2015 FIAT DUCATO Switch

.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety switch
that, in the event of a crash, comes
into operation by cutting off the fuel
supply and turning off the engine as a
consequence.
When the inertia switch cuts in, it cuts
off the fuel supply and also activates
the hazard warning lights, side lights
and courtesy lights while releasing
all the doors and displaying the relevant
message; they are deactivated by
pressing button A. On some versions,
there is also a safety relay that activates
in the event of impact to cut off the
electrical supply. In this way, fuel is
prevented from escaping if the pipes
are broken and the formation of sparks
or electrical discharges following
damage to the vehicle electrical
components is avoided.
29) 30)
IMPORTANT After an accident,
remember to remove the key from the
ignition device to prevent the battery
from running down. If no fuel leaks
or damage to vehicle's electrical
devices (e.g. headlights) are detected
after the impact and the vehicle is
able to set off again, reactivate the
automatic fuel cut-off switch.
Restoring the fuel cut-
off switch
Press button A fig. 81 to reactivate the
fuel cut off switch.

Automatic adjustment
When moving, the system automatically
shows that the vehicle is in 'ride setting
0' and keeps it constant.
During the adjustment the LED located
on the button (A or B fig. 103)
corresponding to the direction of travel,
flashes.
Manual adjustment
4)
With the vehicle stationary and the
engine on or off, the desired height level
can be set.
Manual adjustment is only available for
a limited number of times with the
engine switched off.Pressing button A, for less than 1
second, selects the next level
up. Keeping button A pressed, for more
than 1 second, selects the maximum
level directly: “ride +3”.
Pressing button B, for less than 1
second, selects the next level down.
Keeping button B pressed, for more
than 1 second, selects the minimum
level directly: “ride -3”.
During the adjustment the LED located
on the button (A or B) corresponding
to the direction of travel, flashes.
If, after selecting a button, the LED
remains lit up (for about 5 seconds)
rather than flashing, this means that the
adjustment is temporarily unavailable.
Possible causes may be as follows:
❒insufficient air reserve: the function is
restored by starting the engine;
❒the system has reached a threshold
working temperature: wait a few
minutes to let it cool down before
operating the buttons again.The level selected with the vehicle
stationary is maintained up to a speed
of about 20 km/h; when this speed
is exceeded, the system will
automatically restore the normal level:
“ride 0”.
IMPORTANT
4) Before manually adjusting with
doors open, make sure there is
enough space around the vehicle
for this kind of operation.

cases:
❒after each door lock command
generated by the button D fig. 108 or
by button
in 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).

an unlocking request from the remote
control/door catch.DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation
of:
❒interior handles
locking/unlocking button A fig. 107
thereby preventing the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger
compartment if there has been
a break-in attempt (e.g. a window has
been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers
the best possible protection against
break-in attempts. We recommend
engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.

57) If the space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is used, the ABS keeps
operating. Always remember
that the space-saver wheel, being
smaller than the original wheel,
provides less grip.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
wheelThe ESC system also includes the
following subsystems:
❒Hill Holder
❒ASR
❒HBA
❒ERM
❒HDC
58) 59) 60)
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of
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.
