ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visita Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle’s electricsystem can support the required load.�

CODE card

Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the vehicle. You should always keep the electronic code written onthe CODE card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safe-ty features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…

…information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your vehicle, and its mainte-nance. Pay particular attention to the symbols " (personal safety) # (environmental protection) (vehiclewell-being).

THE FIAT CODESYSTEM

To further protect your vehicle fromtheft, it has been fitted with an engineimmobiliser system (Fiat CODE)which is automatically activated whenthe ignition key is removed.

An electronic device, in fact, is fittedin each ignition key grip. The devicemodulates a signal when the engine isstarted through a special aerial builtinto the ignition switch. The modulatesignal, which changes each time theengine is started, is the password bymeans of which the control unitrecognises the key and enables tostart the engine.

Page 9: Ducato Manual

The CODE card fig. 4 is also sup-plied with the keys and it bears the fol-lowing:

A - the electronic code to be usedfor emergency starting (see “Emer-gency start-up” in the “In an emer-gency” section);

B - the mechanical key code to begiven to the Fiat Dealership whenordering duplicate keys.

Keep the CODE card in a safe place.

You should always have the elec-tronic code number written on theCODE card with you at all times incase you need to perform an emer-gency start-up.

OPERATION

Each time the ignition key is turnedto STOP, or PARK, the protectionsystem will automatically immobilisethe engine.When the key is turned to MAR to

start the engine:1) If the code is recognised the Y

fig. 5 warning light on the instrumentpanel will flash briefly: this means thatthe protection system has recognisedthe key code and disabled the engineimmobiliser. Turn the key to AVV, tostart.2) If the Y warning light stays on,

the code was not recognised. In thiscase, turn the key to STOP and thenback to MAR. If the engine remainsimmobilised, try with the other keysprovided.

DUPLICATE KEYS

When additional keys are required,go to your Fiat Dealership, taking allthe keys in your possession and theCODE card with you. The Fiat Deal-ership will store the old and new keys(up to eight) in the system. The FiatDealership may ask you to demon-strate that you own the vehicle.

The codes of any keys that are notavailable when the new storage pro-cedure is carried out will be deletedfrom the memory to prevent any lostor stolen keys being used to start theengine.

All the keys and the CODE cardmust be handed over to the new own-er when selling the vehicle.

DOOR LOCKREMOTE CONTROL

The radio-frequency remote controlis built into the ignition key.

The key fig. 6 includes the following:

– a metal insert A that can be en-closed in the key grip

– a button E for power-assistedopening of the metal insert

– a button C for remote door un-locking and electronic alarm deactiva-tion (where provided) at the sametime, and timed switching on of the in-ternal ceiling lights;

– a button D for remote door lock-ing and electronic alarm activation(where provided) at the same time,and switching off of the internal ceilinglights;

– led B indicating control sending toelectronic alarm system receiver.

If you are still unable to start the en-gine, perform the emergency start-upprocedure (see “In an emergency”)and call your Fiat Dealership.

When the vehicle is travelling and thekey is at MAR:

1) If the Y warning light comes onwhile the vehicle is moving, this meansthat the system is running a self-test(e.g. due to a voltage drop).

2) If the Y warning light flashes, thevehicle is not protected by the engineimmobiliser. Contact a Fiat Dealer-ship immediately and get them tostore the codes of all the keys in thememory.

IMPORTANT The electronic com-ponents inside the key may be dam-aged if the key is subjected to sharpknocks.

IMPORTANT Each key providedwith the vehicle has its own code, dif-ferent from all the others, which mustbe stored in the memory of the sys-tem control unit.

OPERATION

The electronic alarm fitted on the Fi-at Ducato is controlled by the receiv-er located on the front ceiling light andis switched on by means of the radio-frequency remote control.

Volumetric protection sensors C-fig. 8 are located in the ceiling light.

The alarm can only be switched onwhen the ignition key is removed fromSTOP or PARK position.

The electronic alarm control unit in-cludes also the alarm siren that can becut out.

To switch the electronic alarmon: press button D-fig. 6 on the re-mote control briefly. You will hear abeep and the direction indicators willflash for approximately three seconds(only in countries where this is al-lowed).

Led A-fig. 9, set on the right side ofthe steering column, will blink whenthe system is on.

To switch the electronic alarmoff: press the remote control buttonC-fig. 6. You will hear two beeps andthe direction indicators will flash twice(only in countries where this is al-lowed).

To cut out the volumetric sur-veillance: you can cut out the volu-metric protection function beforeswitching the electronic alarm on. Pro-ceed as follows: take the key in rapidsequence from STOP to MAR andthen back to STOP. Then remove thekey.

Led A will light up for approximate-ly two seconds to confirm that thefunction has been cut out.

The volumetric surveillance functionwill be restored (before switching theelectronic alarm on) after the key hasbeen turned to MAR for at least 30seconds.

To operate an electrical device pow-ered by the ignition key (e.g.: electricwindows), turn the key to MAR, op-erate the control and turn the keyback to STOP within 30 seconds. Inthis way the volumetric surveillancefunction will not be reactivated.

To cut out the siren: when switch-ing the electronic alarm on, keep con-trol button C pressed for over 4 sec-onds and then release it.

You will hear five beeps to confirmthat the siren is cut out and that thealarm is on.

SYSTEM SELF-TESTIf the beep is followed after one sec-

ond by another beep when the elec-tronic alarm is switched on, checkwhether the doors, the bonnet andthe load compartment are perfectlyclosed. Try to switch the alarm onagain. If the situation persists, contacta Fiat Dealership.

WHAT SETS THE ALARM OFF

The electronic alarm will be set off if:

1) a door, the bonnet or the loadcompartment is opened;

2) the battery is disconnected or theelectronic alarm power supply cablesare cut;

3) something moves in the passen-ger compartment (volumetric surveil-lance);

4) the key is turned to MAR.

When the alarm is triggered, a sirenwill sound for about 26 seconds (for amaximum of 3 cycles with 5 secondpauses, if the cause of the alarm per-sists) and the direction indicators willflash for about 5 minutes (only in thecountries where this is allowed).

Once the alarm situation has beenresolved, the alarm will return to itsnormal surveillance function.

PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM

The electronic alarm will have beenprogrammed by Fiat Dealership.Any subsequent programming shouldalso be carried out by a Fiat Deal-ership.

If additional remote control is re-quired for any reasons, go to a FiatDealership, taking all the keys youown and the CODE card with you.

IMPORTANT The electronicalarm operation is prepared accordingto the laws of the specific country.This operation is only to be carriedout by a Fiat Dealership to avoiddamaging the electronic memory stor-age system.

14 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Do not leave the key inserted in theswitch. Cover the keyhole with therubber cap to prevent dust and wa-ter getting in.

Emergency keys should be left in thecar coupled with the switch.

HOW TO KNOW IF THE ALARM HAS GONE OFF

After deactivating the system, led A-fig. 9 will indicate the theft attemptspecifying also the cause of the alarm:fixed light: remote control bat-

tery down1 blink: right-hand door2 blinks: left-hand door5 blinks: volumetric sensors

(indicate a movementinside the passenger’scompartment)

6 blinks: bonnet

To cut off the alarm before this,press the remote control button; ifthis is unsuccessful, turn the emer-gency key to OFF (see next paragraph“How to turn the alarm off”)

HOW TO TURN THE ALARM OFF

If the remote control batteries rundown, or the car alarm system isfaulty, the electronic alarm can be cutout by using one of the two emer-gency keys supplied set on the systemdeactivation control unit (that ishoused in the fuse box on the rightside of the dashboard).

To do this, open the fuse box, takeoff the switch rubber cap, insert thekey and turn it counterclockwise(OFF position); the system is now de-activated.

To turn the system back on, turn thekey clockwise (ON position).

7 blinks: load compartment

8 blinks: tampering with ignition switch

9 blinks: alarm wires cut10 blinks: at least three causes

of alarm.

The led goes off when turning thekey to MAR or after about 2 minutesblinking.

Since the electronic caralarm absorbs electricity,if you will not be using

your car for more than a month,switch the system off with the re-mote control and turn the emer-gency key to OFF.

SEAT BELTSUSING THE SEAT BELTS

The belt should be worn keeping thechest straight and rested against theseat back.To fasten the seat belts, take hold the

fastener tongue A-fig. 10 and insertit into the buckle B, until hearing thelocking click.

The seat belt reel mechanism en-sures that the belt automatically ad-justs to the wearer allowing him orher to move in complete freedom.

When the vehicle is parked on asteep slope the reel mechanism mayblock; this is normal. The reel mech-anism also prevents the webbing com-ing out when it is jerked or if the ve-hicle brakes sharply, is in a collision orwhen cornering at high speed.

WARNING

Page 19: Ducato Manual

Always adjust the height of the seatbelt to fit the person wearing it. Thiscould greatly reduce the risk of injuryin the case of collision.

The belt is adjusted properly whenthe webbing passes approximatelyhalfway between the edge of theshoulder and the neck.

5 different adjustments in height areprovided.

PRETENSIONERS

Ducato vehicles fitted with airbagsare also fitted with pretensioners toimprove protection.

These devices “feel” that a violentcollision is in progress via a sensor andpull back a few inches of webbing. Inthis way the pretensioners ensure thatthe belt is adhering perfectly to thebody before the belt begins to holdback the wearer.

When the pretensioner has beentriggered the retractor will lock. Theseat belt cannot be drawn back upeven when guiding it manually.

After you have made theadjustment, always make

sure that the loop is attached firm-ly in one of the preset positions. Todo this, with the button released,exert a further pressure to allowthe anchoring device to catch if re-lease did not take place at one ofthe preset positions.

WARNING

Page 20: Ducato Manual

19GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT The pretensionerwill give maximum protection whenthe seat belt adheres snugly to thewearer’s chest and hips.A small amount of smoke may be

produced when the pretensioners arefired. This smoke is harmless and doesnot indicate the principle of a fire.

The pretensioner does not requireany maintenance or lubrication. Anymodification of its original state inval-idates its efficiency. If, as the result ofexceptional natural occurrences(floods, sea storms, etc.) the device issoaked through with water and mud,it must be replaced.

Operations involvingbanging, vibrations orheating (exceeding 100°C

for a maximum of 6 hours) in thearea around the pretensionermay trigger or damage the de-vice. Vibrations from rough roadsurfaces or accidental joltingcaused by mounting pavements,etc. do not have any effect on thepretensioner. If, however, youneed any assistance, go to a FiatDealership.

The webbing must not betwisted. The upper section

must pass across the shoulder andchest diagonally. The lower sectionmust fit closely across the passen-ger’s hips and not the abdomen (fig.18). Do not use clips, fasteners, etc.to prevent the belt adhering to thepassenger’s body.

WARNINGUnder no circumstancesshould the components of

seat belts and pretensioners betampered with or removed. Any in-terventions should be carried out byqualified and authorised personnel.Always contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNINGGENERAL INSTRUCTIONSFOR THE USE OF THE SEATBELTS

The driver is responsible for re-specting and enforcing the local rulesand laws regarding the use of seatbelts.

Always fasten the seat belts beforestarting.

For maximum safety, keepthe back of your seat up-

right, lean back into it and makesure the seat belt fits closely acrossyour chest and hips. Always fastenseat belts, in front and rear seats!Travelling without seat belts in-creases the risk of severe and fatalinjury in the event of a crash.

WARNING

Page 22: Ducato Manual

21GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Seat belts must also be worn by ex-pectant mothers: the risk of injury inthe case of accident is much greater forthem and their unborn child too if theydo not have a seat belt on. Of coursethey must position the lower part ofthe belt very low down so that it pass-es under the abdomen (fig. 20).

If the belt has been sub-jected to heavy stress, for

example after an accident, it shouldbe changed completely togetherwith the anchors, anchor fasteningscrews and the pretensioners. Infact, even if the belt has no visibledefects, it could have lost its re-silience.

