensor may detect a non-
existent obstacle (echo noise) due to
mechanical noises, for example
when washing the vehicle, in case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The signals sent by the sensors can
also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle.
❒The performance of the parking
assistance system may also be
affected by the position of the
sensors. For example by a change in
the ride setting (caused by the wear
of the shock absorbers, suspension),
changing the tyres, overloading the
vehicle and carrying out specific
tuning operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
❒Detection of obstacles in the upper
part of the vehicle (particularly in the
case of vans or chassis cabs) may
not be guaranteed because the
system detects obstacles that could
strike the lower part of the vehicle.
102
KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

❒vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
❒stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than
about three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine
can be automatically restarted only
by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
NoteIf the engine stops and this is
not desired, due for example to the
clutch pedal being released sharply
with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop
system is active, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch
pedal or by placing the gear lever in
neutral.
NoteIf the clutch is not pressed, when
approx. three minutes have elapsed
since the engine was stopped, the
engine can only be restarted using the
key.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions
through the Start&Stop system, if
the driver unfastens his/her seat
belt and opens the driver's door or
the passenger door, the engine
can be restarted only by using the
key. The driver is notified of this
condition by a buzzer, through the
warning light flashing in the
instrument panel and, where
provided, by a message in the
display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
If, after the engine has been
automatically restarted, the driver
does not take any action for a
period of about 3 minutes,
the Start&Stop system will
definitively stop the engine to avoid
fuel consumption. The engine
can only be started using the key in
such cases.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating
the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR
OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the
Start&Stop system is deactivated.
The driver is informed about the
fault through the switching on of the
icon together with a message
on the display. In this case, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
In the event of vehicle inactivity,
special attention must be paid to
the disconnection of the battery
power supply. Proceed as follows:
detach connector A fig. 134 (by
pressing button B) from sensor C
for monitoring the status of the
battery installed on the negative
battery pole D. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the
pole except if the battery is
replaced.
87) 88)
IMPORTANT After turning the
ignition key to STOP, wait at least 1
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

SPEEDOMETER
(speed indicator)
Indicator A shows the speed of the
car.
REV COUNTER
Indicator C shows the engine revs.
IMPORTANT The electronic
injection control system gradually
shuts off the flow of fuel when
the engine is over-revving, resulting
in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the
rev counter may indicate a gradual
or sudden increase of the speed.
This is normal and does not
indicate a fault. It may be caused,
for example, by the activation of the
climate control system or fan. In
these cases, a slow change in revs
is used to protect the battery
charge.FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Needle E shows the amount of fuel
left in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in
paragraph "Vehicle refuelling" in this
chapter).
The warning light on the indicator
switches on when there are about
10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with
tank capacity 90-120 l) or 10 l (for
versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank.
Do not travel with the tank nearly
empty to prevent damaging the
catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point
to E and the warning light will
flash to indicate a fault in the
system. If this is the case, go to a
Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to
activate the additional Webasto
heater in reserve conditions.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle D shows the
temperature of the engine coolant
and starts supplying indications
when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50°C. In normal use, the
needle could assume different
positions within the scale,
depending on the usage
conditions.
C - Low engine coolant
temperature.
H - High engine coolant
temperature.
The warning light on the indicator
may light up (and a message on the
display may appear on certain
versions) to indicate that the
coolant fluid temperature is too
high; in this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
