Low level ventilation is provided via
cut-out in the furniture. High level
ventilation is provided by skylights
located in the roof of your vehicle.
On pop top models, the high-level
ventilation is provided by a ventilation
slots in the pop-top material.
All ventilation complies with
European Standards and vents
should not be obstructed in any way
as this could lead to insucient fresh
air in the vehicle. If this occurs, the
confined atmosphere can become
deficient in oxygen, which can lead
to a build-up of the highly dangerous
gas carbon monoxide (Co).
The use of gas cooking appliances
results in the production of
heat, moisture and products of
combustion in the space in which
they are installed. Ensure the room
has sucient ventilation when the
appliance is un use. During prolonged
use, additional ventilation may be
needed by opening a window.
There is no danger, providing all
ventilation is not blocked in any way
and all meshes are regularly cleaned
using a vacuum cleaner.
Condensation
Condensation occurs when warm
moist air meets a cold surface.
The risk of condensation therefore
depends upon how moist the air is
and how cold the internal surfaces
of the vehicle are. Condensation
is normally more noticeable
during the winter months as the
campervan is cold and because
skylights, windows and doors are
opened less meaning that the
moist internal air cannot escape.
To try to minimise the risk of
condensation occurring, it is
important to try to maintain some
level of ventilation. Your vehicle
complies with EN721, which states
the minimum requirements for
high and low level ventilation. It is
very important that these are not
blocked or reduced in any way.
Heating
If possible, use the electric element
of the space heater when washing,
cooking or drying damp clothes,
particularly if the windows show
signs of misting up. Try to make
sure all areas are at least partially
heated; condensation most often
occurs in unheated areas. To
prevent condensation, the heat
has to keep the room surfaces
reasonably warm.
It can take a long time for a cold
campervan to warm up, so it is
better to have a small amount
of heat for a long period, rather
than a lot of heat for a short time.
A campervan that has been left
unoccupied for a long period
of time can become very cold.
Whenever possible, it is best to put
the heating on at a low level before
setting o on a journey in the
winter to pre heat the vehicle.
Even in a well-insulated campervan
with correct ventilation it is
likely during cold weather, if the
temperature is less than 10°C, that
condensation will occur. Ideally
the temperature should be kept
at about 20°C although this is not
always possible.
Elevating roof models
Please ensure that when the
vehicle is used for habitation
purposes, especially when using
a gas cooking appliance, that the
pop-top roof is elevated and the
ventilation slot is unzipped to
ensure sucient airflow.
VENTILATION CENTRAL LOCKING
33 TOGETHER WE’RE GOING PLACES For more information visit www.auto-trail.co.uk 34
Your vehicle is fitted with a central locking system. The central
locking can be activated by either the remote key fob, the
locking switches on the dashboard or manually by the key.
Remote key fob
The Fiat key has three buttons that lock and unlock the various
entrance doors on the vehicle.
Pressing button A will unlock both the cab doors and the rear
habitation door.
Pressing button B will unlock the base vehicle cab doors only.
Please note that the habitation door lock will give an audible
click but will not unlock.
Pressing button C will unlock the rear habitation door only.
Please note that the base vehicle cab doors will give an audible
click but will not unlock.
Notes on central locking
If the habitation door is unlocked via the key fob, it is necessary
to open either the driver's door or the passenger door in the
cab to stop the habitation door re-locking after approximately
40 seconds. Likewise, if the cab doors are unlocked via the
key fob, one of these doors will also need to be opened to stop
them re-locking after approximately 40 seconds.
Locking or unlocking the driver's door will not unlock the
habitation door. This must be locked or unlocked independently
using either the key or key fob.
Locking or unlocking the habitation door with the key will only
lock or unlock the habitation door. The cab doors must be
unlocked independently with either the key or key fob.
Driver door switches
When inside the vehicle, the entrance doors can be locked or
unlocked via the switch on the Fiat dashboard. Pressing button
A will lock all entrance doors and the LED will illuminate. Press
it again to unlock all entrance doors.
