SPEEDOMETER fig. 12
It shows the engine speed.REV COUNTER fig. 13
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is “over-revving”
resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow-
er.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal and takes place for exam-
ple when activating the climate control
system or the fan. In these events a slight
increase in engine idling preserves the bat-
tery charge.

paragraph “At the filling station").
The warning light Aturns on to indicate
that approximately 10/12 litres (according
to versions) of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: the gaps in fuel delivery could dam-
age the catalyst.
IMPORTANT The needle sets to Ewith
warning light Aflashing to indicate that the
system is failing. In this event contact Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.
IMPORTANT Do not turn the supple-
mentary heater (Webasto) on, under fu-
el reserve conditions.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE fig. 15
This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.

scale according to the working conditions.
CLow engine coolant temperature.
HHigh engine coolant temperature.The turning on of the warning light B(on
certain versions with a message on the
multifunction display) indicates that the
coolant fluid temperature is too high; in
this case, stop the engine and contact a Fi-
at Dealership.

SELF-STANDING
SUPPLEMENTARY
HEATER
(where provided)
Fiat Ducato can be equipped, upon re-
quest, with two different self-standing
heaters: one is totally automatic whereas
the other is programmable.
AUTOMATIC VERSION
The supplementary heater will activate au-
tomatically with engine turned on and
proper engine coolant and outside tem-
perature conditions. Deactivation is always
automatic.
IMPORTANT During periods of low tem-
perature when the device is activated,
check that the fuel level is higher than the
reserve. Otherwise the device could lock
and require the assistance of the Fiat
Dealership.PROGRAMMABLE VERSION
The supplementary heater is totally inde-
pendent from the engine and can be used
to:
❒heat the passenger compartment
when the engine is off;
❒defrost the windows;
❒heat the engine coolant and conse-
quently the engine before starting.The system consists of:
❒diesel burner to heat coolant with ex-
haust fume muffler;
❒metering pump connected to the ve-
hicle fuel pipes to feed the burner;
❒heat exchanger connected to the en-
gine cooling system pipes;
The heater burns fuel in the
same way as the engine,
though, of course, to a lesser degree
and therefore to avoid intoxication
and suffocation, never use the sup-
plementary heater in closed areas,
garages or workshops not equipped
with specific exhaust evacuation de-
vices even for short periods of time.

❒Always remember to turn the heater
off when refuelling or standing in ser-
vice stations to avoid fires and explo-
sions.
❒Do not park the vehicle over inflam-
mable material such as paper, dry grass
or leaves: fire risk!
❒The temperature near the heater must
never exceed 120°C (e.g. during paint-
ing operations in a workshop oven).
Higher temperatures could damage
the electronic control unit compo-
nents.
❒When the engine is off, the heater takes
power from the battery: it is conse-
quently important to run the engine for
a certain period of time in order to re-
store the battery charge.
❒Follow the prescriptions in section
“Vehicle maintenance” at paragraph
“Engine coolant level” to check the
coolant level. The coolant in the cir-
cuit must contain at least 10% an-
tifreeze fluid.
❒Maintenance and repairs must always
be carried out by a Fiat Dealership and
only genuine spare parts must be used.
MAINTENANCE
Have the heater checked at a Fiat Deal-
ership periodically (always before winter).
This will ensure safe and cheap running
and long appliance life.
The heater burns fuel in the
same way as the engine,
though, of course, to a lesser degree
and therefore to avoid intoxication
and suffocation, never use the sup-
plementary heater in closed areas,
garages or workshops not equipped
with specific exhaust evacuation de-
vices even for short periods of time.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The parking heater goes off
when the battery voltage is low to enable
the vehicle to be started up.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the de-
vice, ensure that the fuel level is higher
than the reserve. Otherwise the device
could lock and require the assistance of
the Fiat Dealership.

FUEL RESERVE
(amber)
Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light turns on, but it
should go off after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when about
10/12 litres fuel (according to versions) are
left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light flashes to
indicate a failure, contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system
checked. INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE
(amber)
Under normal conditions, turning
the ignition key to MAR, the warning light
turns on but it should go off after engine
starting.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, means a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause high
emissions at the exhaust, possible lack of
performance, poor handling and high con-
sumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated message
is displayed.
In these conditions it is possible to con-
tinue driving without however requiring
heavy effort or high speed from the en-
gine. In any case, contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
U
INEFFICIENT ABS
SYSTEM (amber)
Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light turns on, but it
should go off after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the sys-
tem is inefficient or unavailable. In this case
the braking system keeps its effectiveness
unchanged, but without the potential of-
fered by the ABS system. Caution is ad-
visable and it is necessary to contact Fiat
Dealership.
On certain versions the dedicated message
is displayed.

FRONT PASSENGER’S
AIR BAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber)
(where provided)
Warning light Fcomes on when front
passenger’s air bag is deactivated.
With front passenger’s air bag on, turn-
ing the ignition key to MAR, warning light
Fcomes on steadily for about 4 sec-
onds, it flashes for other 4 seconds and
then it shall go off.
Warning light Findicates
also warning light ¬failures.
This is indicated by intermittent flash-
ing, over 4 seconds, of warning light
F. In this event warning light ¬
indicates that there could be a failure
in safety systems. Contact Fiat Deal-
ership immediately to have the sys-
tem checked.
