Air temperature
adjusting knob (I)
temperatura
Turning the knob
clockwise or counter-clockwise,
respectively raises or lowers the
temperature of the air required in the
passenger compartment.
Set temperature is shown on the
display.
Turning the knob fully clockwise or
counter-clockwise until it reaches the ex-
treme selections HI or LO, the maximum
heating or cooling functions are respec-
tively engaged:
❒HI function (highest heating power):
this is turned on by rotating the temper-
ature knob clockwise and passing the max.
temperature value (32 °C).
This function can be engaged when re-
quiring to heat the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible, exploiting the
maximum potential of the system. Under
these conditions, the system is no longer
controlled by the automatic temperature
adjustment system and sets air mixing to
maximum heating by modulating speed
and air distribution.
More particularly, max. fan speed will not
be immediately engaged if coolant is not
hot enough; this to prevent admitting air
that is not warm enough to the passenger
compartment.
All manual settings are possible with this
function on.To switch the function off, simply turn the
knob counter-clockwise and set the re-
quired temperature.
❒LO function (highest cooling power:
this is turned on by rotating the temper-
ature knob counter-clockwise and passing
the min. temperature value (16 °C).
This function can be engaged when re-
quiring to cool the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible, exploiting the
maximum potential of the system. Under
these conditions, the system is no longer
controlled by the automatic temperature
adjustment system and sets air mixing to
maximum cooling by modulating speed
and air distribution. All manual settings are
possible with this function on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the
knob clockwise and set the required tem-
perature.

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.

IMPORTANT The heater is equipped with
a thermal switch which cuts off the heater
in the event of overheating caused by low
or leaking coolant. In this case, press the
program selection button to start the
heater again after repairing the cooling sys-
tem fault and/or topping up the fluid.
The heater can turn itself off after engine
ignition or if the flame goes out. In this
case, turn the heater off manually and at-
tempt to turn it back on again. If you can-
not turn the heater on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.Turning the heater on
If an automatic climate control system is
fitted, the control unit sets air tempera-
ture and distribution when the parking
heater is turned on.
When a manual heater/climate control
system is fitted, to achieve peak heater
performance, check that the passenger
compartment heater/ventilation unit air
temperature knob is in “warm air” posi-
tion.
For preferential passenger compartment
preheating, turn the air distribution knob
to position
©.
For preferential windscreen demisting, set
the air distribution knob to position
-.
To obtain both functions, set the air dis-
tribution knob to position
