2018 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER ECU

After the sliding and removal
operations, the seat should be refitted
and secured to the rails on the floor
before driving, as follows:
fit the base on the rails;
push the latch lever downwards fig.
42 with sufficient force, until the system
locks.IMPORTANT The locking system is only
secured when the safety clip under
the lever locks it horizontally. If this does
not happen, check that the seat is in
the exact locking position in relation to
the rail (moving the seat backwards
or forwards a few millimetres until it is
properly attached). Once the
quick-release base is locked in position,
it will be as in the first stage, in other
words with the retaining lever perfectly
parallel to the floor guaranteeing that
the seat is securely fastened in the
selected position.
The seat can be turned 180º toward
the seat on the opposite side. To turn it,
see the "Seat with revolving base"
paragraph.
4-SEATER BENCH SEAT

What it means What to do
LOW DIESEL EMISSIONS ADDITIVE (UREA) LEVEL
WARNING
The first low level warning is given at around 1,200
km range and is determined according to the current
consumption rate. The UREA low level warning light
and message for topping up are shown on the
instrument panel. The UREA low level warning light
remains lit until the UREA tank is topped up with at
least 3 litres of UREA.
If topping up is not executed, an additional warning
appears at the following km left until the UREA tank is
empty: 400 km, 320 km, 240 km.
When 200 km are remaining before the UREA tank
is empty, a continuous message appears on the
instrument panel accompanied by a buzzer sound.
When the range is 0 km, the display (for versions/
markets where provided) will show a dedicated
message. In this case, the vehicle speed is limited to
50 km/h and, after turning it off, it is not possible to
restart the vehicle.
It is possible to restart the engine again as soon as
the UREA is topped up (the minimum amount to be
added is 3 litres).
49)
Top up the UREA tank as soon as possible with at
least 3 litres of UREA. If topping up is done with
autonomy tank UREA to zero, you must wait 2 minutes
before starting the vehicle.
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Diesel versions)
The symbol switches on constantly when driving
(along with a message in the display), to indicate the
presence of water in the diesel filter.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

CARRYING
CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other
children! This prescription is
compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50
metres and up to 12 years must be
protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear
seats. Statistics on accidents indicate
that the rear seats offer greater safety
for children. Compared with adults,
a child's head is proportionally larger
and heavier than the rest of the body,
while muscles and bone structure
are not fully developed. Therefore,
correct restraint systems other than
adult seat belts are necessary, to
reduce as much as possible the risk of
injuries in the event of an accident,
braking or sudden manoeuvre. Children
must be seated safely and comfortably.
Depending on the characteristics of
the child restraint systems used, you
are advised to keep children in rearward
facing child restraint systems for as
long as possible (at least until 3-4 years
old), since this is the most protected
position in the event of an impact.The choice of the most suitable child
restraint system depends on the weight
and size of the child. There are various
types of child restraint systems that can
be secured to the vehicle by means of
the seat belts or with the ISOFIX
anchorages. It is recommended to
always choose the restraint system
most suitable for the child; for this
reason always refer to the Owner
Handbook provided with the child
restraint system, to be sure that it is of
the right type for the children it is
intended for. In Europe the
characteristics of child restraint systems
are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44,
dividing them into five weight groups:
Group Weight range
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
As you can see, the groups overlap
partly and, in fact, there are devices on
sale that cover more than one weight
group.All restraint devices must bear the
type-approval data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and wear the seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori MOPAR includes child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are
recommended, having been specifically
designed for Fiat cars.

91)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided
by the Manufacturer.
92)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. This
way, in the case of sudden braking or
an accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
93)Always make sure that the diagonal
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear
the seat belt correctly.
94)The figures are only examples for fitting
purposes. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which must
be included.
95)Car seats for weight groups 0 and 1
feature an anchor in front of the vehicle
safety belts as well as its own belts to
restrain the child. Due to their weight, they
may be dangerous if incorrectly mounted
(e.g. if fastened to the vehicle seat belts
placing a cushion in between). Follow the
assembly instructions carefully.SETUP FOR
“UNIVERSAL
ISOFIX” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
The vehicle is set up for fitting an Isofix
child restraint system.
The ISOFIX system lets you install the
ISOFIX child restraining system quickly,
simply and safely, without using the
car seat belts, but by connecting the
child restrain system directly to the car
seat with three anchors in the vehicle.
Traditional child restraint systems can
be fitted alongside ISOFIX child restraint
systems on different seats in the same
vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchorages A fig. 115 located where
the rear seat cushion meets the
backrest, then fix the upper strap
(available together with the restraint
system) to the dedicated anchorage B
fig. 116 located at the bottom behind
the backrest.
As an example fig. 118 shows an
ISOFIX Universal carseat for weight
group 1.
NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system is used, only ECE R44
"ISOFIX Universal” (R44/03 or further
upgrades), type-approved child
restraint systems can be used fig. 117.

