DUPLICATE KEYS
When additional keys are required,
go to your Fiat Dealership, taking all
the keys in your possession and the
CODE card with you. The Fiat Deal-
ershipwill store the old and new keys
(up to eight) in the system. The Fiat
Dealershipmay ask you to demon-
strate that you own the vehicle.
The codes of any keys that are not
available when the new storage pro-
cedure is carried out will be deleted
from the memory to prevent any lost
or stolen keys being used to start the
engine.
All the keys and the CODE card
must be handed over to the new own-
er when selling the vehicle.DOOR LOCK
REMOTE CONTROL
The radio-frequency remote control
is built into the ignition key.
The key fig. 6includes the following:
– a metal insert Athat can be en-
closed in the key grip
– a button Efor power-assisted
opening of the metal insert
– a button Cfor remote door un-
locking and electronic alarm deactiva-
tion (where provided) at the same
time, and timed switching on of the in-
ternal ceiling lights;
– a button Dfor remote door lock-
ing and electronic alarm activation
(where provided) at the same time,
and switching off of the internal ceiling
lights;
– led Bindicating control sending to
electronic alarm system receiver. If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, perform the emergency start-up
procedure (see “In an emergency”)
and call your Fiat Dealership.
When the vehicle is travelling and the
key is at MAR:
1)If the Ywarning light comes on
while the vehicle is moving, this means
that the system is running a self-test
(e.g. due to a voltage drop).
2)If the Ywarning light flashes, the
vehicle is not protected by the engine
immobiliser. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
shipimmediately and get them to
store the codes of all the keys in the
memory.
IMPORTANTThe electronic com-
ponents inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is subjected to sharp
knocks.

with the vehicle has its own code, dif-
ferent from all the others, which must
be stored in the memory of the sys-
tem control unit.

IMPORTANTThe remote control
system frequency can be disturbed by
significant radio transmissions outside
the car (e.g: mobile phones, HAM ra-
dio systems, etc.) that could cause re-
mote control malfunctioning.

OPERATION
The electronic alarm fitted on the Fi-
at Ducato is controlled by the receiv-
er located on the front ceiling light and
is 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 on
when the ignition key is removed from
STOPor PARKposition.
The electronic alarm control unit in-
cludes also the alarm siren that can be
cut out.
To switch the electronic alarm
on: press button D-fig. 6 on the re-
mote control briefly. You will hear a
beep and the direction indicators will
flash for approximately three seconds
(only in countries where this is al-
lowed).
Led A-fig. 9, set on the right side of
the steering column, will blink when
the system is on.To switch the electronic alarm
off: press the remote control button
C-fig. 6. You will hear two beeps and
the 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 before
switching the electronic alarm on. Pro-
ceed as follows: take the key in rapid
sequence from STOP to MAR and
then back to STOP. Then remove the
key.Led Awill light up for approximate-
ly two seconds to confirm that the
function has been cut out.
The volumetric surveillance function
will be restored (before switching the
electronic alarm on) after the key has
been turned to MARfor at least 30
seconds.
To operate an electrical device pow-
ered by the ignition key (e.g.: electric
windows), turn the key to MAR, op-
erate the control and turn the key
back to STOP within 30 seconds. In
this way the volumetric surveillance
function will not be reactivated.

ing the electronic alarm on, keep con-
trol button Cpressed for over 4 sec-
onds and then release it.

14GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Do not leave the key inserted in the
switch. Cover the keyhole with the
rubber cap to prevent dust and wa-
ter getting in.
Emergency keys should be left in the
car coupled with the switch.
HOW TO KNOW IF THE
ALARM HAS GONE OFF
After deactivating the system, led A-
fig. 9will indicate the theft attempt
specifying also the cause of the alarm:
fixed light:remote control bat-
tery down
1 blink:right-hand door
2 blinks:left-hand door
5 blinks:volumetric sensors
(indicate a movement
inside the passenger’s
compartment)
6 blinks:bonnet To cut off the alarm before this,
press the remote control button; if
this 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 run
down, or the car alarm system is
faulty, the electronic alarm can be cut
out by using one of the two emer-
gency keys supplied set on the system
deactivation control unit (that is
housed in the fuse box on the right
side of the dashboard).
To do this, open the fuse box, take
off the switch rubber cap, insert the
key and turn it counterclockwise
(OFFposition); the system is now de-
activated.
To turn the system back on, turn the
key clockwise (ONposition).7 blinks:load
compartment
8 blinks:tampering with
ignition switch
9 blinks:alarm wires cut
10 blinks:at least three causes
of alarm.
The led goes off when turning the
key to MAR or after about 2 minutes
blinking.
Since the electronic car
alarm 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 BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
chest straight and rested against the
seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, take hold the
fastener tongue A-fig. 10and insert
it into the buckle B, until hearing the
locking click.The seat belt reel mechanism en-
sures that the belt automatically ad-
justs to the wearer allowing him or
her to move in complete freedom.
When the vehicle is parked on a
steep slope the reel mechanism may
block; 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 or
when cornering at high speed.
fig. 10
F0D0050m
Never press button C when
travelling.
WARNING
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for
a short stretch, then pull it out again
without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press but-
ton C. Guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent
it from twisting.

17GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
For rear central bench seat,
lap belt without retractor
(Combi versions)
To fasten the seat belt: insert the
fastener tongue A-fig. 14into the
buckle Buntil hearing the locking
click.
Side seats are fitted with seat belts
with three anchor points.
To unfasten the seat belts: press
button C.
To adjust the seat belt: slide the web-
bing through adjuster D, pulling end E
to shorten it and length F to length-
en it.
IMPORTANT The belt is adjust-
ed properly when it fits closely across
the hips.
fig. 14
F0D 0002m
Remember that in the case
of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat
belts also represent a serious dan-
ger to the passengers in the front
(Panorama, Combi and CrewCab
versions).
WARNING
For rear central bench seat,
seat belt with retractor
(Combi versions)
Rear bech seat is fitted with three
point belt and retractor for central
seat.
fig. 15
F0D0291m
Belt use is shown in fig. 15
fig. 15a
F0D0298m
The rear central seat belt
safety action is only guar-
anteed when the bench seat back-
rest is tilted backwards completely
(see figure 15a).
WARNING

Always adjust the height of the seat
belt to fit the person wearing it. This
could greatly reduce the risk of injury
in the case of collision.
The belt is adjusted properly when
the webbing passes approximately
halfway between the edge of the
shoulder and the neck.
5 different adjustments in height are
provided.PRETENSIONERS
Ducato vehicles fitted with airbags
are also fitted with pretensioners to
improve protection.
These devices “feel” that a violent
collision is in progress via a sensor and
pull back a few inches of webbing. In
this way the pretensioners ensure that
the belt is adhering perfectly to the
body before the belt begins to hold
back the wearer.
When the pretensioner has been
triggered the retractor will lock. The
seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.
After you have made the
adjustment, always make
sure that the loop is attached firm-
ly in one of the preset positions. To
do this, with the button released,
exert a further pressure to allow
the anchoring device to catch if re-
lease did not take place at one of
the preset positions.