WARNINGNever travel with a childsitting on the passenger’s

lap with a single belt to protectthem both (fig. 19). Do not fastenother objects to the body.

22 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

HOW TO KEEP THE SEATBELTS IN PROPER WORKINGORDER AT ALL TIMES

1) When wearing the seat belts, al-ways ensure they are not twisted andare free to wind in and out.

2) Following a serious accident, re-place the belt being worn at that time,even if it does not seem damaged. Al-ways replace the seat belts if preten-sioners have been activated.

3) When cleaning the belts, washthem by hand with water and neutralsoap, rinse them and let them dry inthe shade. Do not use strong deter-gents, bleach, colouring or any otherchemical substance that could weakenthe fibres.

4) Do not allow the reel mechanismsto get wet: they are only guaranteedto work properly if they remain dry.

5) Replace the seat belt when show-ing significant wear or cut signs.

TRANSPORTINGCHILDRENIN SAFETY

For optimal protection in the eventof a crash, all passengers must be seat-ed and wearing adequate restraint sys-tems.

This is even more important for chil-dren.

According to 2003/20/EC Directive,this prescription is compulsory for allEuropean Community countries.

Compared with adults, their head isproportionally larger and heavier thanthe rest of the body, while the mus-cles and bone structure are not com-pletely developed. Therefore, correctrestraint systems are necessary, oth-er then adult seat belts.

The results of research on the bestchild restraint systems are containedin the European Standard ECE-R44.This Standard enforces the use of re-straint systems classified in five groups:

Group 0 - weight 0-10 kg

Group 0+ - weight 0-13 kg

Group 1 weight 9-18 kg

Group 2 weight 15-25 kg

Group 3 weight 22-36 kg

As it may be noted, the groups over-lap partly and in fact, in commerce itis possible to find devices that covermore than one weight group fig. 21.

All restraint devices must bear thecertification data, together with thecontrol brand, on a solidly fixed labelwhich must absolutely never be re-moved.

Page 24: Ducato Manual

23GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Over 1.50 m in height, from thepoint of view of restraint systems, chil-dren are considered as adults andwear the seat belts normally.

We recommend using LineaccessoriFiat child restraint systems for eachweight group. These systems werespecifically designed and tested for Fi-at vehicles.

With passenger’s air bagactive, never place child’s

seats with the cradle facing back-wards since the air bag activationcould cause to the child serious in-juries, even mortal, regardless of theseriousness of the crash that trig-gered it. You are advised to carrychildren always with proper re-straint systems on the rear seats, asthis is the most protected positionin the case of a crash.

WARNINGSERIOUS DANGER If it isabsolutely necessary to car-ry a child on the front pas-senger seat with the cradlechild’s seat facing back-

wards, the front passenger’s air bagmust be deactivated using the keyswitch. In this case it is absolutelynecessary to check the warninglight F (see paragraph “Passen-ger’s front air bag”) to make surethat deactivation has actually tak-en place.

The seat has the purpose of po-sitioning the child correctly with respectto the seat belt so that the diagonal sec-tion crosses the child’s chest (never thechild’s throat) and the horizontal sec-tion fits snugly on the child’s hips (andnot the child’s abdomen) fig. 24.

GROUP 3

For children from 22 kg up to 36 kgthe size of the child’s chest no longerrequires a support to space the child’sback from the seat back.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON CHILD’S SEAT USE

Ducato complies with the new EC Directive 2000/3/CE regulating child’s seat assembling on the different vehicle seats ac-cording to the table on next page:

Table key:

U = suitable for child restraint systems of the “Universal” category, according to European Standard ECE-R44 for the specified “Groups”

CAB

Page 28: Ducato Manual

27GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT For foreign markets(Italy excluded), the cabs of vehiclesfor carrying goods are suitable for fit-ting child restraint systems of the“Universal” category, according to Eu-ropean Standard ECE-R44 for the tab-ulated groups.

IMPORTANT For Italian marketonly (foreign countries excluded), thecabs of vehicle for carrying passengers(combi and panorama), are suitable forfitting child restraint systems of the“Universal” category, according to Eu-ropean Standard ECE-R44 for the tab-ulated groups.

Below is a summary of the rulesof safety to be followed for car-rying children:

1) The recommended position forinstalling child’s seat is on the rear seat,as it is the most protected in the caseof a crash;

2) In vehicles fitted with passengerairbag, never place child’s restraintsystems on the front seat.

3) If the passenger’s airbag is deac-tivated always check the warning lightF on the instrument panel to makesure that it has actually been deacti-vated.

4) Attain to the instructions for fas-tening the specific child restraint sys-tem which you are using. These in-structions must be provided by themanufacturer. Keep the child restraintsystem installation instructions withthe vehicle documents and with thisHandbook. Never use a child restraintsystem without installation instruc-tions.

5) Always check the seat belt is wellfastened by pulling the webbing.

6) Only one child is to be strappedto each retaining system.

7) Always check the seat belts donot fit around the child’s throat.

8) While travelling, do not let thechild sit incorrectly or release thebelts.

9) Passengers should never carrychildren on their laps. No-one, how-ever strong they are, can hold a childin the event of a crash.

10) Replace the child restraint sys-tem after an accident.

With passenger’s air bagactive, never place child’s

seats with the cradle facing back-wards since the air bag activationcould cause to the child serious in-juries, even mortal, regardless of theseriousness of the crash that trig-gered it. You are advised to carrychildren always with proper re-straint systems on the rear seats, asthis is the most protected positionin the case of a crash.

EOBD ENGINEFAILURE CONTROLSYSTEM

(petrol versions only) (amber)In normal conditions, the warning

light will come on when the ignitionkey is turned to MAR and should goout as soon as the engine is started.The initial lighting up shows that thewarning light is working properly.

If the warning light either stays on orcomes on while travelling:

1. Fixed light - warning of a fuelfeed/ignition system failure which mayincrease emissions in exhaust or causepossible drops in performance, poorhandling and high consumption.

In such conditions, you can contin-ue driving but you should not tax theengine and you should moderate thespeed. Prolonged use with the warn-ing light on can cause damage. Contacta Fiat Dealershipas soon as possi-ble.

The warning light will go out whenthe failure disappears. In any case, thesystem will store the error.

2. Flashing - warning that the cata-lyst can be damaged (see “EOBD sys-tem” in this chapter).

If the warning light starts flashing, re-lease the accelerator pedal and slowthe engine until the warning light stopsflashing. Continue driving at moderatespeed, preventing the warning lightfrom coming on again. Contact a Fi-at Dealership as soon as possible.

INJECTION SYSTEMFAILURE (diesel versions) (red)

When there is a fault in the injectionsystem.

The warning light should come onwhen the ignition key is turned toMAR and go out after a few seconds.The warning light will stay on or come

on when travelling to indicate imperfectoperation of the injection system withpossible loss of performance, poor han-dling and higher consumption.

In these conditions, you can contin-ue driving but you should avoid de-manding efforts from the engine orhigh speeds. Contact a Fiat Dealer-ship as soon as possible.

Prolonged use of the vehicle with thewarning light on can cause damage tothe engine, especially in the event ofmisfiring. The vehicle can only be dri-ven for a short period of time at lowspeeds.

Turning the ignition key to MAR thewarning light shall come on and go offafter about 4 seconds. If the warninglight stays on or comes on when trav-elling, it indicates that there is a failurein the gearbox (flashing light) or thatthe gearbox oil is too hot (fixed light).

– Fixed light = automatic gearboxoil max. temperature.

Warning light coming on with fixedlight when travelling indicates thatgearbox oil temperature has reachedthe max. set limit; in this case stop thevehicle, set the gear selector to “N”or “P” with engine idling, (in this caseengine cooling fans are on), until thewarning light goes off. You can thencontinue driving but you should nottax the engine.

If the warning light comes on again,stop the vehicle with engine idling andwait until the warning light goes off.

If the warning light comes on againafter less than 15 minutes, stop the ve-hicle, do not switch off the engine butwait for proper cooling of the engine/ gearbox unit (both engine coolingfans off).

– Flashing light = automatic gear-box failure.

Warning light flashing at starting orwhen travelling indicates a fault in theautomatic gearbox.

Engaging the 3rd gear, the automat-ic control system starts an “emer-gency programme”.

SELF-STANDING SUPPLEMENTARYHEATER (where provided)

The vehicle can be equipped, upon re-quest, with two different self-standingheaters: one is totally automaticwhereas the other is programmable.

AUTOMATIC VERSION

The supplementary heater is totally in-dependent from the engine.

This heater is switched on automat-ically (if required) when turning the ig-nition key to MAR.

LOOKING AFTER THESYSTEM

During the winter, the climate con-trol system must be turned on at leastonce a month for about ten minutes.

Before summer, have the systemchecked at a Fiat Dealership.

PROGRAMMABLE VERSION

The supplementary heater is totallyindependent from the engine and canbe used to:

– heat the passenger compartmentwhen the engine is off;

– defrost the windows;

– heat the engine coolant and con-sequently the engine before starting.

The system consists of:

– a diesel burner to heat coolant withexhaust fume muffler;

– a metering pump connected to thevehicle fuel pipes to feed the burner;

– a heat exchanger connected to theengine cooling system pipes;

The system is filled withR134a refrigerant whichwill not pollute the envi-

ronment in the event of leakage.Under no circumstances shouldR12 fluid be used as it is incom-patible with the system compo-nents and contains CFC.

The heater burns fuel in thesame way as the engine,

though, of course, to a lesser degreeand therefore to avoid intoxicationand suffocation, never use the sup-plementary heater in closed areas,garages or workshops not equippedwith specific exhaust evacuationdevices even for short periods oftime.

WARNING

Page 61: Ducato Manual

60 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

– a control unit connected to theheater/ventilation unit for automaticoperation;

– an electronic control unit to checkand adjusted the integrated heaterburner;

– a digital timer A-fig. 85 to start theheater manually or to program staringtime.

In cold weather, the supplementaryheater automatically warms and cir-culates constant temperature fluid inthe engine cooling system for the timerequired to ensure optimal engine ig-nition and cab temperature conditions.

The heater can be started automat-ically (programmed by means of thedigital timer) or manually by pressingthe “heat now” button on the timer.

When the heater is turned on (au-tomatically or manually), the electroniccontrol unit operates the fluid circu-lation pump and safely ignites the burn-er.

The electronic control unit also con-trols the circulation pump delivery inorder to reduce initial heating time.When the fluid reaches a temperatureof 30°C, the control unit operates thepassenger compartment ventilationfan.

When the fluid temperature reaches72°C, the electronic control unit re-duces the burner power and stops op-eration when it reaches 76.5°C. Thetimer, circulation pump and heater fanare kept running. When the fluid tem-perature drops under 71°C the con-trol unit automatically turns the burn-er back on.

– Always remember to turn theheater off when refuelling or standingin service stations to avoid fires andexplosions.

– Do not park the vehicle over in-flammable material such as paper, drygrass or leaves: fire risk!

– The temperature near the heatermust never exceed 120°C (e.g. duringpainting operations in a workshopoven). Higher temperatures coulddamage the electronic control unitcomponents.

– When the engine is off, the heaterruns off the battery: it is consequentlyimportant to run the engine for a cer-tain period of time in order to restorethe battery charge.

– Follow the prescriptions in “Vehi-cle maintenance” section at paragraph“Engine coolant level” to check thecoolant level. The coolant in the cir-cuit must contain at least 10% an-tifreeze fluid.

– Maintenance and repairs must al-ways be carried out by a Fiat Deal-ership and only genuine spare partsmust be used.

MAINTENANCE

Have the heater checked at a FiatDealership periodically (always be-fore winter). This will ensure safe andcheap running and long appliance life.

