2007 FIAT DUCATO front passenger seat

With front passenger’s air bag ac -
tive do not place cradle child’s seats
facing backwards on the front pas -
senger seat since the air bag acti -
vation could cause serious injuries,
even mortal regardless of the se -
riousness of the crash. You are ad -
vised to carry children always on
the rear seat, as this is the most
protected position in the case of a
crash.

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
This vehicle is preset for mounting the
Universal Isofix child restraint system, a
new European standardised system for
carrying children safely.
Fig. 11shows a child restraint system by
way of example.
Due to its different anchoring system, the
Universal Isofix child’s seat shall be an-
chored to the proper lower metal rings
A-fig. 12, set between rear seat back
and cushion. The upper belt (provided
with the child’s seat) shall be then secured
to ring B-fig. 13located in the rear part
of the seat.
It is possible to mount at the same time
both the traditional restraint system and
the “Universal Isofix” one.
Remember that in case of Universal Isofix
child’s seat, you can only use all those
seats approved with the marking ECE
R44/03 “Universal Isofix”.At Lineaccessori Fiat is available the “Uni-
versal Isofix” “Duo Plus” child’s seat.
For any further installation/use detail, re-
fer to the “Instructions Manual” that must
be provided by the child restraint system
Manufacturer.

FRONT AIR BAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front air bags
for driver and passenger.
WARNING
The driver / passenger front air bags have
been designed to protect the occupants in
the event of head-on crashes of medium-
high severity, by placing the cushion be-
tween the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect ve-
hicle’s occupants in front crashes and
therefore non-activation in other types of
collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-
overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
In case of front crash, an electronic con-
trol unit, when required, triggers the in-
flation of the cushion. The cushion imme-
diately inflates, placing itself as a protec-
tion between the body of the front occu-
pants and the structure that could cause
injuries. Immediately after, the cushion de-
flates.

The driver / passenger front air bags are
not a replacement of but complementary
to the use of belts, which should always
be worn, as specified by law in Europe and
most non European countries.
At their maximum inflation, the front air
bags volume fills most of the space be-
tween driver and steering wheel and be-
tween dashboard and passenger.
In case of crash, a person not wearing the
seat belt moves forward and may come in-
to contact with the cushion while it is still
inflating. Under this circumstance the pro-
tection offered by the air bag is reduced.Front air bags may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable
objects not affecting the vehicle front
surface (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, heaps of gravel, etc.);
❒in case of wedging under other vehi-
cles or protective barriers (for exam-
ple under a truck or guard rail), the air
bag is not triggered as it offers no ad-
ditional protection compared with the
seat belts, consequently it would be
pointless. Therefore, failure to come
into action in the above circumstance
does not mean that the system is not
working properly.
fig. 16F0N0140mfig. 17F0N0133m
Do not apply stickers or other ob -
jects to the steering wheel or to the
air bag cover on the passenger’s
side or on the side roof lining. Nev -
er put objects (e.g. mobile phones)
on the dashboard on passenger side
since they could interfere with
proper air bag inflation and also
cause serious injury.
In minor crashes (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts is sufficient), the air
bags are not deployed. Also in this case it
is of vital importance to wear the seat belts
since in case of side crash they guarantee
proper positioning of the occupant and
prevent the occupants to be pitched out of
the vehicle in case of violent crashes.

To change a wheel proceed as
follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel safe-
ly. The ground should be flat and ad-
equately firm;
❒turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflecting safety jacket (com-
pulsory by law in certain countries) be-
fore getting out of the vehicle;
❒alert other drivers that the vehicle is
stationary, using the proper devices in
compliance with the regulations in
force (e.g.: warning triangle, hazard
warning lights, etc …);
❒take the extension and the wrench
from the tool bag under the passen-
ger’s seat (see “Compartment under
the front passenger’s seat” in section
“dashboard and controls”);
The jack shall only be used
for changing wheels on the
vehicle with which it is provided or on
vehicles of the same model. It must
not be used for other purposes such
as for instance raising vehicles of oth-
er models. In no case should it be used
for repairs under the vehicle. Incor-
rect positioning of the jack may cause
the jacked vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for higher capacities than
stated on its label.
WARNING
Never tamper with the in-
flation valve. Never place
tools between the rim and tyre.
Check and restore, if required, the
pressure of tyres and spare wheel to
the values given in section “Technical
Specifications”.
WARNING
Please note:
❒the jack weight is 4.5 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks
it must be replaced with a new jack;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
