It is however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate con-
trol system is off.
With low outdoor temperatures, recir-
culation is turned off (with air intake from
outside) to prevent possible misting.
It is inadvisable to use the inside air re-
circulation function with low outside tem-
perature as windows may mist over quick-
ly.Climate control
compressor on/off
button (F)
Press pushbutton √to
turn off the climate control system
compressor if it was on previously and
the logo on the display is turned off.
When the pushbutton is pressed with
the led off, control of compressor
activation is restored to automatic
control by the system. This condition is
indicated by the logo lighting up on the
display.
When turning the compressor off, the sys-
tem will deactivate air recirculation to pre-
vent window misting up. Although the sys-
tem is able to keep the required tempera-
ture, the wording FULL will disappear from
the display. If the system is no longer able
to keep the required temperature, tem-
perature figures will flash and the wording
AUTO will disappear from the display.IMPORTANT With the climate control
compressor off, it is not possible to admit
air to the passenger compartment with a
temperature below the outside tempera-
ture; moreover, under certain environ-
mental conditions, windows could mist up
fastly since air is not dehumidified.
The switching off of the climate control
compressor remains in storage even when
the engine has been stopped.
To restore automatic control for switch-
ing on the climate control compressor,
press again button √(in this event the sys-
tem will just work as heater) or press but-
ton AUTO.

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.

In cold weather, the supplementary heater
warms and circulates constant tempera-
ture fluid in the engine cooling system for
the time required to ensure optimal en-
gine ignition and passenger compartment
temperature conditions.
The heater can be started automatically
(programmed by means of the digital
timer) or manually by pressing the “heat
now” button on the timer.
When the heater is turned on (automat-
ically or manually), the electronic control
unit operates the fluid circulation pump
and safely ignites the burner according to
preset and controlled modes.

heater/ventilation unit for automatic
operation;

❒digital timer A-fig. 54to start the
heater manually or to program staring
time.The electronic control unit also controls
the circulation pump delivery in order to
reduce initial heating time. When the sys-
tem is operating, the control unit operates
the heater unit fan to the second speed.
Thermal power is adjusted automatically
by the control unit according to the en-
gine coolant temperature.

IMPORTANT The heater is equipped with
a thermal switch which cuts off the heater
in the event of overheating caused by low
or leaking coolant. In this case, press the
program selection button to start the
heater again after repairing the cooling sys-
tem fault and/or topping up the fluid.
The heater can turn itself off after engine
ignition or if the flame goes out. In this
case, turn the heater off manually and at-
tempt to turn it back on again. If you can-
not turn the heater on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.Turning the heater on
If an automatic climate control system is
fitted, the control unit sets air tempera-
ture and distribution when the parking
heater is turned on.
When a manual heater/climate control
system is fitted, to achieve peak heater
performance, check that the passenger
compartment heater/ventilation unit air
temperature knob is in “warm air” posi-
tion.
For preferential passenger compartment
preheating, turn the air distribution knob
to position

For preferential windscreen demisting, set
the air distribution knob to position