The heater burns fuel in thesame way as the engine,

though, of course, to a lesser degreeand therefore to avoid intoxicationand suffocation, never use the sup-plementary heater in closed areas,garages or workshops not equippedwith specific exhaust evacuationdevices even for short periods oftime.

The device is automatically discon-nected in one of the following cases:

– pressing the brake pedal;

– pressing the clutch pedal;

– inadvertently moving the automat-ic gearbox selector to N.

A special horn warns any people nearthe vehicle that the driver is manoeu-vring it.

CRUISE CONTROL

GENERAL FEATURES

The cruise control, with electroniccontrol, allows driving the vehicle ata desired speed, without pressing theaccelerator pedal. This allows reduc-ing the driving fatigue on motorways,especially during long journeys, be-cause the memorised speed is auto-matically maintained.

Never set gear selector toN (vehicles fitted with au-

tomatic gearbox) when the vehicleis moving.

WARNINGThe Cruise Control must beactivated only when the

traffic and the path allow keeping,for a distance long enough, a con-stant speed in complete safety.

The cruise control is controlled bya set of controls located on the steer-ing wheel.

1) ON device on 2) OFF device off3) RES to reset the memorised

speed4) + to store and to keep the vehicle

speed or to increase the speed memo-rised 5) – to lower the speed memorised.

IMPORTANT Pressing buttonOFF or turning the key to STOP,the memorised speed is cancelled andthe system disengaged.

IMPORTANT In the case of need(when overtaking for instance) accel-eration is possible simply pressing theaccelerator pedal; later, releasing theaccelerator pedal, the vehicle will re-turn to the speed memorised previ-ously.

To reset the memorised speed

If the device has been disengaged forexample pressing the brake or clutchpedal, the memorised speed can be re-set as follows:– accelerate gradually until reaching

a speed approaching the one memo-rised;– engage the gear selected at the

time of speed memorising (4th or 5th

speed);– press button RES.

To memorise the speed

Press button ON and take the ve-hicle to the required speed normally.

Press button + for at least three sec-onds, then release it. The vehiclespeed is memorised and it is thereforepossible to release the acceleratorpedal.

The vehicle will carry on its ride atthe constant memorised speed untilone of the following condition occurs:

– pressing the brake pedal;

– pressing the clutch pedal;

– inadvertently moving the automat-ic gearbox selector to N.

To increase the memorisedspeed

The speed memorised can be in-creased in two ways:1 - pressing the accelerator and then

memorising the new speed reached(pressing button + for more thanthree seconds);2 - pressing briefly button +: each

pressing will correspond to a slight in-crease in speed (about 2.5 km/h) whilepressing continuously will correspondto a continuous speed increase. Re-leasing the button the new speed willbe memorised automatically.

To reduce the memorisedspeed

The speed memorised can be re-duced in two ways:1 - disengaging the device (for in-

stance pressing the brake pedal) andthen memorising the new speed(pressing button + for more thanthree seconds);2 - pressing button – until reaching

the new speed which will be memo-rised automatically.

To set to zero the memorisedspeed

The memorised speed is automati-cally reset:

– turning the engine off;

– pressing button OFF.

Do not engage the device in town orin busy flowing traffic conditions.

When travelling with thecruise control on, do not

move the gearshift lever to neutraland to not move the automaticgearbox selector to N. We suggestto engage the cruise control onlywhen the traffic and road condi-tions allow doing it in completesafety and so: straight and dryroads, freeways or motorways,smooth flowing traffic and even as-phalt.

WARNING

The cruise control can be en-gaged only with speeds high-

er than 40 km/h. The device may on-ly be engaged in 4th or 5th gear, de-pending on the speed of the vehicle.On vehicles with electronic automat-ic gearbox it can only be engagedwith selector to D, in automatic modewithout then moving the selectormanually, or with 3rd or 4th gear in se-quential operation. Travelling down-hill with the device engaged, the ve-hicle speed may increase more thanthe memorised one, due to thechange in the engine load.

88 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

If you have never driven a vehiclewith ABS before, you should practiceusing the system on slippery terrain,obviously with the necessary safetyprecautions and keeping to the High-way Code of the country you are in.It is also a good idea to read the fol-lowing information carefully.

The advantage in using the ABS sys-tem is that it continues to give youmaximum manoeuvrability even whenbraking hard in conditions of poor gripby preventing the wheels locking.

You should, however, not expect thebraking distance to always decrease:for example surfaces with gravel orfresh snow on a slippery road will infact increase the braking distance.

To exploit the ABS system to the fullin the event of necessity, you shouldtake heed of the following advice:

ABS

The vehicle is fitted with an ABSbraking system (optional), which pre-vents the wheels from locking whenbraking, makes the most of road gripand gives the best control when emer-gency braking under difficult road con-ditions.

The driver can tell the ABS systemhas come into play when he feels thebrake pedal pulsating slightly and thesystem gets noiser.

This should not be interpreted as afault in the brakes; on the contrary itis a sign that the ABS system is work-ing: it tells the driver that the vehicleis travelling at the limit of its road gripand that he should alter his speed tofit the type of road surface.

The ABS system is an addition to thebasic braking system. If there is a mal-function, the system turns off auto-matically and only the ordinary brakescontinue to work.

If a failure occurs, and consequentlythe anti-lock function is not effective,the braking system will continue towork as usual.

If the ABS system cuts in itis a sign that the grip be-

tween the tyre and the road surfacehas reached the limit: you mustslow down to match the speed tothe road grip available.

WARNING

If there is a fault, the warn-ing light > will light up on

the dashboard. At this point, reducespeed and go to a Fiat Dealershipto have your vehicle checked andput right immediately.

WARNING

The ABS exploits the tyre-road grip available to the

full, but it cannot improve it; youshould therefore take every carewhen driving on slippery surfaces,and not take unnecessary risks.

WARNING

Page 90: Ducato Manual

89GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Warning light > alone,with the engine running,

normally indicates a fault in theABS system only. In this case, thebraking system is still efficient,though without the anti-locking de-vice. Under these conditions, per-formance of the EBD system maybe reduced. In this case too, you areadvised to go immediately to thenearest Fiat Dealership, driving insuch a way to avoid sharp brakingto have the system checked over.

WARNING

If the x brake fluid lowwarning light comes on,

stop the vehicle immediately andcontact the nearest Fiat Dealership.Fluid leaks from the hydraulic sys-tem, in fact, can compromise brakesystem operation, both traditionalsystems and systems with ABS.

WARNING

Braking while cornering always re-quires extreme care even when usingABS.

The most important advice to followis this:

If you follow these tips you will beable to brake better in any situation.

IMPORTANT Vehicles fitted withABS shall only be fitted with wheel rims,tyres and brake pads of the make andmodel approved by the vehicle manu-facturer.

The system is completed with an elec-tronic brakeforce distributor calledEBD which improves braking systemperformance by means of the ABS sys-tem control unit and sensors.

When the ABS cuts in, andyou feel the brake pedal

pulsating, do not remove your foot,but keep it pressed. In doing so youwill stop in the shortest amount ofspace possible under the currentroad conditions.

WARNINGThe vehicle is fitted with anelectronic brakeforce dis-

tributor (EBD). The > and xwarning lights come on at the sametime when the engine is running toindicate that there is an EBD sys-tem failure. In this case violentbraking may be accompanied byearly rear wheel locking with thepossibility of skidding. Drive ex-tremely carefully to the nearest Fi-at Dealership to have the systemchecked.

FRONT AND SIDEAIRBAGS

FRONT AIRBAGS

Description and operation

The front airbag (driver’s and passen-ger’s) is a safety device which comes in-to action in the event of a head-on col-lision.

It consists of a cushion that inflatesinstantaneously contained in a specialrecess:

– in the centre of the steering wheelfor the driver; fig. 137;

– in the dashboard and with a biggercushion for the passenger fig. 138.

The front airbag (driver and passen-ger) has been designed to protect theoccupants in the event of head-oncrashes of medium-high severity, byplacing the cushion between the oc-cupant and the steering wheel or dash-board.

In case of crash, an electronic con-trol unit processes the signals from de-celeration sensor and, when required,triggers the inflation of the cushion.

The bag inflates instantly and acts asa protective barrier between the frontseat passengers and the structures infront of them that could cause injury.The bags deflate immediately after-wards.

fig. 137

F0D

0131

m

fig. 138F0

D01

69m

In case of crash, a person not wear-ing the seat belt moves forward andmay come into contact with the cush-ion while it is still inflating. Under thiscircumstance the protection offeredby the airbag is reduced.The front airbag (driver and passen-

ger) is therefore not a replacement ofbut is complementary to the use ofbelts, which should always be worn, asspecified by law in Europe and mostnon-European countries.In the case of minor head-on colli-

sions, (for which the restraining actionof the seat belt is sufficient) the airbagis not triggered. In collisions against highly deformable

or mobile objects (such as road signs,heaps of gravel or snow, parked vehi-cles, etc.), in rear crashes (such asbumps from behind by another vehi-cle), side impacts, and in case of wedg-ing under other vehicles or protectivebarriers (for example under a truck orguard rail), the airbag is not triggeredas it offers no additional protectioncompared with the seat belts, conse-quently, it would be pointless.

Page 92: Ducato Manual

91GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Therefore, failure to come into ac-tion in the above circumstances doesnot mean that the system is not work-ing properly.Airbag system efficiency is constant-

ly monitored by an electronic controlunit.If warning light ¬ (A-fig. 139)

comes on when travelling (indicating afault), have immediately the systemchecked and repaired at a Fiat Deal-ership.

FRONT AIRBAG PASSENGER SIDE

The passenger’s front airbag has beendesigned and calibrated to improve theprotection of a person wearing seatbelts.

At its maximum inflation, its volumefills most of the space between thedashboard and the passenger.

SERIOUS DANGER If it isabsolutely necessary to car-ry a child on the front pas-senger seat with the cradlechild’s seat facing back-

wards, the front passenger’s air bagmust be deactivated using the keyswitch. In this case it is absolutelynecessary to check the warninglight F (see paragraph “Passen-ger’s front air bag”) to make surethat deactivation has actually tak-en place.

WARNING

With passenger’s air bagactive, never place child’s

seats with the cradle facing back-wards since the air bag activationcould cause to the child serious in-juries, even mortal, regardless of theseriousness of the crash that trig-gered it. You are advised to carrychildren always with proper re-straint systems on the rear seats, asthis is the most protected positionin the case of a crash.

SIDE BAGS fig. 142

The purpose of the side bag is toprotect the front seat passenger’schest in the event of a side impact ofmedium to high degree.

The device consists of a bag housedin the front seat backs which imme-diately inflates. This solution ensuresthat the bag is in an optimal positionregardless of the seat position.

In the event of a side impact, the con-trol unit processes the signals from adeceleration sensor and fires the sidebag.

The bag inflates instantly and acts asa soft protective barrier between thefront seat passenger’s chest and vehi-cle door. The bag deflates immediate-ly afterwards.

In the event of low speed side colli-sions (for which seat belts are suffi-cient protection), the airbag is not trig-gered. Also in this case, it is importantto wear seat belts at all times. This willensure correct positioning of the pas-senger and prevent being projectedfrom the vehicle in the event of veryviolent crashes.

The side bag (driver and passenger)is therefore not a replacement of butis complementary to the use of belts,which should always be worn, as spec-ified by law in Europe and most non-European countries.

GENERAL WARNINGS

The front and/or side airbagsmay be deployed if the vehicle issubject to heavy knocks or acci-dents involving the underbodyarea, such as for example violentshocks against steps, kerbs or lowobstacles, falling of the vehicle inbig holes or sags in the road.

Triggering of the airbags re-leases a small amount of powder.This powder is not harmful anddoes not indicate the start of fire.The unfold cushion surface andthe vehicle interiors could be cov-ered by dusty remains: this dustcould irritate skin and eyes. Incase of contact, wash yourself us-ing neutral soap and water.

