turn signal FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER 2017 Owner handbook (in English)

SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when
using this component. Under the
bonnet there is also a label that
summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when
the key is removed from the ignition
device.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an antenna
built into the ignition device. The
signal, which changes each time the
engine is started, is the “password”,
by means of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started turning
the ignition key toMAR-ON, the Fiat
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised
the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
control module.
Irregular operation
If the code has not been recognised
correctly during starting, the
warning light on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by the
corresponding message on the display
(see the “Warning lights and messages”
chapter).
In this case, turn the key toSTOPand
then back toMAR; if the lock
continues, try with the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start
the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by the
system's control unit. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have new keys (up to 8)
stored with a code.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

5)Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations be carried out
involving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device). This could negatively
affect performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty, cause serious safety
problems and also result in vehicle
non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.ELECTRONIC ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote
control functions described previously,
is controlled by the receiver located
under the dashboard near the fuse box.
Activation
With the doors and bonnet closed and
the ignition key either turned to STOP
or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and
press and release the lock button.
Excluding some markets, the system
produces an acoustic signal (beep) and
enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is
preceded by an self-diagnosis stage: if
a fault is detected, the system
produces another acoustic signal.
In this case, turn the alarm off by
pressing the "release doors/release
load compartment" button, check that
the doors and bonnet are properly
closed and turn the alarm back on by
pressing the lock button.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly
shut, it will be excluded from the testing
by the alarm system.If the alarm produces an acoustic signal
even when the doors and bonnet are
correctly closed, a fault has occurred in
the operation of the system. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not come
on when the central locking is activated
using the metal insert in the key.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to
meet requirements in various countries.
Turning off
Press the door release/load
compartment release button on the key
with remote control.
The following operations are performed
(excluding some markets):
direction indicators flash twice;
there are two short acoustic signals
(beeps);
doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not switch
off when the central opening is
activated using the metal insert in the
key.

Turn the metal insert anticlockwise fig. 6
in the driver's side door lock to unlock
all the doors. With the battery
disconnected, access to the vehicle will
only be possible by unlocking the
driver's door using the mechanical lock.
Locking/unlocking doors from the
inside
Press the button A fig. 7 to lock the
doors and press it again to unlock
them. Locking / unlocking is centralized
(front and rear).
When the doors are locked, the LED in
button A is on and, when the button
is pressed again, all the doors are
centrally unlocked and the warning light
is switched off.
When the doors are unlocked, the LED
is off and pressing the button again
centrally locks all the doors. The doors
will be locked only if all the doors are
properly shut.Following the locking of the doors
using:
remote control
door pawl
it will not be possible to unlock using
the button A fig. 7 on the dashboard.
IMPORTANT With the central locking
on, pulling the opening lever for one of
the front doors causes the central
locking to be switched off. Individual
doors can be unlocked by pulling
the opening handle of one of the rear
doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown
fuse, battery disconnected, etc.) it is,
however, possible to lock the doors
manually.
After exceeding 20 km/h, all the doors
will be locked automatically if the setup
menu function has been selected
(see “Multifunction display” paragraph
in this section).
LOCKING/UNLOCKING
THE LOAD
COMPARTMENT
The activation of the locking is signalled
by the LED in the button.
The LED comes on in the following
cases:
after each door lock command from
the D fig. 8 or
button on the
dashboard;
when the instrument panel is
activated;
upon opening of one of the front
doors;
when the door is locked at 20 km/h
(if activated from the menu).
The lock is turned off when one of the
load compartment doors is opened
or on a door release request (load
compartment or centralised) or
an unlocking request from the remote
control/door catch.
DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It is a safety device that disables
operation of the interior handles.
Operate the lock/unlock button A fig. 7
to prevent opening the doors from
inside the passenger compartment in
the event of an attempted break-in (e.g.
when a window is broken).

space in front of the vehicle for a preset
time.
Activation
With ignition key in the OFF position or
removed, pull the stalk towards the
steering wheel fig. 43 and move it
within 2 minutes of stopping the engine.
Each time the stalk is moved, the
lights stay on for an extra 30 seconds
up to a maximum of 210 seconds; then
the lights are switched off automatically.
The
warning light on the
instrument panel will light up and the
corresponding message will appear in
the display (see “Warning lights and
messages” section) for as long as the
function is activated.The warning light comes on when the
stalk is operated and stays on until
the function is automatically
deactivated.
Each time the stalk is activated it
increases the time that the lights remain
on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel fig. 43 for more than 2
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.

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. 56
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.
33)
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.
WARNING
33)Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade movements.
WARNING
4)Never use the windscreen 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.