PROCEDURE FOR
VERSIONS WITH
COMFORT MATIC
TRANSMISSION
The system allows the engine to be
started both with a gear engaged and
with the transmission in neutral (N
fig. 128); however, the brake pedal
must be pressed first with a gear
engaged.
It is advisable to place the gear lever in
neutral (Nfig. 128) before starting the
engine.

The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed.
123)
26)
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the
tow hook fitted without towing a trailer,
it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow
hook could be detected as an obstacle
by the central sensors.
When using special washing equipment
such as high pressure jets or steam
cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly
keeping the jet more than 10 cm away.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not apply stickers to the sensors.
When parking, take the utmost
care over obstacles that may be above
or under the sensor.
Objects close to the vehicle, in
certain circumstances are not detected
and could therefore cause damage to
the vehicle or be damaged.
The following conditions may influence
the performance of the parking
assistance system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the
sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint.
The sensor may detect a non-
existent obstacle (echo noise) due to
mechanical noises, for example when
washing the vehicle, in case of rain,
strong wind, hail.
The warnings sent by the sensor
can also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brakes of trucks or pneumatic drills)
near the car.
The performance of the parking
assistance system may also be affected
by the position of the sensors. For
example by a change in the ride setting
(caused by the wear of the shock
absorbers, suspension), changing the
tyres, overloading the vehicle and
carrying out specific tuning operations
that require the vehicle to be lowered.
Detection of obstacles in the upper
part of the vehicle (particularly in the
case of vans or chassis cabs) may not
be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could strike the
lower part of the vehicle.
WARNING
123)The driver is always responsible for
parking and other dangerous manoeuvres.
While carrying out these manoeuvres,
always make sure that no people
(especially children) or animals are in the
area concerned. The parking sensors
are used to assist the driver, who must
never allow his attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
WARNING
26)For correct operation of the system,
sensors must always be clean from mud,
dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of vehicle
shampoo if necessary.

REAR CAMERA
(PARKVIEW® REAR
BACK UP CAMERA)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
124)
27)
The vehicle may be equipped with a
ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera,
which allows the driver to see the
surrounding area behind the vehicle on
the display when reverse is engaged
or the tailgate is opened fig. 135.
SYMBOLS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
DISPLAY
When displayed, the static line grid
shows the width of the vehicle.
The grid shows separate areas,
allowing you to see the distance from
the rear of the vehicle.
The table below shows the
approximate distances for each area:
Area
(reference
fig. 135)Distance from the
rear of the vehicle
Red (A) 0–30 cm
Yellow (B) 30–100 cm
Green (C) 1 m or more
IMPORTANT NOTES
IMPORTANT In some circumstances,
such as with ice, snow or mud on
the surface of the camera, its sensitivity
may be reduced.
IMPORTANT If the rear doors need to
be re-painted after the repairs, make
sure the paint does not get in contact
with the plastic support of the camera.IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the operating range of
the camera.
WARNING
124)The responsibility for parking and
other manoeuvres is always and in any
case charged to the driver. While carrying
out these manoeuvres, always make
sure that no people (especially children) or
animals are in the area concerned. The
camera is an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow his/her attention to
lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds. Always keep a slow speed, so
as to promptly brake in the case of
obstacles.
WARNING
27)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free
from any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful
not to scratch or damage the camera
while cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or
hard cloths. The camera must be washed
using clean water, with the addition of
car shampoo if necessary. In washing
stations which use steam or high-pressure
jets, clean the camera quickly, keeping
the nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Also, do not apply stickers to
the camera.

STARTING AND DRIVING

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
IN BRIEF
Stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only usepetrol with an octane number
(RON) no lower than 95 (EN228
specification).
DIESEL ENGINES
Refuel the vehicle exclusively with diesel
for motor vehicles in compliance with
European specification EN590.
OPERATION AT LOW
TEMPERATURES
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel. In this case,
it is also advisable to keep the tank
over 50% full.
35)
TANK CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
To refuel, open the flap A fig. 137
located on the left side of the vehicle
and then unscrew the cap B fig. 137 by
turning it anticlockwise.
For versions / markets where provided,
insert the ignition key in the lock of
the cap. Turn the key counter-clockwise
and remove the cap by gripping the
key. Do not remove the key from the
cap during refuelling. While refuelling,
the cap can be hung on the flap A (fig.
137).The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.
In case of loss or damage to the fuel
tank cap, make sure that the
replacement cap is for the appropriate
vehicle.
Tighten the cap of the fuel tank filler
until you hear a "click". This sound
shows that the cap of the fuel tank filler
is properly tightened.
For versions / markets where provided,
turn the key clockwise until it stops. It
is not necessary to apply an additional
load on the key to complete the
tightening of the cap. Only in the case
where the cap has been tightened
properly, it will be possible to remove
the ignition key from the cap.
After each refuelling, make sure the fuel
filler cap is securely tightened.
IMPORTANT
When the gun distributor fuel "snaps" or
interrupts the supply, the tank is nearly full
and you can run two additional top-ups
after shooting automatic.