The airbag system has a validityof 14 years as to the pyrotechniccharge and 10 years as to the coilcontact (see the plate set on theleft front door post near hinges).

As these dates approach, con-tact Fiat Dealership for replace-ment.

If an accident has triggered theairbag, contact a Fiat Dealershipso that the whole safety device,electronic control unit, belt, pre-tensioners can be replaced andhave the electric system checkedover.

All control, repair and replace-ment operations concerning theairbags must only be carried outat a Fiat Dealership.

If you are having the vehiclescrapped, have the airbag systemdeactivated at a Fiat Dealershipfirst.

Page 95: Ducato Manual

94 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

If the vehicle changes owner-ship, the new owner must be in-formed of the method of use ofairbags and the above warningsand also be given this OwnerHandbook.

The triggering of pretensionersand front and side airbags is de-cided in a differentiated mannerby the electronic control unit, de-pending on the type of crash. Thefailure to deploy one or more ofthem does not mean that the sys-tem is not working properly.

If the ¬ warning light doesnot turn on when turning

the ignition key to MAR or if it stayson when travelling, this could indi-cate a failure in safety retaining sys-tems; under this condition air bagsor pretensioners could not triggerin the event of collision or, in a re-stricted number of cases, they couldtrigger accidentally. Stop the carand contact Fiat Dealership to havethe system checked immediately.

WARNING

If the vehicle has beenstolen or an attempt to

steal it has been made, if it hasbeen subjected to vandals or floods,have the airbag system checked byFiat Dealership.

WARNING

Do not apply stickers orother objects to the steer-

ing wheel or to the airbag consoleon the passenger’s side. Never trav-el with objects on your lap, in frontof your chest or with a pipe, pencil,etc. between your lips; injury mayresult in the event of the airbag be-ing triggered.

WARNING

Always keep your hands onthe steering wheel rim

when driving, so that if the airbagis triggered, it can inflate withoutmeeting any obstacles which couldcause serious harm to you. Do notdrive with the body bent forwards,keep the seat back rest in the erectposition and lean your back wellagainst it.

WARNING

When the passenger’s frontairbag is active (passenger

front airbag deactivation switch atON), the F warning light willcome on for approx. 4 seconds andflash for other four seconds whenthe ignition key is turned to MAR toremind the driver that the passen-ger’s front and side airbags (whereprovided) will be fired in the eventof a crash. The warning light shouldgo off immediately afterwards.

WARNING

Page 96: Ducato Manual

95GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The correct operation offront and side airbags and

pretensioners is only ensured if thevehicle is not overloaded.

WARNING EOBD SYSTEM (petrol versions only)

The EOBD (European On Board Di-agnosis) system fitted on the vehiclecomplies with Directive 98/69/CE(EURO 3).

This system continuously monitorsthe engine emission system compo-nents. Furthermore, the system warnsthe driver of deterioration concerningthe emission system components bymeans of the U warning light on theinstrument panel.

The objective is to:

– monitor system efficiency;

– warn when failures can increaseemissions over the threshold estab-lished by the European regulations;

– warn of the need to replace dete-riorated components.

Remember that with thekey engaged and in the

MAR position, even with the en-gine not running, the airbags maybe triggered on a stationary vehi-cle if it is bumped by another mov-ing vehicle. Therefore, never seatchildren on the front seat evenwhen the vehicle is stationary. Onthe other hand, remember thatwith the vehicle stationary, with-out the key engaged and turned,the airbags are not triggered in theevent of an impact; in these cases,failure to come into action of theairbags cannot be considered as asign that the system is not workingproperly.

WARNING

On vehicles equipped withside bags, do not cover the

backrest of the front seats withtrims or covers.

WARNING

The airbag does not substi-tute the seat belts, but on-

ly increases their effectiveness.Moreover, since the front airbagsdo not come into operation in theevent of front impact at low speed,side collisions, bumps from behindor overturning, in these circum-stances the occupants would onlybe protected by the seat belts whichmust therefore always be fastened.

WARNING

Do not wash the seat backin vehicles with side bags

with pressurised steam or water inautomatic seat washing station.

The action of the ASR is particularlyhelpful in the following circumstances:

– slipping of the inner wheel due tothe effect of dynamic load changes orexcessive acceleration.

– too much power transmitted tothe wheels also in relation to the con-ditions of the road surface.

– acceleration on slippery, snowy orfrozen surfaces.

– in the case of loss of grip on a wetsurface (aquaplaning).

Furthermore, the system is equippedwith a connector for interfacing withspecific tools used to read the errorcodes stored in the control unit mem-ory along with a set of diagnostic andengine specific parameters.

ASR SYSTEM(Antislip Regulation)

The ASR system controls the vehicledrive and cuts in automatically everytime one or both driving wheels slip.

In slipping conditions, two differentcontrol systems are activated:

– if the slipping involves both the dri-ving wheels, the ASR function inter-venes reducing the power transmittedby the engine;

– if slipping involves only one drivingwheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-matically braking the wheel that is slip-ping.

IMPORTANT After eliminating theproblem, your Fiat Dealership willrun a bench test to fully check the sys-tem. In some cases, a long road testmay be required.

Contact a Fiat Dealer-ship as soon as possible ifthe U warning light ei-

ther does not come on when thekey is turned to MAR or comeson, with fixed or flashing light,when travelling. Warning light Uoperation can be checked bymeans of special equipment bytraffic agents. Always complywith the road traffic regulationsin force in the Country where youare travelling.

The performance of thesystem, in terms of active

safety should not induce the driverto take pointless and unnecessaryrisks. The style of driving must inany case always be adapted to theconditions of the road surface, vis-ibility and traffic. Road safety is al-ways the driver’s responsibility.

TELEPHONES

Cellular telephones and other radiotransceiver equipment (e.g. HAM ra-dio system) must not be used insidethe vehicle unless a separate aerial ismounted on the outside of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT The use of cellulartelephones, HAM transmitters or oth-er similar devices inside the passengercompartment (without external aeri-al) produces RF electromagnetic fieldswhich, amplified by the resonance ef-fects inside the passenger compart-ment may cause vehicle electrical sys-tem to malfunction.

Moreover, the transmission and re-ceiving quality deteriorates due to thescreening effect of the vehicle body.

Have the cellular phone and the con-nections to the system installed by aFiat Dealership.

The hands-free tele-phone you purchase willneed to be compatible

with your cellular telephone.

Have the cellular tele-phone and the connec-tions to the system in-

DIESEL ENGINES

The vehicle must onlybe filled with diesel fuelfor motor vehicles, in

compliance with European Spec-ification EN590. The use of otherproducts or mixtures may ir-reparably damage the enginewith invalidation of the warran-ty due to the damage caused. Inthe event of accidentally fillingwith another type of fuel, do notstart the engine and empty thetank. If the engine has been runeven for only a very short time,in addition to the tank, it is alsonecessary to drain out the wholefuel circuit.

AT THE FILLING STATION

PETROL ENGINES

Use unleaded petrol only.

However, to avoid mistakes, the fu-el filler is too small for the leadedpetrol pump.

Octane rating (R.O.N.) must not belower than 95.

Never put even the tini-est amount of leadedpetrol in the fuel tank of

your Ducato even in an emer-gency. You would damage thecatalytic converter beyond re-pair.

An inefficient catalyticconverter will allowharmful exhaust fumes to

be emitted and thus contributeto air pollution.

Diesel fuel fluidity decreases at lowtemperatures due to the paraffin itcontains and can clog up the fuel filter.

To avoid possible problems, fuellingstations usually sell summer, winter orarctic (mountain/cold areas) fuel ac-cording to the period of the year.

If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitablefor the temperature of use, addDIESEL MIX to the fuel, in the pro-portions written on the container. Pourthe antifreeze into the fuel tank beforethe fuel.

DIESEL MIX antifreeze is effectiveonly if it is added before the cold be-gins to take effect on the fuel. Addingthe product after will not have any ef-fect.

Page 105: Ducato Manual

104 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT The airtight seal ofthe cap may lead to a slight increase ofpressure in the tank. A hissing soundwhen the cap is removed is thereforequite normal.

After refuelling, screw the cap untilhearing one or more clicks, turn thekey and then remove it.. close the lid.

IMPORTANT Moreover, beforestarting the engine, for the sake ofsafety, check whether the refuellinggun is properly hung onto the fuelpump.

If required, replace thefuel cap with another gen-uine cap to avoid affecting

the efficiency of the fuel vapourrecovery system.

PROTECTING THEENVIRONMENTProtection of the environment has

been the guiding principle in the designof the Fiat Ducato right from the start.The result is the use of materials andcreation of devices that can reduce orconsiderably curtail harmful influenceson the environment.

The devices for curtailing petrol en-gine emissions are:

– a three-way catalytic converter;

– a lambda sensor;

– a fuel evaporation system.

The devices for curtailing diesel en-gine emissions are:

– an oxidising catalytic converter;

– an exhaust gas recirculation system(E.G.R.) (for certain versions).

Consequently, the Fiat Ducato isready to travel well ahead of the moststringent international pollution controlstandards.

Keep naked flames or light-ed cigarettes away from

the fuel filler hole as there is a dan-ger of fire. Do not bend too close tothe hole either so as not to breathein harmful vapours.

vehicle tends to move by inertia ifit is not on a level surface: keep thebrake pedal pressed when the leveris at N.

WARNING

D - Forward gear

This is the position to be used whendriving forward normally. The elec-tronic control unit controls automat-ic engagement of the 4 gears depend-ing on the position of the accelerator,driving speed, engine rpm, longitudinaland transversal acceleration and thetype of road.

The electronic gearbox can chosebetween different operating pro-grammes, which range between com-fortable economy driving and sportydriving coming into operation betweenthe lowest and the highest speed.

Pressing the accelerator pedal quick-ly the gearbox will immediately selectthe sportier programme to meet therequest for increased performance. Todisengage the function release the ac-celerator by at least 1/4 of the stroke.

In the same way, during braking alower gear is engaged to better exploitthe braking action of the engine. Ifthere is another bend the new ratiowill be engaged already when slowingdown before the bend, this way at theend of the bend the gearbox will nothave to shift gear to cope with accel-eration.

Kickdown

To obtain optimum acceleration, forexample when overtaking, the gearboxwill kickdown by two gears simply byquickly pressing fully home the accel-erator pedal (in 1/10 of a second).

Engagement of the next longer ratiowill take place when the maximumrpm limit is reached.

With the engine at idlespeed and the gearshift

lever at D, the vehicle tends to movealso on a level surface: keep thebrake pedal pressed until moving off.

SEQUENTIAL MANUALOPERATION

For the sequential manual operationmode, move the lever to the left sec-tor B-fig. 4 with two positions:

(+) = engagement of the higher ra-tio;

(–) = engagement of the lower ratio.

Moving the gearshift lever to themanual sector is only possible fromposition D: the ratio selected by theautomatic gearbox when the lever ismoved will remain engaged.

When the sequential manual mode isselected, the display shows the en-gaged gear fig. 6.

To select the higher ratio move thelever in the (+) direction and to shiftdown move the lever to (–).

IMPORTANT If the request todownshift would cause engineoverevving, this is eliminated by theelectronic control unit. Moreover, ifthe manually engaged gear causes en-gine overevving, the electronic controlunit will shift gear automatically to themost appropriate one (AUTO-UP).

When the sequential man-ual mode has been set and

a high gear is engaged, to acceler-ate rapidly, for example to over-take, it is necessary to downshiftby hand: the kickdown featurecannot be engaged!

WARNING

Engaging the automaticWINTER programme (only with lever in “D”)

Press button A-fig. 8 to engage theautomatic WINTER programme thatmakes the vehicle starting in 2nd gear.This mode is recommended underpoor grip conditions (snow, ice, mud,etc.).

