2016 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER air condition

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.
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 the
button 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).

control system will automatically switch
on all the functions required for fast
windscreen and side window
demisting/defrosting:
❒switches on climate control
compressor when climatic conditions
are suitable;
❒switches air recirculation off;
❒maximum air temperature HI in both
areas;
❒sets the fan speed according to the
engine coolant temperature to limit
the flow of air that is not sufficiently
warm to demist the windows;
❒directs air flow to windscreen and
front side windows vents;
❒heated rear window on.
IMPORTANT The rapid demisting/
defrosting function for the windows
remains on for about 3 minutes from
when the engine coolant reaches the
appropriate temperature for a rapid
demisting of the windows.When this function is active, the LED on
the corresponding button and the one
on the heated rear window button
switch on. The message FULL AUTO
goes off on the display.
You can only adjust the fan speed and
switch off the heated rear window
manually when this function is active.

conditions, simply press button B, air
recirculation button G, compressor
button F or AUTO button A.
NoteTo guarantee rapid demisting/
defrosting, if an additional heater/air
conditioner is present (under the front
or rear seat on Panorama and Combi
versions), if activated, deactivate it
using button F (LED off) located
in control panel F fig. 55.Switching the system
OFF (E)
Press button E to switch the climate
control system off. The display will go
out.
The following climate control conditions
will be present when the system is off:
❒display off;
❒temperature setting not displayed;
❒air recirculation on, thereby insulating
the passenger compartment from the

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The additional heater (during winter)
heats, maintains the temperature of and
circulates engine coolant for a set time
period in order to ensure optimum
engine and passenger compartment
conditions at engine start-up.
The heater can operate automatically
when programmed with a digital timer
or manually by pressing the 'immediate
heating' button on the timer.
After heater activation, whether
programmed or manually, the electronic
control unit operates the coolant pump
and turns on the burner in accordance
with pre-set, controlled procedures.
The circulation pump output is also
controlled by the electronic control unit
in order to minimise the initial heating
time.
When the system operates, the control
unit turns on the passenger
compartment heater unit fan at the
second speed.The thermal power of the boiler is
regulated automatically by the
electronic control unit depending on the
temperature of the engine coolant.
IMPORTANT The heater is equipped
with a thermal limiter that cuts off
combustion in the case of overheating
due to insufficient coolant/coolant
leaks. In this case, after repairing the
fault in the cooling system and/or
topping up the fluid, press the program
selection button before turning the
heater back on.
The heater can turn off spontaneously
due to misfiring after start-up or
because the flame goes out during
operation. In this case, carry out the
turning off procedure and try to turn the
heater back on. If it still does not work,
consult a Fiat Dealership.Activation of the heating
system
When an automatic climate control
system is present, the control unit sets
the air temperature and distribution
when the heater is turned on from the
park position. When a manual
heater/climate control is present, to
obtain maximum heater efficiency,
check that the passenger compartment
heating/ventilation temperature
adjustment knob is in the 'hot air'
position.
To prioritise passenger compartment
pre-heating, set the air distribution knob
to the
position.
To prioritise windscreen demisting, set
the air distribution knob to
position.
To obtain both functions, set the air
distribution knob to
position.

ADDITIONAL REAR
CLIMATE CONTROL
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions
are equipped with a main heating/air
conditioning system plus an additional
system (available on request) with
controls in the roof lining above the
second row of seats fig. 55. Button F
fig. 56 in the control panel must be
enabled for operation; the air
conditioning only works if the main air
conditioner is on.
❒When the knob D is placed in the
fully cold position (control in blue
sector) cold air comes out the vents
in the ceiling.
❒Turn the knob D to the maximum
heating position (knob at red
sector);warm air will emerge (with the
engine warmed up), from the rear
footwell outlets (located under the
seats in the 2nd and 3rd row for
Panorama versions and the grille on
the left wheel arch side for Combi
versions).❒If the selector knob D is placed in the
intermediate positions, the air will be
distributed between the vents in
the ceiling and the rear footwell
vents, varying the temperature.
IMPORTANT If the compressor on the
main air conditioner control is turned on
(operation of button E), even if the
additional air conditioner fan is in
position 0, the 1st speed will
automatically be activated to prevent
ice formation, with possible damage to
the component.
WARNING
21) The heater burns fuel in the
same way as the engine, though
to a lesser extent. To prevent
poisoning and asphyxiation, the
additional heater must never
be turned on, not even for short
periods, in closed environments
such as a garage or workshops
without extraction fans for the
exhaust gases.22) The heater burns fuel in the

SELF-LEVELLING AIR
SUSPENSION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The system only acts on the rear
wheels.
The system maintains the rear ride
setting for the vehicle constant in any
loading condition, while ensuring a
greater driving comfort. In addition, the
system allows the height of the vehicle
to be adjusted with the vehicle
stationary, by selecting from 7 different
positions to facilitate access to the
rear compartment.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
There are 7 pre-defined levels for the
free height from the ground: from “ride
-3” to “ride 0” till “ride +3”.
The multifunction display, located in the
middle of the instrument panel, can
show the ride position.
69

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.
The system also has a connector that
can be interfaced with appropriate
equipment, which makes it possible to
read the error codes stored in the
control unit together with a series of
specific parameters for engine
operation and diagnosis. This check
can also be carried out by traffic control
authorities.

Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be regenerated
(cleaned) at regular intervals by burning
carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is
controlled automatically by the
Powertrain Control Module according
to the filter conditions and vehicle
usage conditions.
During regeneration, the following may
occur: a limited increase in the engine
speed, activation of the fan, a limited
increase in fumes and high
temperatures at the exhaust.These are not faults; they do not impair
vehicle performance or damage the
environment. If the dedicated message
is displayed, refer to paragraph
"Warning lights and messages".
WARNING
97) The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures during
normal operation. Do not park
the vehicle on flammable material
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles
etc.): fire hazard.
