turn signal FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
Use of snow chains.
Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPMS 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.
WARNING
69)The TPMS is optimised for the original
tyres and wheels provided. TPMS
pressures and alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres mounted
on the vehicle. Using equipment with
different size, type or kind may cause
irregular system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare wheels can
damage the sensor. Do not use tyre
sealant or balancing weights if the vehicle
is equipped with TPMS as these may
damage the sensors.
70)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
71)The TPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system.
72)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
73)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.74)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
75)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect your ability to drive the
vehicle safely.
76)Always refit the valve stem cap after
inspecting or adjusting tyre pressure. This
prevents dampness or dirt from entering
the valve stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being damaged.
77)The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants
not equivalent with the original ones are
used, it is recommended to have the
TPMS sensor operation checked by a
qualified repair centre.

SAFETY

DRIVING ADVISOR
(lane crossing warning)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
78) 79) 80)
The Driving Advisor is a warning system
that notifies the driver if he/she crosses
the lane because he/she has been
distracted.
A video sensor, fitted on the windscreen
near the interior rear view mirror,
detects the lane demarcation lines and
the position of the vehicle in relation
to them.
IMPORTANT On cars with Driving
Advisor, it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership should the windscreen
need to be replaced. If the repair is
carried out at a specialist window
replacement centre, it is still necessary
to go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
camera calibrated.
OPERATION
The system is always active when the
vehicle is started. It can be deactivated
or re-activated by pressing the button
A fig. 104 on the dashboard (see
following description).
The LED on the button switches on to
confirm that the system has been
activated and a dedicated message
appears on the display.When the system is activated, the LED
on the dedicated button is off. If the
user deactivates the system, the LED
on the button switches on constantly
and a dedicated message appears
on the display to confirm that the
system has been switched off.
The system is enabled each time the
vehicle key is cycled and starts
recognition of the operating conditions
(condition signalled to the driver when
the 2 direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel turn on).
When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes active,
i.e. it can assist the driver with visual
and acoustic warnings. Therefore, the
two direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel turn off to
prevent excessively frequent warnings
while driving in towns or on winding
roads at low speeds.IMPORTANT If the operating conditions
are no longer present, the system
remains activated but inactive.
Therefore, the driver is warned by the 2
direction warning lights
andon
the instrument panel turning on
continuously.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
front driving direction (reverse not
engaged);
the system does not detect any
error;
calibration in progress;
vehicle speed between 60 km/h and
the max. vehicle speed;
presence of lane demarcation lines
not deteriorated and visible on both
sides;
suitable visibility conditions;
straight line or wide radius bends;
sufficient field of vision condition
(safety distance from vehicle in front);
direction indicators not activated
in the lane exiting direction (e.g. right
lane exiting direction, right direction
indicator activated);