Use this function only when requiredin poor grip road conditions then con-tinue driving with the WINTER func-tion off.

The WINTER function shall alwaysbe off on slopes.

Moving the lever back to position Dthe gearbox instantly resumes the au-tomatic mode selecting the ratio ac-cording to the driving characteristics.

IMPORTANT The electronic con-trol unit is programmed to changegear one at a time, therefore repeat-ed fast actuations will not result in re-peated engagements of the gears. Thehigher or lower gear is engaged mov-ing the lever to the (+) or (–) positionwhen the previous request has beenperformed.

In the event of a fault to the sequen-tial manual system, the system will se-lect the automatic mode.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

Automatic gearbox faults are indi-cated by the warning light A-fig. 9 onthe instrument panel.

Turning the ignition key to MAR thewarning light should turn on and goout after about 4 seconds. If the warn-ing light stays on or if turns on whentravelling, this indicates a gearbox fault(flashing light) or gearbox oil over-heating (steadily glowing light).

– Warning light glowing steadi-ly = automatic gearbox oil maximumtemperature.

If the warning light turns on andglows steadily when travelling, this in-dicates that the gearbox oil hasreached the maximum temperature.You are therefore advised to stop thevehicle with the engine at idle speedand gearshift lever in “N” or “P” (inthis case engine cooling fans are on),until the warning light goes out and re-sume your journey without pushingthe engine to peak performance.

If the warning light turns on again, itis necessary to stop again with the en-gine idling until it goes out.

If there are less than 15 minutes be-tween one turning on of the warninglight and the next, you are advised tostop the vehicle, do not switch off theengine but allow the engine-gearboxunit to cool down completely (bothengine cooling fans off).

BUMP STARTING

Starting by pushing or towing the ve-hicle is not possible. In the event of anemergency, when the battery is flat,start the vehicle with a suitable emer-gency battery, following the instruc-tions given in section “In an emer-gency” at paragraph “Jump starting”.

TOWING THE VEHICLE

IMPORTANT For towing the ve-hicle comply with current local regu-lations and follow the instructions giv-en in section “In an emergency” atparagraph “Towing the vehicle”.

If the vehicle is to be towed, adhereto the following recommendations:

– if possible, carry the vehicle on thefloor of a rescue vehicle;

– if this is not possible, tow the ve-hicle raising the driving wheels (front)from the ground;

– if this, too, is not possible, the ve-hicle should not be towed for morethan 200 km at a speed of no morethan 50 km/h.

When towing, the gearshift levershould be at N.

Do not start the enginewhile the vehicle is beingtowed.

The failure to complywith these instructionsmay cause serious dam-

age to the automatic gearbox.

When travelling with thegearbox faulty, drive with

the utmost care in consideration ofthe limited performance (in termsof acceleration and speed) that thevehicle can offer.

WARNING

When travelling with thegearbox faulty, the revers-

ing gear lock might not be active:absolutely never move the lever tothe R position with the vehicle onthe move.

WARNING– Warning light flashing = auto-matic gearbox fault.

Warning light flashing at starting orwhen travelling indicates a fault in theautomatic gearbox.

The automatic control system setsan “emergency programme” engagingthe 3rd gear.

Switching the engine off and then onagain, the self-test system could ex-clude the fault and therefore turn offthe warning light. The failure is how-ever stored and the automatic gear-box shall be checked at a Fiat Deal-ership.

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

DUCATO automatic gearbox is con-trolled electronically with four for-ward gears and reverse.

It is controlled by an electronic con-trol unit which handles:

– the torque distributor;

– gearshifting;

– specific programmes.

The gearbox is coupled with a flowpower torque distributor with pilotedantislip device which makes it possibleto obtain demultiplication ratios.

The characteristic of this gearboxwhich works without idle gear enables:

– higher compactness and weight re-duction;

– improved output due to less fric-tion;

– lower stress of transmission com-ponents.

GENERAL FEATURES

Electronic gearbox control makes itpossible to obtain gearshifting suitedto momentary engine characteristicswith a certain elasticity.

The electronic control unit has thefollowing task:

– adapting the oil pressure forgearshifting to the engine torque;

– activating safety functions;

– defining the manual gearshiftingprogramme;

– system diagnostics.

For controlling these operating log-ics the control unit uses the follow-ing signals:

– engine rpm;

– engine temperature;

– engine torque;

– vehicle speed;

– gearbox oil temperature;

– gearshift lever position;

– accelerator pedal position;

– brake pedal position.

The control unit also communicateswith the injection system electroniccontrol unit.

Conditions of use analysed bythe control unit

The control unit analyses each singlecondition of use of the vehicle, dis-criminating it on the basis of the sig-nals received from the various sensors.

Analysed conditions are the follow-ing:

– starting (position/accelerator ped-al changing speed);

– acceleration (accelerator pedalcompletely pushing down speed);

– full load (number of engine full loadkickdown signals or position mainte-nance time);

Page 119: Ducato Manual

118 GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

– braking (accelerator pedal releasetime and braking system operation);

– type of programme (gearshift se-lector lever position);

– winter driving (driving wheeltorque reduction);

– driving with trailer or uphill (vehi-cle speed in relation to transmittedtorque)

– driving downhill (vehicle accelera-tion in relation to the position of theaccelerator pedal);

– driving in towns or queues (accel-erator pedal position and vehiclespeed);

– gear required by the driver(gearshift lever position);

– cold starting (engine temperature).

Gearshift programme control

To optimise vehicle handling theelectronic control unit has the fol-lowing memorised programmes:

– automatic operation;

– manual operation;

– winter driving (to be selectedthrough button WINTER);

– engine warming up;

– protection against excessive gear-box oil temperature .

Automatic programme

This comprises 16 gearshifting pro-grammes.

In relation to the vehicle speed andtorque transmitted, the control unitdetects the slope of the road surfaceand depending on the sporty featureschosen, it autonomously chooses theprogramme most suited to the situa-tion.

During gearshifting, the gearbox con-trol unit asks the injection control unitto momentarily reduce the torque.The duration of torque reductionvaries depending on the travelling con-ditions.

Page 120: Ducato Manual

119GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

Manual sequential programme

This function enables manual se-quential use of the gearbox merelymoving the selector lever to the left.

Each time the lever is pressed onlyone gear is shifted: more than one shiftcannot be obtained.

To avoid overevving or excessivelylow engine rpm, the control unit in-hibits requests for gearshifting thatwould cause such situations.

Winter driving programme

This programme is engaged by press-ing button WINTER near thegearshift lever,

in case of driving wheel skidding andit changes to specific gears.

Starting is possible only in 2nd gear.On snowy roads use however snowchains and/or tyres.

The WINTER function shall alwaysbe off on slopes.

Engine warming up programme

This programme allows the engine toreach normal operating temperaturein the shortest time possible (de-pending on the outside temperature)highering the gearshifting points, in re-lation to engine temperature.

The programme engages automati-cally after starting, if the engine tem-perature is below 30 °C and it remainsactive up to 34 °C.

Excessive gearbox oiltemperature programme

This is activated when the gearboxoil temperature reaches 120 °C and itremains active down to 117 °C.

To facilitate oil cooling, this pro-gramme inhibits gearshifting, either upor down. It is however possible to usethe manual programme.

SAFE DRIVING

In designing Ducato, Fiat has madeevery effort to come up with a vehicleable to provide driver and passengerswith top-class levels of safety. Never-theless it is always the behaviour of theperson at the wheel that determinesroad safety.

In the following pages you will findsome simple tips to help you travel insafety under different conditions. Youwill no doubt be familiar with many ofthem already but it will be useful toread them all carefully.

Page 121: Ducato Manual

120 GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

BEFORE GETTING BEHINDTHE WHEEL

– Make sure all light, including theheadlights, are working properly;

– adjust the position of seats and dri-ving and door mirrors properly for thebest driving position;

– make sure that nothing (mats, etc.)gets in the way of the pedals whenthey are pushed down;

– make sure that any child restraintsystems (child seats, cradles, etc.) areproperly fixed;

– place any objects in the load com-partment in such a way that they can-not be thrown forwards in the eventof an accident;

– light eating will help keep your re-flexes prompt. Above all, do not haveanything alcoholic to drink.

Remember to periodically check:

– tyre pressure,

– engine oil level,

– engine coolant level and coolingsystem conditions,

– brake fluid level,

– windscreen washer fluid level.

WHEN TRAVELLING

– The first rule of safe driving is pru-dence;

– prudence also means putting your-self into a position where you can pre-dict wrong or imprudent behaviourfrom other drivers;

– stick closely to the rules of theroad in the particular country wherethe vehicle is being driven and, aboveall, do not exceed speed limits;

– ensure that, besides yourself, all theother passengers in the vehicle havetheir seat belts fastened, that childrenare sitting in the appropriate childseats and any animals in the vehicle areplaced in suitable compartment;

– you should be physically fit andmentally alert before setting out onlong journeys.

Always fasten both frontand back seat belts

(Panorama, Minibus, Combi andCrew Cab versions). Travelling withthe seat belts unfastened increas-es the risk of injury or death if youare in a collision.

WARNING

Driving while drunk or un-der the influence of drugs

or certain medicines is dangerousfor both you and other road users.

WARNING

Page 122: Ducato Manual

121GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

– Do not drive too many hours at atime but stop at intervals to stretchyour legs and recoup your energy;

– make sure the air in the passenger’scompartment is being changedcontinuously;

– never coast downhill (i.e. with theengine off): if you do, you lose the aidof engine braking, power brakes andpower steering so that braking re-quires greater effort on the pedal andsteering requires greater effort on thesteering wheel.

DRIVING AT NIGHT

These are the main rules to followwhen you are driving at night:

– drive especially carefully: it is hard-er to drive at night;

– slow down especially if the road isnot lit;

– at the first signs of sleepiness, stop:continuing would be a risk for yourselfand everybody else. Only start drivingagain when you have had enough rest;

– keep a greater safety distance fromthe vehicles in front of you than dur-ing daylight hours: it is hard to judgehow fast other vehicles are going whenall you can see are their lights;

– make sure the headlights beams areproperly positioned: if they are toolow, they reduce visibility and strainyour eyes. If they are too high they candazzle other drivers. Adjust headlightbeam according to transported load;

– only use main beam headlightswhen you are driving outside townand when you are sure they do not an-noy other drivers. dip your headlights

Water, ice or salt sprinkledon the road can deposit on

the brake discs and reduce effi-ciency of the first braking.

WARNINGDo not drive with objectson the floor in front of the

driver’s seat: they could caught un-der the pedals making braking oraccelerating impossible.

WARNING

Pay attention to the mats:even a small problem to the

braking system may require in-creased brake pedal stroke with re-spect to normal.

WARNING

Page 123: Ducato Manual

122 GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

as soon as you see vehicles coming inthe other direction and pass them withthe headlights dipped;

– keep all lights clean;

– be careful of animals crossing theroad when driving in the country. Slowdown to avoid the risk of runningthem over.

DRIVING IN THE RAIN

Rain and wet road surfaces spell dan-ger. All manoeuvres are more difficulton a wet road because the grip of thewheels on the tarmac is greatly re-duced. This is why braking distancesare much longer and road-holding islower.

Here is some advice for driving in therain:

– reduce speed and maintain agreater safety distance from the vehi-cles in front;

– If it is raining particularly heavily,visibility is also reduced. In these cas-es, switch on the dipped headlightseven if it is still daylight so you can beseen more easily;

– Do not drive through puddles atspeed and hold on tightly to the wheelif you do: a puddle taken at high speedmight cause you to lose control of thevehicle (aquaplaning);

– Position the ventilation controls fordemisting (see section “Getting toknow your vehicle”), to prevent visi-bility from worsening;

– Routinely check the conditions ofthe windscreen wiper blades.

DRIVING IN FOG

– If the fog is thick, do not start outon a journey unless you absolutelyhave to.

