PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 156
(for versions/markets where provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special recess in the dashboard: this bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver’s. DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG
fig. 155
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel.
SEVERE DANGER: do not arrange cradle
child restraints facing backwards if the
passenger’s airbag is on. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Always
deactivate the passenger air bag when
placing a child seat on the front seat. Move
the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child seat and the
dashboard. Even when this is not mandatory
by law, the air bag should be immediately
reactivated when children are no longer carried
to ensure better protection for the adults.

SIDE BAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front side bags for driver and
passenger (for versions/markets where provided) for
protecting the chest and window bags (for versions/
markets where provided) for protecting front and rear
passengers’ heads.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) protect
occupants from side impacts of medium-high severity, by
placing the bag between the occupant and the internal
parts of the side structure of the vehicle. Non-activation
of side bags in other types of collisions (head-on
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not an
indication of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate
in the event of a side impact. The bags inflate
instantaneously placing themselves between the
occupants’ bodies and the structures which could cause
injury. They deflate immediately afterwards.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) are not
a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European countries.
FRONT SIDE BAGS – CHEST AND PELVIS
ZONE fig. 157 (for versions/markets where provided)
Housed in the seats’ backrests, they consist of an
instantly-inflating bag designed to protect the occupants’
chest and pelvis zone in the event of a side impact of
medium-high severity. MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER’S
FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG CHEST
PROTECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on the front seat,
the passenger’s front airbag and the Side Bag chest
protection (for versions/markets where provided) must
be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
Fwill switch on
constantly until the passenger’s front air bag and Side
Bag (chest protection) are reactivated (for versions/
markets where provided).
To deactivate the passenger’s front air
bag and the side bag (chest protection)
(for versions/markets where provided), refer to
paragraphs “Digital display” and “Multifunction
display” in section “Dashboard and controls”.

PROCEDURE FOR
Proceed as follows:
❒engage the handbrake;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR-ON: the warning lights
mand Yon the instrument panel will turn on;
❒wait for the warning lights Yand mto turn off.
The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
❒press the clutch pedal all the way down without
touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVVas soon as the warning
light
mturns off. Waiting too long will waste the
work done by the glow plugs. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The vehicle is fitted with an electronic engine lock
device: if the engine fails to start, see the paragraph
“The Fiat CODE system” in section “Dashboard and
controls”.
STARTING AND DRIVING
It is dangerous to let the engine run in
enclosed spaces. The engine consumes
the oxygen and discharges carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
In the first period of use, we recommend
avoiding excessive stress on the car (for
instance excessive acceleration, extended
travel at maximum speed, sudden braking etc.).
When the engine is switched off never
leave the key into the ignition switch to
prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until
the engine has been started, therefore much
effort than usual is required on the brake pedal
and steering wheel.
WARNING
147-160 DUCATO LUM EN 7ed 6/21/10 2:13 PM Page 147

❒cover the vehicle with a piece of fabric or perforated
plastic sheet. Do not use compact plastic tarpaulins,
which prevent humidity from evaporating from the
surface of the vehicle;
❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the
normal specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery from the electric
system, check its charge every month and recharge it
if the optical indicator shows a dark colour without
the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle is equipped with an alarm
system, switch off the vehicle alarm with the remote
control.
LONG VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the road for longer than
one month, the following precautions must be taken:
❒park the vehicle indoors in a dry and, possibly, well-
ventilated place;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal and check
battery charge. Repeat this check once every three
months during storage. Recharge if the optical
indicator shows a dark colour without the central
green area (see “Battery recharging” in the section
“Dashboard and controls”); If the vehicle is equipped
with a battery disconnection function (disconnector),
see the description of the procedure in the
“Controls” paragraph in the “Dashboard and
controls” section;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using protective
wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
commercially-available compounds;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen
and rear window wiper blades and lift them off
the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
