O.AIR RECIRCULATION
With the slider at Òthe internal
air is recirculated.
IMPORTANT This function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tun-
nel, etc.). You are advised against us-
ing this function for long periods, how-
ever, especially if there are a lot of pas-
sengers in the vehicle as it could lead
to the windows misting up.

SYSTEM
CONTROLS fig. 81
A- Fan knob.
B- Air temperature knob (mixing
hot and cold air).
C- Air distribution knob.
D- Air recirculation slider to cut off
outside air.IMPORTANTThis function speeds
up the air cooling in summer. It is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tun-
nel, etc.). You are advised against us-
ing this function for long periods, how-
ever, especially if there are a lot of pas-
sengers in the vehicle.
E- Climate control system on/off
button.The Panorama and Combi versions
are equipped with a climate control
system consisting of a main system and
a supplementary system (optional) fig.
82set on the left-hand wall near the
first row seats.

Turn knob fig. 83 under the roof to
turn the supplementary climate control
system on. It will only work when the
main system is running.
Air flow is distributed to the back
through the directional vents set under
the roof by lever A-fig. 84.
Like for Panorama and Combi, also the
Van versions can be equipped with an
optional climate control system to be set
in the load compartment and to be
switched on using the relevant console
controls.AIR CONDITIONING
(COOLING)
Control settings for quick cooling:
1)air temperature knob: pointer at
the blue sector
2)climate control system: press but-
ton √
3)air recirculation slider: at Ò
4) air distribution knob: pointer at O
5)fan knob: pointer at the required
speed.To reduce the cooling effect: posi-
tion the slider at Ú, to increase the
temperature and decrease the fan
speed.
Do not switch the climate control
system on for heating and ventilation.
Use the ordinary heating and ventila-
tion system (see previous section).
IMPORTANT The climate control
system is very useful for clearing the
windows rapidly because it dries the
air. Simply set the controls for demist-
ing and turn the climate control sys-
tem on with button √.
ADDITIONAL HEATER
Certain versions feature, under the
driver’s seat, an additional heater us-
ing the same heating system controls.

IMPORTANTThe airtight seal of
the cap may lead to a slight increase of
pressure in the tank. A hissing sound
when the cap is removed is therefore
quite normal.
After refuelling, screw the cap until
hearing one or more clicks, turn the
key and then remove it.. close the lid.
IMPORTANTMoreover, before
starting the engine, for the sake of
safety, check whether the refuelling
gun is properly hung onto the fuel
pump.If required, replace the
fuel cap with another gen-
uine cap to avoid affecting
the efficiency of the fuel vapour
recovery system.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Protection of the environment has
been the guiding principle in the design
of the Fiat Ducato right from the start.
The result is the use of materials and
creation of devices that can reduce or
considerably curtail harmful influences
on the environment.
The devices for curtailing petrol en-
gine emissions are:
– a three-way catalytic converter;
– a lambda sensor;
– a fuel evaporation system.
The devices for curtailing diesel en-
gine emissions are:
– an oxidising catalytic converter;
– an exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.) (for certain versions).
Consequently, the Fiat Ducato is
ready to travel well ahead of the most
stringent international pollution control
standards.
Keep naked flames or light-
ed cigarettes away from
the fuel filler hole as there is a dan-
ger of fire. Do not bend too close to
the hole either so as not to breathe
in harmful vapours.
