How to set Ducato time and date

[seascape72]

I recently had to change the battery of my 2018 Fiat Ducato- based motorhome. Since power was disconnected the clock reset and is now flashing the wrong time and date in the dash display. According to the owner's manual, to set the clock I need to press the MODE button to access the setup menu and scroll down to Set Time and Set Date. My problem is that when I push the MODE button I do not get the menu items listed in the manual. The only options I see are Speed Beep, Buzzer Volume, Service, Passenger Bag, and Exit Menu. Can anyone help me sort this?

Do a quick YouTube search, loads of info there.

Ignition has to be on to access the menu.

A motorhomer concerned about the time and date?

Should get out and chill more.

Many functions such as time and date are only accessible if you are not moving.

Thanks for all of your responses. I am trying to do it with the ignition on but without the engine running. I have searched YouTube and found a video explaining explicitly how to set the clock, however the video shows the setup menu as it appears in the owner's manual. As I already explained, the menu I see is different and I don't know why.

Download the lasted manual from Fiat and see if it has diffentl advice.

Maybe you need to hold the mode button a little bit longer to access that function. I know my 2007 is a pain in that respect and I have to relearn how to do it every time. I haven't done it for a while so I can't actually remember exactly which buttons do what, but I recognise the problem.

I just checked on mine and I had to scroll down to access each different item. They're not all visible at once.

I downloaded a more recent owner's manual and it refers to a reduced menu which is available when the vehicle is moving. It seems that I can only access this reduced menu even though the vehicle is stationary and the engine is not running (but the ignition is on). Any ideas what might be fooling the computer to believe I am moving?

A couple of pics of your setup maybe useful. There are a few options.

I have the same problem, did you discover an answer?