If driving in mist, blanket fog or whenthere is the danger of fog patches:

– keep your speed down;

– turn on the dipped headlights, rearfog lights and front fog lights, if fitted,even during the day. Do not drive withyour headlights at main beam.

IMPORTANT On stretches ofroad with good visibility, switch offyour rear foglights; the brightness ofthese lights could annoy the peopletravelling in the vehicles behind.

– Remember that fog also means thetaramac is wet and therefore ma-noeuvres of all kinds are more difficultand stopping distances are longer;

– keep a good distance from the ve-hicles in front of you;

– as far as possible, avoid spurts ofspeed or sudden deceleration;

– do not overtake other vehicles ifpossible;

Page 124: Ducato Manual

123GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

– if you are forced to stop your ve-hicle (breakdown, limited visibility,etc.) try to stop off the road. Turn onthe hazard lights and, if possible, thedipped beam headlights. Rhythmicallysound the horn if you release anoth-er vehicle is coming.

DRIVING IN THEMOUNTAINS

– Check fluid levels (oil, brake fluid,coolant) and tyre wear before drivingin the mountains;

– when driving downhill use the en-gine braking effect by engaging a lowgear so as not to overheat the brakes;

– under no circumstances should youdrive downhill with the engine off orwith the gear in neutral, let alone withthe ignition key out;

– drive at moderate speed and avoid“cutting” corners;

– remember that overtaking whilegoing uphill is slower and therefore re-quires more free road. If you are be-ing overtaken while driving uphill,make it easier for the other vehicleto pass.

DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE

Here are some tips for driving inthese conditions:

– keep your speed down;

– use chains if the roads are coveredwith snow;

– do not park the vehicle with theengine running for long periods oftime: snow could divert exhaust fumesinto the passenger compartment;

– mainly use the braking effect of theengine and under all circumstancesavoid braking sharply;

– when braking a vehicle not fittedwith ABS, reduce the possibility of thewheels locking by varying the pressureyou exert on the brake pedal;

– do not accelerate suddenly andavoid swerving;

– in the winter, even apparently dryroads may have icy patches. Be care-ful therefore when driving overstretches that do not get much expo-sure to the sun or are lined with treesor rocks where ice might not havemelted;

– keep a good distance from the ve-hicles in front.

DRIVING WITH ABS

– ABS is a braking system that es-sentially offers two advantages:

1) It prevents wheel lock and con-sequent skidding in emergency stops,particularly when the road does notoffer much grip.

2) it makes it possible to brake andsteer at the same time and direct thevehicle where you want while braking.

Page 125: Ducato Manual

124 GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

To get the most out of ABS:

– During emergency stops or whengrip conditions are poor, you will feela slight pulsation on the brake pedal.This is the sign that the ABS is work-ing. Do not release the brake pedal butcontinue to press so as not to inter-rupt the braking action;

– ABS enables you to brake and steerat the same time. If you meet an un-expected obstacle you can thereforesteer around it;

– the ABS prevents the wheels fromlocking but it does not increase actu-al grip conditions between tyre androad. Therefore, even if your vehicleis fitted with ABS, keep a safe distancefrom the vehicle in front of you andkeep your speed down when drivinginto bends.

ABS serves to increase your controlover the vehicle, not to enable you togo faster.

Some suggestions which may helpyou to keep the running costs of thevehicle down and lower the amountof toxic emissions released into the at-mosphere are given below.

GENERALCONSIDERATIONS

Vehicle maintenance

Carry out the checks and adjust-ments/regulations specified in the“Service Schedule”.

Tyres

Check tyre inflation pressure regu-larly. Tyres should be checked at leastonce every four weeks: if the pressureis too low, fuel consumption increas-es as the resistance to the rollingmovement of the tyre is greater.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with too much load.The weight of the vehicle (specially inurban traffic) and its trim greatly ef-fects consumption and stability.

Roof rack/ski rack

Remove the roof or ski racks fromthe vehicle as soon as they are nolonger needed. These accessories re-duce the aerodynamic penetration ofthe vehicle and will increase con-sumption. When transporting partic-ularly large objects, use a trailer,where possible.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS

Page 126: Ducato Manual

125GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

Electric devices

Use electric devices for the neces-sary time only. The heated rear win-dow, fog lights, windscreen wipers,heater fan require large amounts ofelectricity and increasing the requestfor power will also increase fuel con-sumption (up to +25% when driving intowns).

Climate control system

The climate control system is an ad-ditional load which greatly affects theengine leading to higher consumption.When the temperature outside thevehicle allows it, use the air ventswhere possible.

DRIVING STYLE

Starting

Do not warm the engine when thevehicle is stationary or at high or lowspeed: in this way the engine will warmup gradually increasing consumptionand emissions. You should drive offslowly straight away avoiding high revsso that the engine will warm up morequickly.

Unnecessary actions

Avoid revving the engine whenstopped at traffic lights or beforeswitching off the engine and avoid dou-bling the clutch as these actions haveno purpose on modern vehicles andserve only to increase consumptionand pollution.

Gear selections

As soon as the traffic and road con-ditions allow it, shift to a higher gear.Using a low gear to liven up accelera-tion greatly increases consumption. Inthe same way improper use of highgears will increase consumption, emis-sions and engine wear.

On passenger transportation versionsfitted with 2.3, 2.8 JTD and 2.8 JTDPOWER engines, fuel consumption canbe optimised by starting (on level road)in 2nd gear instead of 1st gear.

Top speeds

Fuel consumption increases consid-erably as speed increases. Your speedshould be kept as even as possible andsuperfluous braking and accelerationavoided as this increases both con-sumption and emissions.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently increasing therevs will greatly affect consumptionand emissions; acceleration should begradual and should not exceed themaximum torque.

Page 127: Ducato Manual

126 GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

CONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Frequent cold starting will not enablethe engine to reach optimal runningtemperature. It follows, therefore,that consumption will be higher (from+15 to +30% in towns) as will theproduction of toxic emissions.

Traffic and road conditions

Heavy traffic and higher consumptionare synonymous: for example, whendriving slowly with frequent use of low-er gears or in towns where there arenumerous traffic lights.

Winding roads, mountain roads andbumpy roads also have a negative effecton consumption.

Enforced halts

During prolonged stops (traffic lights,level crossings, etc.) the engine shouldbe switched off.

LOADRECOMMENDATIONS

The version of the Ducato you aredriving has been designed and ap-proved on the basis of several setmaximum weights (see the tables“Weights” in section “Technical spec-ifications”):

– kerb weight

– payload

– total weight

– total weight on the front axle

– total weight on the rear axle

– towable weight

fig. 10F0

D00

47m

Each of these limits must beborne in mind and MUST

NEVER BE EXCEEDED under anycircumstances. In particular, neverexceed the maximum weight per-mitted on the front and rear axleswhen arranging loads in vehicle (es-pecially for special version vehicles).

WARNING

Chance knocks or suddenbraking can cause sudden

shifts of the load which could jeop-ardise the safety of the driver andthe passengers: before you start offmake sure the load is firmly securedby using the hooks built into thefloor for that purpose fig. 10. Usemetal cables, ropes or straps strongenough to support the weight ofthe load to be fixed.

WARNING

Page 128: Ducato Manual

127GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

In addition to these general precau-tions, some simple measures could en-hance driving safety, comfort and thelength of the vehicle’s life:

– distribute the load evenly over theload floor: if you need to concentrateit all in one point choose the part be-tween the axles;

– remember that the lower the loadis, the lower the vehicle’s centre ofgravity will be, contributing to a safedrive; you should therefore always po-sition the heavier goods at the bottom;

– finally, remember that the way inwhich the vehicle moves is influencedby the weight being carried. In partic-ular, stopping distance lengthens par-ticularly at high speed.

CHEAP RUNNINGTHAT RESPECTS THE ENVIRONMENT

Environmental protection has beenone of the guiding principles in theproduction of the Ducato. It is no ac-cident that its pollution control equip-ment is much more effective than thatrequired by current legislation.

Nonetheless, the environment can-not get by without a concerted effortfrom everyone. By following a few sim-ple rules you can avoid harming theenvironment and often cut down fuelconsumption at the same time.

On this subject, a few useful tips havebeen given below to supplement thosemarked by symbol # at various pointsof the handbook. You are asked toread both the former and latter care-fully.

Even if the vehicle is sta-tionary on a steep hill or

sideways incline, goods not proper-ly secured could fall out when theback or side doors are opened.

WARNING

Observe the enforced rulesif you need to carry a spare

can of petrol. Only use a homolo-gated can and secure it to the loadanchoring eyebolts. Even giventhese precautions, the risk of fire inthe event of an accident is in-creased.

WARNING

Page 129: Ducato Manual

128 GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

LOOKING AFTER EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES

The correct use of pollution controldevices not only ensures respect forthe environment but also has an effecton the vehicle’s performance.

Keeping these devices in good con-ditions is therefore a fundamental rulefor driving that is easy on your pock-et and on the environment too.

The first step to take is to follow theService Schedule to the letter.

If your vehicle has a petrol enginewith catalytic converter use only un-leaded petrol.

if you have trouble starting, do notkeep turning the ignition key for longperiods. Be especially careful to avoidbump starting the vehicle by pushing,towing or rolling downhill: these areall manoeuvres that can damage thecatalyst.

Use an auxiliary battery for start-upsonly.

If the engine begins to “loose itssmoothness” when travelling, contin-ue your journey but reduce the de-mands you are making on the engineand have the vehicle seen to at a Fi-at Dealership as soon as you can.

When the instrument panel fuel re-serve warning light comes on, fill up assoon as possible. A low fuel level maycause an uneven supply of fuel to theengine with inevitable increase in thetemperature of the exhaust gas and se-rious damage to the catalytic con-verter.

Never run the engine with one ormore spark plugs disconnected, evenfor testing purposes.

Do not warm up the engine by let-ting it idle for a while before movingoff unless the outside temperature isvery low and, even in this case, onlydo so for less than thirty seconds.

Do not install heat shields and do notremove those already fitted to the cat-alytic converter and exhaust pipe.

Do not allow anything tobe sprayed onto the cat-

alytic converter, lambda sensor andexhaust pipe.

WARNING

Ignoring the above rulesmay lead to fire.

WARNING

When functioning normal-ly the catalytic converter

reaches high temperatures. For thisreason do not park the vehicle overinflammable material (grass, dryleaves, pine needles, etc.): fire haz-ard.

TOWING A TRAILER

IMPORTANT

The vehicle must be fitted with a ho-mologated tow hitch and suitable elec-trical system for towing a caravan ortrailer. Have the tow hitch fitted by anexpert who will issue specific docu-mentation for use on roads.

Fit special wing mirrors in accor-dance with the highway code.

Remember that towing a trailermakes it harder for the vehicle toclimb the maximum gradients speci-fied, increases braking and overtakingdistance, proportionally to the overallweight of the trailer.

Engage a low gear when drivingdownhill rather than constantly brak-ing.

The weight the trailer exerts on thevehicle’s tow hitch coupling reducesthe vehicle’s payload by the sameamount.

In order to be sure you are not ex-ceeding the maximum towing weight(shown in the log book) you have totake into account the trailer weight ful-ly laden including the accessories andpersonal luggage.

Do not exceed the speed limits fortowing a trailer in the country you aredriving in. In any case, do not exceedthe top speed of 100 km/h.

TOW HITCH INSTALLATIONThe tow hitch must be fixed to the

body by an expert in accordance withthe following instructions and re-specting the additional and/or integra-tive information provided by the towhitch manufacturer.The tow hitch to be fitted must com-

ply with the current regulations inforce, with reference to Directive94/20/CEE and subsequent modifica-tions.Use a tow hitch suited for the maxi-

mum towable load of the vehicle versionon which the tow hitch is to be fitted.Use a unified coupling for the elec-

trical connections. The coupling is gen-erally fitted on a specific mount fas-tened to the tow hitch. For the electrical connections, a 7 or

13 pole 12VDC coupling must be used(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN standards).Follow the instructions provided bythe manufacturer of the vehicle and/orthe tow hitch.For the electric connections use the

proper trailer light control unit.

