2006 FIAT DUCATO lock

Always adjust the height of the seat
belt to fit the person wearing it. This
could greatly reduce the risk of injury
in the case of collision.
The belt is adjusted properly when
the webbing passes approximately
halfway between the edge of the
shoulder and the neck.
5 different adjustments in height are
provided.PRETENSIONERS
Ducato vehicles fitted with airbags
are also fitted with pretensioners to
improve protection.
These devices “feel” that a violent
collision is in progress via a sensor and
pull back a few inches of webbing. In
this way the pretensioners ensure that
the belt is adhering perfectly to the
body before the belt begins to hold
back the wearer.
When the pretensioner has been
triggered the retractor will lock. The
seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.
After you have made the
adjustment, always make
sure that the loop is attached firm-
ly in one of the preset positions. To
do this, with the button released,
exert a further pressure to allow
the anchoring device to catch if re-
lease did not take place at one of
the preset positions.

If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to steal your ve-
hicle), get a Fiat Dealership to make
sure it is still functioning properly
before you start driving again.
WARNING
When you get out of the
vehicle, always remove the
ignition key. This will prevent any-
one from accidentally working the
controls. Remember to apply the
handbrake and, if the vehicle is
faced up on a steep slope engage
the first gear. If it is facing down,
engage the reverse gear. Never
leave children in the vehicle by
themselves.
WARNING
Never remove the ignition
key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel will au-
tomatically lock as soon as you try
to turn it. This also applies when
the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifi-
cations (e.g.: installation of anti-
theft Device) that could badly af-
fect performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also re-
sult in non-compliance of the car
with homologation requirements.

TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 29
Under normal conditions, the needle
should hover around the middle of the
scale.
If it approaches the red section, it
means that the engine is being over-
taxed and you should reduce your de-
mand on it.
Also travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case, it is better to stop
and turn the engine off. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.SPEEDOMETER

REV COUNTER fig. 32
IMPORTANT The electronic sys-
tem progressively blocks fuel flow to
prevent engine from overrevving. This
will lead to a progressive loss of en-
gine power. If the situation persists
even after the measures
you have taken, turn off
the engine and have the vehicle
seen at a Fiat Dealership.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
(where provided)
The gauge graphically displays the en-
gine oil level between the MINand
MAXreference points.
To perform measurement ensure
the vehicle is on a flat ground, then
proceed as follows:
1)when the engine is not running,
turn the ignition key to MAR;
2)the word “OIL” will be displayed
for 5 seconds together with six dashes
and five or six boxes showing the cor-
rect engine oil level;
Fig. 38- Correct oil level.
Fig. 39- Minimum oil level.
Should oil level be at minimum, re-
store oil level to the correct level as
soon as possible. Anyhow, before top-
ping up, first use the special dipstick
to check the level.
3)If the words “OIL HIGH”fig. 40
are displayed, this means that oil level
is excessive (over maximum level) and
it is therefore necessary to reduce its
level in the sump. DIGITAL CLOCK fig. 37
Clock can always be adjusted (also
with engine off and key removed).
Setting time
The clock will advance by one unit
each time the button G-fig. 37is
pressed. Press the button and hold it
down for a few seconds to rapidly ad-
vance the time automatically.
When the clock draws near to the
correct time, release the button and
complete the regulation manually.

When there is water in the diesel fil-
ter. The light should come on when
the ignition key is turned to MAR and
go out after a few seconds.ABS (WHEEL
ANTILOCKING
SYSTEM)
FAILURE (amber)
The warning light comes on when
there is a failure in the ABS system. In
this case, the normal braking system
continues to work although without
the ABS assistance but you should
have the vehicle seen to at a Fiat
Dealershipas soon as possible.
The warning light should come on
when the ignition key is turned to
MARand should go out after ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
c
The presence of water in
diesel fuel can cause se-
vere damage to the en-
gine fuel feed system. Conse-
quently, you should go to a Fiat
Dealership as soon as the
c
warning light comes on to have
the system relieved. Warning
light coming on immediately af-
ter refuelling probably indicates
the presence of water in the tank:
turn the engine off and contact a
Fiat Dealership.

FIAT CODE
(amber)
The warning light comes on in three
cases (when the ignition key is at
MAR):
1.One flash - the key code has been
recognised. The engine can be start-
ed.
2.Fixed light - the key code has not
been recognised. Follow the emer-
gency procedure to start the engine
(see “In an emergency”).
3. Flashing - the vehicle is not pro-
tected by the device. The engine can
however be started.
Y
Vehicles with ABS are fitted
with electronic brakeforce
distributor (EBD). The >and x
warning lights come on at the same
time when the engine is running to
indicate that there is an EBD sys-
tem failure. In this case violent
braking may be accompanied by
early rear wheel locking with the
possibility of skidding. Drive ex-
tremely carefully to the nearest Fi-
at Dealership to have the system
checked.

be reduced. In this case too, you are
advised to go immediately to the
nearest Fiat Dealership, driving in
such a way to avoid sharp braking
to have the system checked over.