93

vehicle direction getting constantly
closer to the lane demarcation lines (the
vehicle trajectory is within the lane
demarcation lines);
vehicle not constantly next to the
lane demarcation line.
ACTIVATING/
DEACTIVATING THE
SYSTEM
When the system is active, if the vehicle
gets close to one of the side
demarcation lines or one of the two
lane demarcation lines, the driver is
warned with an acoustic signal (coming
from the crossed line side if the vehicle
is equipped with the radio navigation
system) along with the corresponding
direction warning light (
or) lighting
up.
If the driver turns on the direction
indicator in order to change lanes or for
overtaking, then the system will switch
off the driver warning.
If the driver keeps deliberately with the
lane change manoeuvre, the system
interrupts the warning, remaining
enabled if the operating conditions are
not satisfied or active if the operating
conditions are exceeded (see the
dedicated paragraph).SWITCHING OFF THE
SYSTEM
Manual mode
The system can be switched off by
pressing button A fig. 104 on the
dashboard.
The LED on the button switches on and
a message appears on the display to
confirm that the system has been
switched off.
Automatic mode
If the Start&Stop is active the system
deactivates automatically. The system
will reactivate and check its operating
conditions again after the vehicle has
been started.
SYSTEM FAILURE
In the event of malfunction, the system
signals the fault to the driver with a
message on the display, an acoustic
warning and by turning on the
icon
on the display (for versions/markets,
where provided).
IMPORTANT NOTES
The Driving Advisor cannot operate due
to a not perfectly balanced and
excessive load.The operation of the system can be
adversely affected in some cases
by the morphology of the territory/road
being driven on (e.g. driving over
humps), poor visibility conditions (e.g.
fog, rain, snow), extreme light
conditions (e.g. glare of the sun,
darkness), lack of cleanliness
or damage, even partial, to the
windscreen in the area in front of the
camera.
The Driving Advisor cannot operate
following a malfunction of the following
safety systems: ABS, ESC, ASR and
Traction Plus.
The operation of the system can be
adversely affected by poor visibility
conditions (e.g. fog, rain, snow),
extreme light conditions (glare of the
sun, darkness), lack of cleaning or
damage, even partial, to the
windscreen in the area in front the
camera.
The area of the windscreen by the
camera must not be partly or totally
obscured by objects (e.g. stickers,
protective film, etc.).

SAFETY

PROCEDURE FOR
NATURAL POWER
VERSIONS
(For versions/markets, where provided)
The various engine cranking methods
are described below:
METHANE tank not on reserve –
petrol tank not empty:
the engine is always started in methane
mode;
METHANE tank empty – petrol tank
not empty:
the engine is forced to start on petrol
and it will not switch to methane until
the methane tank has been filled. At the
same time, the reserve warning light
will turn on and the "REFUELLING
REQUIRED" message will be shown on
the instrument panel display;
METHANE tank not on reserve –
petrol tank empty:
the engine is always started in methane
mode.
17) 18) 19) 20) 21)
WARNING
116)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
other toxic gasses.
WARNING
14)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessive intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
15)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
16)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the
transmission is automatically placed in
neutral will be signalled by a buzzer.
17)
If the warning light
flashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates a
problem in the glow plug pre­heating
system. Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible. 18)
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, so you need to
apply much more force than usual to
the brake pedal and steering wheel. 19)
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair. 20)A quick burst on the accelerator before
stopping the engine serves no practical
purpose; it wastes fuel and is especially
damaging to turbocharged engines. 21)
In some cases, when the engine
switches off, the fan could activate for max.
120 seconds.

STARTING AND DRIVING

START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engineeach time the
vehicle is stationary and all the
conditions for automatic switch-off
have been met, and starts it again
when the driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,
the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
Versions with manual transmission
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and
the clutch pedal released.
Versions with Comfort-matic
transmission
With car at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the
gear lever is in a position other thanR.In the event of stops uphill, engine
switching off is disabled to make the
"Hill Holder" function available (works
only with the engine running).
The warning light on the instrument
panel switches on to signal that the
engine has stopped.
Restarting the engine
Versions with manual transmission
Depress the clutch pedal to restart
the engine.
Versions with Comfort-matic
transmission
Releasing the brake pedal the engine
restarts automatically; the icon
switches off on the display.
If the engine is restarted with the “Hill
Holder” function off, move the lever
towards (+), (-)orRand the engine
restarts.
MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION OF
THE SYSTEM
To activate/deactivate the system
manually, press the
button on the
dashboard control panel.
25)
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
instrument panel warning light
flashing and, where provided, by a
message in the display.
119) 120)
WARNING
25)If the vehicle is equipped with manual
climate control, if you want to favour
climate comfort, the Start&Stop system
can be deactivated for continuous climate
control system operation.
WARNING
119)The vehicle should always be
evacuated after the key has been removed
or turned to the STOP position. When
refuelling, make sure that the car is
switched off with the key in the STOP
position.
120)If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. The
replacement battery should be of the same
type (L6 105Ah/850A) and should have
the same characteristics.
