tow FIAT DUCATO 2010 Owner handbook (in English)

IMPORTANT The engine lock function is guaranteed by
the Fiat CODE, which is automatically activated when
the ignition key is extracted from the starter device.
TURNING THE ALARM ON
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with
the remote control towards the vehicle and press and
release the lock button.
Excluding some markets, the system produces an
acoustic warning (beep) and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is preceded by an self-
diagnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the system
produces another acoustic signal.
In this case, turn the alarm off by pressing the “release
doors/release load compartment” button, check that the
doors and bonnet are properly closed and turn the
alarm back on by pressing the lock button.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly shut, it will be
excluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the
doors and bonnet are correctly closed, a fault has
occurred in the operation of the system. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.ELECTRONIC ALARM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote control
functions described previously, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm intervenes in the following cases:
❒when one of the doors or bonnet is opened
illegitimately (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started up (ignition key
rotated to MAR-ON);
❒when the battery cables are cut;
❒when the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction
indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and
the number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal
operation.
The antilift protection may be turned off by means of
the appropriate button (see “Antilift protection”
paragraph overleaf).

ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION
The anti-lift protection system consists in a sensor
which detects any change in vehicle tilting with a view
to identifying any possible vehicle lifting, even partial
(e.g. when a tyre is removed).
The sensor also detects minor changes in the vehicle
angle both along the longitudinal and transverse axis.
Disabling the anti-lift protection
The anti-lift protection is disabled (for instance when
the vehicle needs to be towed with the alarm engaged)
by pressing button A-fig. 9 located on the control plate.
The protection remains enabled until the central door
opening system is engaged again. IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is
engaged using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is
not enabled.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet
requirements in various countries.
TURNING THE ALARM OFF
Press the door release/load compartment release
button on the key with remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding
some markets):
❒the direction indicators turn on shortly twice;
❒two short beeps are produced by the warning buzzer;
❒the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is
released using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is
not disabled.
