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-

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

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).

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.

13GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
SYSTEM SELF-TEST
If the beep is followed after one sec-
ond by another beep when the elec-
tronic alarm is switched on, check
whether the doors, the bonnet and
the load compartment are perfectly
closed. Try to switch the alarm on
again. If the situation persists, contact
a Fiat Dealership.WHAT SETS
THE ALARM OFF
The electronic alarm will be set off if:
1) a door, the bonnet or the load
compartment is opened;
2) the battery is disconnected or the
electronic alarm power supply cables
are cut;
3) something moves in the passen-
ger compartment (volumetric surveil-
lance);
4) the key is turned to MAR.
When the alarm is triggered, a siren
will sound for about 26 seconds (for a
maximum of 3 cycles with 5 second
pauses, if the cause of the alarm per-
sists) and the direction indicators will
flash for about 5 minutes (only in the
countries where this is allowed).
Once the alarm situation has been
resolved, the alarm will return to its
normal surveillance function. PROGRAMMING
THE SYSTEM
The electronic alarm will have been
programmed by Fiat Dealership.
Any subsequent programming should
also be carried out by a Fiat Deal-
ership.
If additional remote control is re-
quired for any reasons, go to a Fiat
Dealership, taking all the keys you
own and the CODE card with you.
IMPORTANTThe electronic
alarm operation is prepared according
to the laws of the specific country.
This operation is only to be carried
out by a Fiat Dealershipto avoid
damaging the electronic memory stor-
age system.

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.

134GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE
VEHICLE STORAGE
The following precautions should be
taken if the vehicle will not be used for
several months:
– park the vehicle in covered, dry and
if possible well-ventilated premises;
– engage a gear;
– remove the cables from the battery
(first remove the cable to the negative
terminal) and check the battery
charge. If the vehicle is to be stored
for long periods the charge of the bat-
tery should be checked every month
and recharged if it falls below 12.5 V;– make sure the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
– clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
– clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds readi-
ly available;
– sprinkle talcum powder on the rub-
ber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
– slightly open the windows;
– cover the vehicle with a cloth or
perforated plastic sheet. Do not use
sheets of non-perforated plastic as
they do not allow moisture on the ve-
hicle body to evaporate;– inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure and
check it at intervals;
– do not drain the engine cooling sys-
tem.
IMPORTANTWhere relevant,
switch off the electronic vehicle alarm
with the remote control and deacti-
vate the system by turning the emer-
gency key to OFF (see “Electronic
alarm” in section “Getting to know
your vehicle”).

IF THE BATTERY
IS FLAT
IMPORTANTBattery recharging
procedure is given as information on-
ly since this operation shall be only
performed at a Fiat Dealership.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
You are advised to recharge the bat-
tery slowly for a period of approxi-
mately 24 hours at a low amperage.
Charging for too long could damage
the battery.
Proceed as follows:
1) disconnect the electrical system
from the battery terminals;
IMPORTANTIf the vehicle is fit-
ted with the alarm system, deactivate
it by the remote control (see “Elec-
tronic alarm” in chapter “Getting to
know your vehicle”).JUMP STARTING
See “Jump starting” in this section. 2)connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals;
3)turn the charger on;
4)when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting the
battery;
5) reconnect the cables to the bat-
tery terminals. Make sure the polari-
ty is correct.
The liquid in the battery is
poisonous and corrosive.
Do not let it touch the skin or eyes.
Recharging the battery should be
done in a well-ventilated area away
from naked flames or possible
sources of sparks: explosion and fire
risk.
WARNING
Do not attempt to recharge
a frozen battery. Thaw it
first otherwise it could explode. If
the battery froze, make sure the in-
ternal elements are not broken
(short-circuit risk) and that the cas-
ing is not cracked (risk of spilling
the poisonous and corrosive fluid.
WARNING

177VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
ELECTRONIC
CONTROL UNIT
When the vehicle is being used nor-
mally, special measures are not nec-
essary.
The following instructions must be
followed very carefully however, if
you work on the electrical system or
in cases where emergency starting is
necessary:
– never disconnect the battery from
the electric system while the engine is
running;
– disconnect the battery from the
electric system if you are recharging it;
– never perform emergency starting
with a battery charger. Always use an
auxiliary battery;
– be particularly careful when con-
necting the battery to the electric sys-
tem. Make sure that the polarity is
correct and that the connection is ef-
ficient;
– do not connect or disconnect the
terminals of the electronic units while
the ignition key is at MAR;
– do not check polarity through
sparking;– disconnect the electronic control
units if you are electrically welding the
vehicle body. Remove the units if tem-
peratures exceed 80 °C (special op-
erations on the bodywork, etc.).
IMPORTANTIf the sound system
or vehicle alarm systems are not in-
stalled correctly, they can interfere
with the working of the electronic
control units.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system car-
ried out incorrectly and without
bearing the features of the system
in mind can cause malfunctions
with the risk of fire.
WARNING
SPEED LIMITER
On certain version, the injection con-
trol unit is set to limit the vehicle
speed at a max. preset limit.
Speed limits are the following:
– for Minibus versions (M2 homolo-
gation category): 100 km/h;
– for good Transport versions (ve-
hicle dead weight: > 3.5 t) (N2 ho-
mologation category): 90 km/h;
Label (fig.16) with admitted top
speed (90 or 100 km/h according to
versions) is applied on the wind-
screen.
This limit has been established by Eu-
ropean Directive 2002/85/EC, what-
ever violation is therefore punishable
by law.
IMPORTANTWhen the device
comes into action, the speed value
displayed on the instrument panel
could be approx. 10% higher than the
actual one.