Under no circumstancesmodify the vehicle’s braking

system for trailer braking control.The trailer braking system must becompletely independent from thevehicle hydraulic system.

WARNING

Where your vehicle isequipped with ABS, re-

member that this has no effect overthe trailer braking system. Particu-lar care must be taken on slipperysurfaces.

WARNING

SNOW TYRES

Use snow tyres specified in the“Snow tyres” table in section “Tech-nical Specifications”.

Fiat Dealership will be happy toprovide advice concerning the mostsuitable type of tyre for the customer’srequirements.

For the type of tyre to be used, in-flation pressures and the specificationsof snow tyres, follow the instructionsgiven at paragraph “Wheels” in section“Technical Specifications”.

The winter features of these tyresare reduced considerably when thetread depth is below 4 mm. In thiscase, they should be replaced.

Due to the snow tyre features, un-der normal conditions of use or onlong motorway journeys, the perfor-mance of these tyres is lower than thatof normal tyres.

It is therefore necessary to limit theiruse to the purposes for which they arecertified.

IMPORTANT When snow tyresare used with a max. speed index be-low the one that can be reached bythe vehicle (increased by 5%), place anotice in the passenger compartment,plainly in the driver’s view which statesthe max. permissible speed of thesnow tyres (as per EC Directive).

All four tyres should be the same(brand and track) to ensure greatersafety when driving and braking andbetter driveability.

Remember that it is inappropriate tochange the direction of rotation oftyres.

The max. speed for snowtyres with “Q” marking is

160 km/h. The Road Traffic Codespeed limits must however be al-ways strictly observed.

SNOW CHAINS

The use of snow chains is regulatedby the legislation in force in the coun-try the vehicle is driven in.

The chains may only be applied tothe drive wheel tyres (front wheels).

We recommend using LineaccessoriFiat snow chains.

Check the tautness of the chains af-ter driving some twenty to thirty me-tres.

With chainsmounted keepyour speed down.

Do not exceed 50 kph. Avoidholes in the road; do not mountsteps or kerbs. Do not drive longstretches of snow-free road withthe chains mounted, as this candamage the vehicle and the roadsurface too.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

When a light is not working, checkthat it has not fused before changingthe bulb.

For the location of the fuses, refer to“If a fuse blows” in this section.

Before replacing a bulb that does notwork, check that the contacts are notoxidised.

Burnt-out bulbs must be replacedwith ones of the same type. Light frombulbs with insufficient power is dimwhile those which are too powerfuluse too much electricity. Always checkthe height of the headlight beam afterchanging a bulb.

Only touch the metalpart when handling halo-gen bulbs. If the transpar-

ent bulb is touched it reduces theintensity of the light emitted andcan also reduce the life of thebulb. If you touch the bulb acci-dentally, rub it with a clothmoistened with alcohol and leaveit to dry.

IF A BULB BURNS OUT

Modifications or repairs tothe electrical system car-

ried out incorrectly and withoutbearing the features of the systemin mind can cause malfunctionswith the risk of fire.

WARNING

You should have the bulbsreplaced at a Fiat Dealer-

ship, if possible. Correct operationand proper beam height are essen-tial for safe driving and compliancewith law requirements.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs containpressurised gas which, if

broken, may cause small fragmentsof glass to be projected outwards.

WARNING

IMPORTANT On the inside sur-face of the headlight there could ap-pear a slight coat of fogging; this doesnot show a defect, since it is a natur-al occurrence due to low temperatureand to the degree of humidity in theair; it will disappear as soon as thelights are turned on. The presence ofdrops inside the headlight shows wa-ter seepage, contact Fiat Dealership.

160 IN AN EMERGENCY

IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS

– It is important to keep calm.

– If you are not directly involved inthe accident, stop at least ten metresaway from the accident.

– If you are on a motorway, do notobstruct the emergency lane withyour vehicle.

– Turn the engine off and the haz-ard lights on.

– At night, illuminate the scene of theaccident with your headlights.

– Act carefully, you must not risk be-ing run over.

– Mark the accident by putting thered triangle at the regulatory distancefrom the vehicle where it can be clear-ly see.

– If the doors are blocked, do not at-tempt to smash the windscreen to getout of the vehicle. It is made of layeredglass and is very hard. Side and rearwindows are much more easily bro-ken.

VEHICLE WITH AUTOMATICGEARBOX

If towing is not due to gearbox faults,proceed as follows:

– gearshift lever to N;

– do not exceed 50 km/h;

– the vehicle should not be towedfor more than 200 km.

If towing is due to gearbox faults orthe vehicle should be towed for morethan 200 km, tow the vehicle raisingthe front wheels from the ground.

– Call for rescue making the infor-mation you give as accurate as youcan.On the motorway use the specialcolumn-mounted emergency phones.

– In pile-ups on the motorway, par-ticularly when the visibility is bad,there is a high risk of other vehiclesrunning into those alreadystopped.Get out of the vehicle imme-diately and take refuge behind theguard rail.

– Remove the ignition keys from thevehicles involved.

– If you can smell petrol or otherchemicals, do not smoke and makesure all cigarettes are extinguished.

– Use a fire extinguisher, blanket, sandor earth to put out fires no matter howsmall they are. Never use water.

When towing the vehicleyou must comply with the

specific traffic regulations regard-ing the tow hitch and how to towon the road.

SCHEDULEDSERVICING

Correct maintenance of the vehicleis essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition for a long time to come.This is why Fiat has programmed anumber of service checks and opera-tions carried out every 30,000 kilo-metres.

It is however important to remem-ber that "Scheduled Servicing" is notall your vehicle requires. Regularchecks - also in the initial period be-fore the 30,000 kilometre coupon andlater between coupons - ordinary careis required, such as checking fluid lev-els and topping up, checking tyre in-flation pressure, checking cleanness ofbonnet and boot locks, cleaning andlubricating levers, etc...

If it is seen that further replacementsor repairs are necessary in addition tothe work being carried out, these willonly be done after the customer hasgiven his/her consent.

IMPORTANT You are recom-mended to get in touch with a FiatDealership immediately if any smallrunning problems crop up withoutwaiting for the next coupon.

If the vehicle is fre-quently used to tow trail-ers, carry out the sched-

uled service operations more fre-quently than shown.

IMPORTANT The Manufacturerrequires the Service Schedule couponrelated checks to be carried out. Fail-ure to do so could result in the war-ranty being cancelled for those defectsthat can be attributed to such failure.

Scheduled Servicing is performed atall Fiat Dealerships and there is a settime scale for such operations.

166 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT - Pollen filter

If the vehicle is often used in dustyor extremely polluted environments,you should change the filter elementmore frequently. It should be changedespecially if the amount of air intro-duced into the passenger compart-ment has decreased.

IMPORTANT - Diesel filter

Refuelling with diesel fuel not com-plying with the grade of purity pre-scribed by European SpecificationEN590 might make it necessary to re-place the filter more frequently thanindicated in the Service Schedule.

IMPORTANT - Battery

The charge in your battery should bechecked, where possible at the startof the winter, to limit the risk of thebattery electrolyte freezing.

This check should be carried outmore frequently if the vehicle is mainlyused for short trips or if it is fittedwith accessories that permanentlytake in electricity even when the igni-tion key is removed, especially in thecase of after market accessories.

You should check the battery fluid(electrolyte) level more frequentlythan shown in the Service Schedule ifthe vehicle is used in hot climates orparticularly demanding conditions.

IMPORTANT As concerns Camp-ing Car versions, due to high electricabsorption, observe indications rele-vant to battery contained in para-graphs "Vehicle storage" (section"Getting the best out of your vehicle")and "Battery – Checking the charge"(section "Vehicle maintenance").

Maintenance of your ve-hicle should be entrustedto a Fiat Dealership. For

ordinary routine maintenanceoperations which you are able tocarry out yourself, ensure thatyou have the necessary tools andoriginal Fiat spare parts and flu-ids available. Do not carry outservicing operations if you haveno experience.

IMPORTANT - Engine oil

Change the engine oil more fre-quently than shown in the ServiceSchedule if the vehicle is normally dri-ven in one of the following particular-ly severe conditions:

– towing a trailer

– on dusty roads

– short distances (less than 7-8 km)repeated and with external tempera-tures below zero.

– frequently idling engines or longdistance low speed driving (e. g. taxisor door-to-door deliveries) or in caseof a long term inactivity replace engineoil more frequently than required onScheduled Maintenance Plan.

IMPORTANT - Air cleaner

Replace the air cleaner more fre-quently if the vehicle is used on dustyroads.

If you are in doubt about how oftenthe engine oil or the air cleaner shouldbe changed in relation to how you usethe vehicle, contact a Fiat Dealer-ship.

WHEELS ANDTYRES

Check the pressure of each tyre, in-cluding the spare, every two weeksand before long journeys.

The pressure must be checked whenthe tyre is rested and cold.

It is normal for pressure to risewhen you are driving. If you have tocheck or restore the pressure whenthe tyres are warm, remember thatthe pressure value must be 0.3 barabove the specified value.

See “Wheels” in “Technical specifi-cations” chapter for the correct tyreinflation pressure.

Wrong pressure causes unevenwear of the tyres fig. 17:

A - correct pressure: tyre wearsevenly

B - under-inflated tyre: shouldertread wear

C - over-inflated tyre: centre treadwear.

IMPORTANT As far as possibleavoid sharp braking and screech starts.

Be careful not to hit the kerb, pot-holes or other obstacles. Driving forlong stretches over bumpy roads candamage the tyres.

Periodically check that the tyres haveno cuts in the side wall, abnormalswelling or irregular tyre wear. If anyof these occur, have the vehicle seento at a Fiat Dealership.

Avoid overloading your vehicle: thiscan seriously damage wheels or tyres.

If you get a flat tyre, stop immedi-ately and change it so as not to dam-age the tyre, the wheel, the suspen-sion and the steering.

fig. 17F0

27m

If the pressure is too low,the tyre overheats and this

can cause it serious damage.

WARNING

Tyre pressure must be cor-rect to ensure good road

holding.

WARNING

Tyres must be replaced when thetread wears down to 1.6 mm. In anycase, comply with the laws in the coun-try where the vehicle is being driven.

Page 180: Ducato Manual

179VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

Tyres age even if they are not usedvery much. Cracking of the tread rub-ber and the side walls are a sign of thisageing. In any case, if the tyres havebeen fitted for more than six yearsthey should be examined by an expertwho can judge whether they are stillfit for use. Remember to check thespare tyre particularly carefully too.

If a replacement is necessary, alwaysuse new tyres and avoid using onesthe origin of which you are not cer-tain about.

The Ducato uses tubeless tyres. Un-der no circumstances use an innertube with these tyres.

If you replace a tyre it is a good ideato change the inflation valve, too.

To ensure the front and rear tyres allwear evenly, you are advised to changethe tyres over every 10 - 15 thousandkilometres keeping them on the sameside of the vehicle so as not to reversethe direction of rotation.

RUBBER TUBING

Follow the Service Schedule carefullyin the case of braking and fuel supplysystem rubber tubing.

Ozone, high temperatures and longabsence of fluid in the system can infact cause the hardening and crackingof the pipes with possible loss of fluid.A careful check is therefore essential.Do not change the tyres

over in criss-cross fashionby moving a tyre from the left-handside of the vehicle to the right andvice versa.

WARNING

Never submit alloy rims torepainting treatments re-

quiring to use temperatures ex-ceeding 150°C since the mechani-cal properties of the wheels couldbe impaired.

