In this video we will see what are the driving assistance systems of the Fiat Ducato, and how they work. For example, the ABS, which prevents wheel lock during braking, or the ESC, that is the electronic stability control, which checks if the vehicle's position in a curve corresponds to the driver's actions.

The Rollover mitigation eliminates excessive vehicle roll in curves and the Crosswind assist intervenes in the presence of strong crosswinds. We also have the ASR which is the electronic traction control, which checks the rotation of each driving wheel.

Also the Traction Plus is a traction control system, which increases traction on surfaces with poor grip. We also have the Hill Holder which facilitates uphill starts by holding the brakes for a short time; the Hill descent Control maintains the set speed downhill, acting on the engine brake and vehicle brakes.

Of course, there are also airbags, of which the passenger one can be deactivated if necessary. There is also the adaptive Cruise Control, which adapts to traffic conditions while maintaining a set cruising speed and a safety distance that we can choose.

The vertical signage recognition system highlights the signs, while the horizontal signage is monitored by the lane keeping assistant, which alerts us when we deviate from the centerline. The active braking assistant detects obstacles or pedestrians, warning us promptly and activating a powerful emergency brake if necessary.

There are also rain and light sensors, which automatically activate windshield wipers and low beams, as well as the high beam assistant or the TPMS.
