Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat Ducato. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the
features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way. You should read it right through before taking to the road for the first time.
You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the use of your vehicle to help you get the most from the technological features
of your Fiat Ducato. It also provides a description of special features and essential information for the care and maintenance of your vehicle
over time as well as for safe driving.
We urge you to read the warnings and indications found throughout the text with care, marked with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle integrity;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are reported at the end of each paragraph and are followed by a number. That number recalls the
corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty Certificate and
the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at Fiat.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Ducato versions. As a consequence, you should only consider the information
which is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. All data contained in this publication are
purely indicative. FCA Italy S.p.A. can modify the specifications of the vehicle model described in this publication at any
time, for technical or marketing purposes. For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership.

Operation duration

Hold the button pressed. At the same
time press button 3 or 8.
The time and warning light 7 are
displayed.
Hold button 4 pressed again. At the
same time press button 3 or 8.
The preset activation duration is
displayed and warning light 9 or 2
flashes.
Set the activation duration with button

The set activation duration is stored as
soon as the text in the display
disappears, or pressing button 4.Switching the heating
system off
Deactivation of the system, depending
on the type of activation (automatic
or manual), may be:
❒automaticwhen the programmed
duration is over; when the set time
is over, the display switches off.
❒manualpressing the “immediate
heating” button on the timer again
(flame button 6).
In both cases, the heating warning light,
the display lighting and the passenger
compartment heater fan go off and
burning stops.
The fluid circulation pump continues to
work for around two minutes to
dissipate as much heat as possible; the
heater can be turned back on during
this stage.
22)
IMPORTANT The parking heater goes
off when battery voltage is low to allow
the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level is
above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require
the assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components
may be damaged at higher
temperatures.
❒Whilst the heater is operating with the
engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running
for a while to make sure that the
battery is properly recharged.

The tyre pressure also increases while
driving the vehicle: this is a normal
condition and does not require any
adjustment of the pressure.
The TPMS continues to advise the
driver of the low tyre pressure condition
until this is corrected; the warning
continues until the pressure
corresponds or exceeds the pressure
prescribed for the cold tyres. When the
tyre low pressure control warning
light
switches on constantly, the
inflation pressure must be adjusted until
it reaches the pressure prescribed for
cold tyres. After the automatic update
of the system, the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
NOTE
❒The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
❒Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while
adjusting the tyre inflation pressure.❒Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance
of the vehicle.
❒The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to
the driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with a
suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not
cause the tyre pressure control
warning light to switch on.
❒The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal
pressure loss of the tyre.
❒The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.WARNING Monitoring and maintaining
the correct pressure in all four tyres
are particularly important.
Tyre pressure
monitoring system low
pressure warnings
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the warning light
on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).
In this case, stop the vehicle as soon as
possible, check the inflation pressure
of each tyre and inflate to the cold tyre
pressure value prescribed for the
vehicle. The system will automatically
update and after receiving the tyre
pressure update the tyre pressure
control warning light switches off. You
may need to drive the vehicle for about
20 minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the system to receive this
information.

prevent any problems that could
impair vehicle safety.
ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to
install electrical accessories that require
a permanent electric supply (alarm,
satellite antitheft system, etc.) or
accessories that in any case burden the
electric supply, contact a Fiat
Dealership, whose qualified personnel,
besides suggesting the most suitable
devices from Lineaccessori Fiat, will
also evaluate the overall electric
consumption, checking whether the
car's electrical system is able to
withstand the load required, or whether
it needs to be integrated with a more
powerful battery.
91)
INSTALLING
ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices
installed after buying the car in the
context of after-sales service must carry
the following label: fig. 138.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the
installation of transceivers provided that
installation is carried out at a
specialised centre, in a workmanlike
fashion and in compliance with
manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road if devices
have been installed which modify the
features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to
faults caused by the change either
directly or indirectly related to it.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
GAUGE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication
of the level of oil in the engine.
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the display fig. 147 - fig. 148
shows the oil level by lighting up /
switching off five symbols.The gradual switching off of the
symbols indicates a decreasing oil level.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate
a sufficient level of oil in the sump. If
the fifth symbol is not lit, this does not
indicate a fault or that insufficient oil
is present in the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum
required value, the display shows a
dedicated message indicating minimum
engine oil level and the need for a
top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil
quantity, always check using the
dipstick (see paragraph “Checking
levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display
indicating the amount of engine oil
disappears and:
❒When the next scheduled servicing
intervention is approaching, the
time to the next service is displayed
and the õ symbol lights up on the
display. When the service date is
reached, the display shows a
dedicated message;❒Later on, if the time for changing the
engine oil is getting close, the
distance until the next oil change will
appear on the display. When the
service interval has expired a
dedicated warning will be shown on
the display.

20) If the needle for the engine
coolant temperature reaches the
red area, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
