TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The “Trip computer” displays information
(with ignition key at MAR), relating to the
operating status of the vehicle. This func-
tion comprises two separate and inde-
pendent trips: “Trip A” and “Trip B” con-
cerning the “complete mission” of the ve-
hicle (journey).
Both functions are resettable (reset - start
of new mission).
“Trip A” shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– External temperature
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).“Trip B”, available on multifunction display
only, shall be used to display the figures
relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” function can be excluded
(see paragraph “Trip B On/Off”). “Range”
and “Instant consumption” cannot be re-
set.
Values displayed
External temperature
It indicates the external temperature of
the driver compartment.
Range
This value shows the distance in km (or
mi) that the vehicle can still cover before
needing fuel, assuming that driving condi-
tions are kept unvaried. The display will
show “----” in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle left parked with engine running
for long.
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission. Exit Menu
This is the last function that closes the cir-
cular setting cycle listed in the initial menu
screen.
Briefly press button MODEto go back to
the standard screen without storing set-
tings.

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.

AND CONTROLS
❒Always remember to turn the heater
off when refuelling or standing in ser-
vice stations to avoid fires and explo-
sions.
❒Do not park the vehicle over inflam-
mable material such as paper, dry grass
or leaves: fire risk!
❒The temperature near the heater must
never exceed 120°C (e.g. during paint-
ing operations in a workshop oven).
Higher temperatures could damage
the electronic control unit compo-
nents.
❒When the engine is off, the heater takes
power from the battery: it is conse-
quently important to run the engine for
a certain period of time in order to re-
store the battery charge.
❒Follow the prescriptions in section
“Vehicle maintenance” at paragraph
“Engine coolant level” to check the
coolant level. The coolant in the cir-
cuit must contain at least 10% an-
tifreeze fluid.
❒Maintenance and repairs must always
be carried out by a Fiat Dealership and
only genuine spare parts must be used.
MAINTENANCE
Have the heater checked at a Fiat Deal-
ership periodically (always before winter).
This will ensure safe and cheap running
and long appliance life.
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.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The parking heater goes off
when the battery voltage is low to enable
the vehicle to be started up.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the de-
vice, ensure that the fuel level is higher
than the reserve. Otherwise the device
could lock and require the assistance of
the Fiat Dealership.

DOOR LOCK fig. 82
To lock all doors at the same time, press
button A, located on the central console
control panel, regardless of the position
of the ignition key. Press button Bto un-
lock the doors.
The window control panel features a but-
ton Dfor independent locking/unlocking of

POWER SUPPLY AND
FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety switch that
in the event of a crash comes into opera-
tion by cutting off fuel and turning off the en-
gine as a consequence. When the inertial
switch cuts in, fuel supply is stopped and haz-
ard and sidelights will turn on, for turning
off press button A. An additional safety
switch is also fitted, that in the event of a
crash comes into operation by cutting off the
power supply. These two safety switches
therefore prevent dangerous fuel leaks due
to fuel line cracking and sparks or electric dis-
charges due to damaging or malfunctioning
of the electric components of the vehicle in
the event of a crash.
IMPORTANT After a crash, remember to
remove the key from the ignition device to
prevent battery run-down.
If, after a crash no fuel leaks or damages to
the electric devices (e.g. headlights) are
found and the vehicle can be started again,
reset the fuel cut-off switch and the power
supply cut-off switch (where provided). Fol-
low the instructions given below.
fig. 82F0N0047mfig. 84F0N0048m
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switches to
avoid fire risk.

AT THE FILLING
STATION
OPERATION AT LOW
TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin and could cause the malfunction-
ing of the fuel system.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suit-
able for the current temperature, mix
diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART ad-
ditive in the proportions stated on the can,
putting first the antifreeze in the tank and
then the diesel fuel.
If driving or parking the vehicle for a long
period in cold areas/mountains, refuel with
the diesel fuel available at local filling sta-
tions.
In this situation you are also recom-
mended to have in the tank an amount of
fuel 50% higher than usable capacity. RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND
CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs
mobile phones, HAM radio systems and
the like) shall not be used inside the ve-
hicle unless a separate aerial is mounted
on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (with-
out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-
quency electromagnetic fields which, am-
plified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause elec-
trical systems equipping the vehicle to mal-
function. This could compromise safety in
addition to constituting a potential hazard
for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the vehicle body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with
the instructions for use provided by the
mobile phone’s manufacturer.
