Instrument Panel - Fiat DUCATO Owner's Handbook Manual

Exceeding the
programmed speed
By fully depressing the accelerator
pedal, the programmed speed can be
exceeded even with the device active.
IMPORTANT A slight hardening of
the accelerator pedal is perceived when
the end of travel is reached. This is to
intentionally signal to the driver that the
speed control system is being
deactivated.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal, it is normal to
perceive increased resistance on the
pedal itself.
In this case the device is deactivated
temporarily and the set speed flashes
on the display.
Reducing the speed below the
programmed value reactivates the
device automatically.
IMPORTANT With the device
deactivated, the car maximum speed is
reached before the end of travel with
the load hardening.
Flashing of programmed
speed
The programmed speed flashes in the
following cases:
❒ when the accelerator pedal has been
fully depressed and the car speed
has exceeded programmed speed;
❒ when the device cannot reduce the
speed of the car due to the gradient
of the road;
❒ in the event of sharp acceleration.
Deactivating the device
To deactivate the device, turn ring nut A
to O.
The deactivation of the device is
indicated by the warning light
switching off on the instrument panel
and, on some versions, by a message
and symbol on the display.
Automatic deactivation
of device
The device deactivates automatically in
the event of fault in the system.
WARNING
27) When travelling with the device
active, never move the gear lever
to neutral.
28) If the device is faulty, turn ring
nut A to O, check the condition
of the fuse and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