What it means What to do
red
amber
amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights (for
versions/markets, where provided) with the engine on
indicates either an anomaly of the EBD system or that
the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve
when braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system inspected immediately.
redAIR BAG FAILURE
The warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly if there is a failure
in the airbag system.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
43) 44)
redSEAT BELTS REMINDER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the
vehicle stationary and the driver’s seat belt not
fastened.
The warning light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the
vehicle is in motion and the driver’s seat belt is not
correctly fastened.For permanent deactivation of the acoustic signal
(buzzer) of the SBR. (Seat Belt Reminder) system
contact a Fiat Dealership. With the multifunction
display, you can also reactivate the system through the
Setup menu.
57

What it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light
comes on, but should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with
the message in the display when the system detects
that the engine oil pressure is insufficient.
8)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(MultiJet versions with DPF only)
The warning light starts to flash together with a
message on the display (for versions/markets, where
provided) when the system detects that the engine oil
has deteriorated.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the
vehicle is faulty, but simply informs the driver that it is
now necessary to change the engine oil as a result of
regular vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, warning
light
will also come on and engine operation is
limited to 3000 rpm when a second threshold is
reached.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration
threshold is reached, the engine is limited to 1500 rpm
to avoid damage.Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
45) 46)
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is
accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF
regeneration process more frequent
– use of the vehicle for short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

What it means What to do
amberDRIVING ADVISOR
The two warning lights on indicate that the system has
started recognising the operating conditions.
When the system recognises the operating conditions,
it becomes active, i.e. it can assist the driver with
visual and acoustic warnings. Therefore, the warning
lights switch off.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no longer
present, the system is engaged but inactive, and
therefore the two warning lights on the panel switch
on.
When the system is active, if the vehicle gets close to
one of the side limit lines or one of the two
demarcation lines of the lane, the driver is warned with
an acoustic signal along with the direction warning
light (right or left) on the panel lighting up.
A system failure is indicated by the two direction
indicator lights
andon the display turning on
together with a buzzer and a dedicated message.
69

ESC (Electronic
Stability Control)
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The ESC system improves the
directional control and stability of the
vehicle in various driving conditions.
The ESC system corrects the vehicle’s
understeer and oversteer, distributing
the brake force on the appropriate
wheels. The torque supplied by the
engine can also be reduced in order to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The ESC system uses the sensors in
the vehicle to determine the trajectory
required by the driver through steering
and compares it with the real trajectory
of the vehicle. When the real trajectory
deviates from the desired trajectory, the
ESC system intervenes to counter the
car’s understeer or oversteer.
Oversteer: occurs when the vehicle
is turning more than it should according
to the angle of the steering wheel.
Understeer: occurs when the vehicle
is turning less than it should according
to the angle of the steering wheel.The ESC system also includes the
following subsystems:
Hill Holder
ASR
HBA
ERM
HDC
57) 58) 59)
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of the
warning light in the instrument panel,
to inform the driver that the vehicle is
in critical stability and grip conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESC system switches on
automatically when the engine is
started and cannot be switched off.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESC system and facilitates starting on
slopes.
It is automatically activated in the
following conditions:
uphill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%, engine
running, brake pressed and gearbox
in neutral or gear (other than reverse)
engaged;
downhill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%, engine
running, brake pressed and reverse
gear engaged.
When setting off, the ESC system
control unit maintains the braking
pressure on the wheels until the torque
necessary for starting is reached, or
in any case for a maximum of 2
seconds, allowing your right foot to be
moved easily from the brake pedal to
the accelerator.
When two seconds have elapsed,
without starting, the system is
automatically deactivated, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this release stage, the typical brake
disengagement noise indicating that the
vehicle is going to move imminently
will be heard.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is
not a parking brake; therefore, never
leave the vehicle without having
engaged the handbrake, turned the
engine off and engaged first gear,
so that it is parked in safe conditions
(for further information read the
"Parking" paragraph in the "Starting
and driving" chapter).

SAFETY

The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to the
driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with
a suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not cause
the tyre pressure control warning light
to switch on.
The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal pressure
loss of the tyre.
The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.Tyre pressure monitoring system
low pressure warnings
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by turning on the
warning light on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).
In this case, stop the vehicle as soon as
possible, check the inflation pressure
of each tyre and inflate to the cold tyre
pressure value prescribed for the
vehicle. The system will automatically
update and after receiving the tyre
pressure update the tyre pressure
control warning light switches off. You
may need to drive the vehicle for about
20 minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the system to receive this
information.
TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by the
corresponding warning light
, which
first flashes for 75 seconds and then
stays on continuously. This can occur in
any of the following situations:
interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
Use of snow chains.
Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure control
sensor. Therefore, the tyre pressure is
not controlled by the system.
If the space-saver wheel replaces a
tyre with a pressure lower than the
insufficient pressure limit, an acoustic
signal will be emitted and the
warning light will turn on at the next
start-up.
When the original tyre is repaired or
replaced and it is mounted back on
the vehicle to replace the space-saver
wheel, the TPMS will update
automatically and the warning light will
switch off, provided that the pressure of
none of the four tyres is below the
insufficient pressure limit. You may need
to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
