SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your Ducato. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precau-
tions to be taken as regards that particu-
lar component.
The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 2.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your vehicle from theft,
it has been fitted with an engine immobil-
ising system. This system is automatically
activated when the ignition key is re-
moved.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in
each ignition key grip. The device trans-
mits a radio-frequency signal when the en-
gine is started through a special aerial built
into the ignition switch. The modulate sig-
nal, which changes each time the engine is
started, is the “password”, by means of
which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press the AU-
TO button and then to turn the knob to
set the temperatures required on the dis-
play.
This way the system will start working
completely automatically to reach the
comfort temperature as quickly as possi-
ble. The system will set air temperature,
quantity and distribution and it will con-
trol the air recirculation function and the
activation of conditioner compressor.During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:
❒Òair recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒Zto speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, front side windows, rear
window and door mirrors;
During full automatic system operation,
you can change at any time set tempera-
ture, air distribution and fan speed by us-
ing the relevant buttons or knobs: the sys-
tem will automatically change its settings
to adjust to the new requirements. During FULL AUTO operation, changing
air distribution and/or flow and/or com-
pressor activation and/or air recirculation
will make the FULL wording disappear. In
this way functions will pass from automatic
control to manual control until pressing
again the AUTO button. With one or
more functions engaged manually, the ad-
justment of the temperature of the air ad-
mitted to the passenger compartment
continues to be controlled automatically
by the system, except with the climate
control compressor off: under this condi-
tion in fact, the temperature of the air ad-
mitted to the passenger compartment
cannot be lower than outside air temper-
ature.

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.

off:
❒automatically,after the preset pe-
riod of time (60 minutes when the dis-

approximately two minutes after the
heater has been turned off to dispose of
as much heat as possible. During this phase
the heater can, however, be turned on.

“FOLLOW ME HOME”
DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the vehicle for a preset
period of time.
Activation fig. 68
With the ignition key at OFFor removed,
pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
within 2 minutes from when the engine
is turned off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the
staying on of the lights is extended by 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally. Each time the stalk is operated, the in-
strument panel warning light 3will turn
on together with a message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”) until the function is active. The
warning light comes on the first time the
stalk is operated and will stay on up to au-
tomatic function deactivation. Each oper-
ation of the stalk will extend just the lights
switching on time.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the vehicle according to the
light sensitivity set: the greater the sensi-
tivity is, the smaller the amount of exter-
nal light necessary to control the switch-
ing-on of the external headlights will be.
The daylight sensor sensitivity can be ad-
justed by the “Set-up menu” of the display.Activation fig. 69
Turn the knurled ring to
2A:in this way,
the automatic activation of the side/tail-
lights and dipped beam headlights is si-
multaneously enabled according to the ex-
ternal luminosity.
Deactivation
As a result of the sensor control, the
dipped beam headlights will switch off and,
after about 10 seconds, sidelights will
switch off too.
The sensor is not able to detect the fog
presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.
