2015 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER display

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
ignition key is removed.
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 to
MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends a recognition
code to the Powertrain Control
Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.
The acknowledgement 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
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code has not
been recognised correctly the
warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by
the related message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and
messages”).

IMPORTANT The engine stop
function is guaranteed by the Fiat
CODE, which is automatically
activated when the ignition key is
extracted from the ignition switch.
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
warning (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.
Disengagement
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);
❒unlocking of the doors.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not
switch off when the central opening
is activated using the metal insert
in the key.
Break-in attempt
indication
Any break-in attempt is indicated
by the turning on of warning light
on the instrument panel
together with the message on the
display (where provided, see
paragraph “Warning lights and
messages” in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” section).
Disabling
To permanently disable the alarm
(e.g. during a long period of
inactivity), simply lock the vehicle by
turning the metal insert of the key
with remote control in the lock.
IMPORTANT If the batteries of the
key with the remote control run
out or the system fails, the alarm
can be switched off by placing the
key in the ignition switch and
turning it to MAR-ON.

❒compressor activation (for cooling/
dehumidifying the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed
manually. In other words, you may
select one or more functions and
change the parameters as required.
Automatic control of the manually
changed functions will be
suspended: the system will override
your settings only for safety-related
reasons (e.g. risk of misting).
Manual selections will always take
priority over automatic settings and
will be stored until the user
switches the system back to
automatic operation by pressing
the AUTO button again except for
the cases in which the system
will intervene for particular,
safety-related reasons.
You can adjust one function
manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.The temperature of the air sent is
always controlled automatically,
depending on the temperature set
in the display (except when the
system is off or in certain conditions
when the compressor is switched
off).
The system allows the following
parameters and functions to be set
or altered manually: air
temperature, fan speed (continuous
variation); air distribution in seven
positions; compressor enablement;
fast defrosting/demisting function;
air recirculation; switching off the
system;

USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in
different ways, but it is advisable to
start by pressing the AUTO button
and then turning the knob to set
the temperature required on the
display. The system will start
running automatically in this way
and the set temperature will be
reached as quickly as possible. The
system will adjust the temperature,
the quantity and the distribution
of the air sent into the passenger
compartment and, by managing
the recirculation function, the
activation of the compressor.
During fully automatic operation,
the only manual intervention
required is the possible activation of
the following functions:
❒air recirculation, to keep the
function always either on or off;
❒
to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, rear window and
external rear view mirrors.
During fully automatic system
operation, you can change the set
temperature, air distribution and fan
speed at any time by using the
relevant buttons or knobs: the
system will automatically change its
settings to adjust to the new
requirements. During fully automatic
operation (FULL AUTO), the word
FULL will disappear if the air
distribution and/or flow rate and/or
engagement of the compressor
and/or recirculation settings are
changed. In this way, the functions
will switch from automatic to
manual control until the AUTO
button is pressed again. With one
or more functions turned on
manually, the adjustment of the
intake air temperature continues to
be managed automatically, except
with the compressor switched off: if
this is the case, the temperature
of the air sent into the passenger
compartment cannot be lower than
that of the outside air.CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or
lower the requested temperature in
the passenger compartment.
The set temperature is shown on
the display.
Turn the knob either fully to the right
or fully to the left to the extreme HI
or LO position to turn the maximum
heating or maximum cooling
functions on:
❒HI function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature
knob clockwise beyond the
maximum value (32°C).
This function may be used to heat
up the passenger compartment
by exploiting the system's potential
to the full. In this event, the system
stops controlling the temperature
automatically and sets the air
mixing to maximum heating. The air
speed and distribution are fixed.
37

Fan speed adjustment
buttons (H)
Press the H button to increase or to
decrease the fan speed and
therefore the amount of air sent into
the passenger compartment,
though the required temperature
remains set.
The fan speed is shown by the lit
bars on the display:
❒Maximum fan speed = all the bars lit
up;
❒Minimum fan speed = one bar lit up.
The fan can only be excluded if
the climate control system
compressor has been switched off
by pressing the F button.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic
control of the fan speed after a
manual adjustment, press the
AUTO button.IMPORTANT At high vehicle
speeds, the dynamic effect may
increase the flow of air into the
passenger compartment which in
this case will not directly
correspond to the fan speed bar
display.
AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
Press AUTO to make the system
automatically adjust the quantity
and distribution of the air
introduced into the passenger
compartment. All previous manual
settings will be cancelled.
The message FULL AUTO will
appear on the front display in this
condition.
By manually adjusting at least one
of the functions automatically
managed by the system (air
recirculation, air distribution, fan
speed or switching off the
compressor), the word FULL will
disappear from the display,
indicating that the system is no
longer automatically controlling all
the functions (the temperature
will still be controlled automatically).IMPORTANT Should the system
(after manual settings) no longer be
able to guarantee the required
temperature set in the passenger
compartment, the set temperature
value will start flashing to indicate
the difficulties the system is
experiencing and then the word
AUTO will disappear.
To restore system automatic control
at any time, after one or more
manual adjustments, press the
AUTO button.
Air recirculation
on/off button (G)
The air recirculation is managed
according to the following operating
logic:
❒override on (inside air recirculation
always on), indicated by the LED
on button G and the
symbol on
the display;
❒override off (air recirculation
constantly off with air intake from the
outside), signalled by the LED in
the button switching off and by the
symbol in the display
disappearing.
39

These operating conditions are
obtained by pressing air
recirculation button G in sequence.
IMPORTANT The engagement of
the air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it
on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility
of the windows misting inside,
especially if the climate control
compressor is off.
To prevent the windows from
misting up, the recirculation is
forced off (i.e. air is drawn in from
the outside) when the outside
temperature is cold.
It is advisable not to use the air
recirculation function when the
outside temperature is low to
prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.Climate control
compressor
enablement/off button
(F)
Press button
to switch the
climate control compressor off (if
on). The icon on the display will go
out.
Press the button when the LED is
off to restore automatic system
control of compressor activation.
The icon will light up on the display.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is
switched off to prevent windows
from misting up. Although the
system is capable of maintaining
the required temperature, the word
FULL will disappear from the
display. If, on the other hand, it is
no longer capable of maintaining
the temperature, the letters flash
and the word AUTO goes out.
IMPORTANT With the compressor
off, it is not possible to introduce air
cooler than ambient temperature
into the passenger compartment.
Furthermore, in certain conditions,
the windows could mist up rapidly
because the air is not dehumidified.The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor
control, press thebutton again
(in this case, the system will only
work as a heater) or press the
AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off,
if the outside temperature is higher
than the one set, the system is
not capable of satisfying this
request. This is signalled by the
target temperature flashing, after
which the word AUTO goes out.
With the climate control
compressor off, the fan speed can
be set to zero manually (no bar
shown).
With the compressor enabled and
the engine started, the fan speed
may be reduced to the minimum
setting (only one bar shown).
