DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒door internal handles;
❒locking/unlocking buttons A-B fig. 110;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of at-
tempt to break-into (e.g.: window breaking).
The dead lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the vehicle is parked and left unat-
tended.
Once the dead lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from the passen-
ger’s compartment in any way what-
soever. For this reason, make sure
there are no person left inside the ve-
hicle. If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the dead lock
device can be deactivated only by fit-
ting the metal insert of the key in
both front door revolving plugs as de-
scribed previously: in this case the
dead lock device will stay engaged
only on the rear doors.
WARNINGDevice activation
The dead lock device is automatically ac-
tivated on every door when pressing twice
briefly the remote control button
Ø, fig.
107.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashing
of direction indicators and flashing of the
button led A-fig. 110.
If one of the doors is not perfectly closed,
the dead lock device will not activate, thus
preventing that a person getting into the ve-
hicle from the open door remains blocked
inside the passenger’s compartment when
she/he closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒when opening the driver’s door using
the key without remote control;
❒when unlocking doors using the re-
mote control;
❒turning the ignition key to MAR.

To change gears properly
you must push the clutch
pedal fully down. It is therefore es-
sential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying
flat and do not get in the way of the
pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as
the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to
premature wear on the gearbox inter-
nal components.
To engage reverse R from neutral, pro-
ceed as follows: raise the sliding ring Aun-
der the knob and at the same time move
the gearshift lever leftwards and then for-
ward.
LOAD
RECOMMENDATIONS
The version of the Fiat Ducato you are
driving has been designed and approved
on the basis of several set maximum
weights (see the tables “Weights” in sec-
tion “Technical specifications”): kerb
weight; payload; total weight; total weight
on the front axle; total weight on the rear
axle; towable weight
Each of these limits must be
borne in mind and MUST
NEVER BE EXCEEDED under any cir-
cumstances. In particular, never ex-
ceed the maximum weight permitted
on the front and rear axles when ar-
ranging loads in vehicle (especially for
special version vehicles).Chance knocks or sudden
braking can cause sudden
shifts of the load which could jeop-
ardise the safety of the driver and the
passengers: before you start off make
sure the load is firmly secured by us-
ing the hooks built into the floor for
that purpose. Use metal cables, ropes
or straps strong enough to support
the weight of the load to be fixed.
WARNING
WARNING
Even if the vehicle is sta-
tionary on a steep hill or
sideways incline, goods not properly
secured could fall out when the back
or side doors are opened.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Max. admitted load on floor
fixings is 500 kg; max. admitted load on
body side is 150 kg.IMPORTANT For versions with right and
left side boards, before opening the side
boards you are recommended to refit the
release lever in closing position.