WINDSCREENWIPER

BLADES

Periodically clean the rubber partwith suitable products. We recom-mend TUTELA PROFESSIONALSC35.

Change the blades if the rubber edgeis warped or worn out. You should inany case change them approximatelyonce a year.

Changing the windscreen wiper blade

1) Lift windscreen wiper arm A-fig. 18 off the glass and position theblade so as to form a right angle withthe arm.

2) Press tab B on the retainer andremove the blade to be replaced fromarm A .

3) Fit the new blade by inserting thetab into the special slot in the arm.Make sure it is properly locked intoplace.

m

Some simple steps can reduce po-tential damage to the blades:

– if the temperature falls to belowzero, make sure the rubber blade isnot frozen to the windscreen. If nec-essary, free it with a de-icing com-pound;

– remove any snow that has settledon the glass: besides saving the bladesyou will avoid straining the electricwindscreen wiper motor and causingit to overheat;

– do not operate the windscreen orrear window wipers on dry glass.

Travelling with worn wiperblades is dangerous be-

cause it reduces visibility in badweather.

SPRAY NOZZLES

Windscreen washer

If there is no jet of liquid, first makesure that there is liquid in the reser-voir: see “Checking fluid levels” in thissection. Then make sure that theholes in the nozzles are not cloggedup fig. 19. Use a pin to open the noz-zles if necessary. The windscreen jetsare directed by adjusting the inclina-tion of nozzles. Direct the spray sothat it reaches the highest pointreached by the brushes.

Headlight washer

If there is no jet of liquid, first makesure that there is liquid in the reser-voir. Then make sure that the holesin the nozzles fig. 20 are not cloggedup. Use a pin to open the nozzles ifnecessary.

BODYWORK

PROTECTING THE VEHICLEFROM ATMOSPHERICAGENTS

The main causes of rust are:

– atmospheric pollution;

– salt and humidity in the atmos-phere (coastal or very hot and humidareas);

– environmental conditions that arespecific to the season.

In addition, the abrasiveness of dustin the atmosphere and sand carried bythe wind as well as mud and stoneskicked up by other vehicles must notbe underestimated.

For your vehicle, Fiat has used lead-ing-edge technological solutions to ef-fectively protect the body from rust.

These are the most important:

– painting systems and products thatmake the vehicle particularly resistantto rust and scratching;

fig. 20F0

D01

fig. 19

F0D

0125

Page 183: Ducato Manual

182 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

– the use of zinc-plated sheet steelwhich is highly resistant to rust;

– the spraying of the underbody, en-gine compartment, inside the wheel-houses and other parts with wax-based products with a high protectivecapacity;

– spraying plastic-coating materialsto protect the most exposed points:under the door, inside the wings, theedges, etc.;

– the use of “open” box sections toprevent condensation and water frombuilding up and rusting the inside ofthe parts.

BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY

Your Ducato is covered by warrantyagainst any original structural or bodypart being perforated by rust. Refer tothe Warranty Booklet for the generalterms.

TIPS FOR KEEPING THE BODYIN GOOD CONDITIONS

Paintwork

The paintwork is not only to makeyour vehicle look attractive but alsoto protect the steel.

If the paint is scuffed or scratcheddeeply you are therefore advised totouch up as necessary to prevent rustfrom forming.

Only use genuine products whentouching up the paintwork (see sec-tion “Technical Specifications”).

Ordinary maintenance of the paint-work means washing it. The frequencyyou should do this depends on theconditions and the environment thevehicle is driven in.

For example:

– areas with a high level of air-pollu-tion;

– roads sprinkled with road saltwash;

– parking under trees which dropresin. In these cases, wash your vehi-cle more frequently.

To wash the vehicle properly:

1) wash the body using a low pres-sure jet of water;

2) wipe a sponge with a slightlysoapy solution over the bodywork,frequently rinsing the sponge;

3) rinse well with water and drywith a jet of air or a chamois leather.

When drying the vehicle, be carefulto get at those parts which are not soeasily seen, e.g. the door frames, bon-net and around the headlights wherewater can most readily collect. Youshould leave the vehicle out in theopen so that any water remaining canevaporate more easily.

Page 184: Ducato Manual

183VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

Do not wash the vehicle after it hasbeen parked in the sun or while thebonnet is hot: it could take the shineoff the paint.

Outside plastic parts must becleaned following the usual vehiclewashing procedure.

Where possible avoid parking thevehicle under trees; the resinous sub-stances that certain species of treeshed dull the paintwork and increasethe possibility of rust forming.

To better protect the paintwork,polish with protective wax from timeto time, that leaves a protective layeron the paintwork.

When the paintwork tends to loseits shine because of the build-up ofsmog, use a wax (polish) which has aslightly abrasive as well as protectiveaction.

Front headlights

IMPORTANT Never use aromat-ic substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones(e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front head-light plastic lens.

Windows

Use specific window cleaners toclean the windows. Use very cleancloths to avoid scratching the glass ordamaging its transparency.

IMPORTANT To prevent damageto the electric heater element, wipethe inside of the heated rear window(where fitted) gently in the same di-rection as the elements.

Engine compartment

At the end of each winter season,carefully clean the engine compart-ment. Have this done at a garage.

IMPORTANT The engine com-partment should be washed while theengine is cold and with the ignition keyat STOP. After washing, make surethat the various protections (e.g. rub-ber boots and various guards) havenot be removed or damaged.

Detergents pollute wa-ter. For this reason, thevehicle must be washed

in an area equipped for the col-lection and purification of the liq-uids used while washing.

IMPORTANT Bird droppingsmust be washed off immediately andwith great care as their acid is partic-ularly aggressive.

Detergents pollute wa-ter. The vehicle musttherefore be washed in an

area equipped for the collectionand purification of the liquidsused while washing.

Page 185: Ducato Manual

184 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

INTERIORS

From time to time check that waterhas not collected under the mats(from dripping shoes, umbrellas, etc.)which could cause the steel to rust.

CLEANING SEATS AND FABRICS

Remove dust with a soft brush andvacuum cleaner. For velvet seats usea damp brush.

Brush the seats with a damp spongewith water and neutral soap.

PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE

Clean plastic parts with damp clothwith water and non-abrasive neutralsoap. To remove grease or hardstains, use special solvent-free prod-ucts designed not to alter the appear-ance and colour of components.

IMPORTANT Do not use alcoholor petrol to clean the instrumentpanel.

Never use flammable prod-ucts (petroleum ether or

petrol) to clean the inside of the ve-hicle. Electrostatic charges gener-ated by rubbing while cleaningcould cause fires.

WARNING

Do not keep aerosol cans inthe vehicle. There is the risk

they might explode. Aerosol cansmust never be exposed to a tem-perature above 50°C; when theweather starts to get hot the tem-perature inside the vehicle might gowell beyond that figure.

FUEL SUPPLY/IGNITION

Petrol version

Electronic Multipoint sequentialphased integrated electronic injectionand ignition; a single injection systemcontrols both functions. It processesboth the time the injection lasts (forfuel metering) and the ignition advanceangle.

FUEL SUPPLY

JTD/JTD POWER versions

UNIJET (Common Rail) electroniccontrol direct injection, turbosuper-charger with WASTEGATE valve andintercooler (2.3 JTD, 2.8 JTD and 2.8JTD POWER versions).

SPARK PLUGS

The cleanness and soundness of thespark plugs are very important forkeeping the engine efficient and pol-luting emissions down.

The appearance of the spark plug, ifexamined by an expert eyes, is a goodway of pinpointing a problem even if ithas nothing to do with the ignition sys-tem. Therefore, if the engine has prob-lems, it is important to have the sparkplugs checked at a Fiat Dealership.

The spark plugs must bechanged at the timesspecified in the SERVICE

SCHEDULE. Only use the type ofplugs indicated: if the heat ratiois less than required or the lifespecified is not guaranteed, prob-lems can arise.

Modifications or repairs tothe fuel feed system that

are not carried out properly or donot take the system’s technicalspecifications into account cancause malfunctions leading to therisk of fire.

BRAKES

SERVICE AND EMERGENCYBRAKES Front: disc, floating caliper with two

operating cylinders for each wheel andpad wear warning light.Rear: self-centring shoes and micro-

metric mechanism for clearance take-up.Certain versions are fitted with rear

disc brakes with Drum in hat device(i.e. drum on disc to block the vehiclewhen parked with handbrake en-gaged). Cross-over hydraulic circuit control.

Four sensors ABS system with EBD.

Automatic recovery of the frictiongasket wear; versions with rear discbrake excluded (Drum in hat ver-sions).

Lacking ABS system brakeforce dis-tributor acting on rear brake hydrauliccircuit according to rear axle load.

HANDBRAKE

Controlled by a lever, it works me-chanically on the rear brake shoes.

For versions with rear disc brakes,the handbrake works on the Drum inhat device shoes.

IMPORTANT Pull the handbrakelever only when the vehicle is at astandstill, or when the vehicle is run-ning, but however only in case of afailure of the hydraulic system.

Should the handbrake be exception-ally used when the vehicle is running,it is suggested to keep a moderatetraction to avoid causing the rear axleblock, entailing vehicle side skidding.

TRANSMISSION

CLUTCH

Hydraulically controlled withouttravel-free pedal.

MECHANICAL GEARBOXAND DIFFERENTIAL

Five forward gears and reverse withsynchromesh for front gear engage-ment.

Cyclical gear reduction and differen-tial assembly incorporated in the gear-box.

Drive transmission to the frontwheels by means of drive shafts con-nected to the differential assembly andthe wheels with CV joints.

Water, ice or salt on roadsurfaces can deposit on

brake discs, reducing braking effi-ciency on the first braking.

FUEL CONSUMPTION - CO2 EMISSIONS

RUNNING AND USE CONDITIONS AFFECTING FUEL CONSUMPTION(examples and differences with respect to goods transportation vehicle data)

IMPORTANT

Although fuel consumption mea-surements procedure aim at definingrealistic values, fuel consumption is in-fluenced by factors such as:

Driving style and vehicle use highspeed, frequent acceleration, frequentgear shifting, door-to-door deliveries,etc.

Just for passenger transportationversions with 2.3 and 2.8 JTD engines,reduced consumption can be obtainedby starting (on level road) in 2nd gearinstead of 1st gear.

Traffic and road conditionsqueues, bending roads, steep roads,bad road surface, etc.

Weather conditions and tem-peratures low temperatures, thinner air, wind,rain etc…;

Vehicle conditionsPoor maintenance (tyre pressure, fil-ters, spark plugs, etc.), damaged body-work

Load conditions Heavy weights, not optimal load dis-tribution, large weights on roof rack,etc.

Use of electric devices Climate control, heater and electricdevices in general

Special conditions of useSpecial vehicle conditions of use: roofrack, trailer, open side windows, typeof tyres, etc.

Special trim and adaptations caravan, motor home, mega box, can-vas cover, etc.

Some of these conditions are illus-trated in these figures on the nextpages.

For more information, refer to theadvice in the chapter “Cheap runningthat respects the environment.

The fuel consumption values shownin the table in following pages were de-fined according to the type-approvalspecifications in European Directives.

Consumption values are defined bymeans of the following procedures:

– an urban cycle: consisting of acold start and a simulated drive in citystreets;

– an extra-urban cycle: consistingin frequent accelerations, in all gears,

Page 245: Ducato Manual

244 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

simulating normal conditions of use.Speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h;

– average combined cycle con-sisting of 37% urban cycle and 63% ex-tra-urban cycle.

IMPORTANT Road and trafficconditions, weather, general con-ditions of the vehicle, driving

style, fittings and accessories, useof the climate control system,load, roof racks and other situa-tions penalising aerodynamicpenetration and effecting rollingresistance will influence fuel con-sumption rates which can be dif-ferent from the values shown in

the table (see “Cheap runningthat respects the environment”in “Driving your car” chapter).
