2009 FIAT DUCATO maintenance schedule

REFUELLING
Only refuel with automotive diesel conforming
to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty depending
on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged, set the
gear lever to neutral, fully depress the clutch
pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn
the ignition key to MAR-ON and wait for the
warning lights
Yand mto go off; turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the
engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park on
grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the
environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement
and check that the vehicle’s electrical system can
support the required load.
CODE card
Keep it in a safe place, not in the vehicle.
Make sure you have the electronic code written
on the CODE card with you at all times
.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct vehicle servicing is essential for ensuring
it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
...important information, advice and warnings
for correct use, driving safety and maintenance
of your vehicle over time. Pay special attention
to the symbols
"(personal safety)
#(environmental protection) !(vehicle
integrity).

DIGITAL DISPLAY
STANDARD SCREEN fig. 17
The standard screen shows the following information:
A Headlamp alignment position (only with dipped
headlamps on).
B Time (always displayed, even with the key extracted
and the front doors closed);
C Odometer (distance covered in kilometres or miles)
and TRIP data.
NOTE With key removed (when opening one of the
front doors) the display turns on and shows the time
and km or miles covered for a few seconds. The symbols are gradually turned off as the oil level
drops.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate a sufficient level
of oil in the sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit, this does
not indicate a fault or that insufficient oil is present in
the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum required value,
the display shows a dedicated message indicating
minimum engine oil level and the need for a top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity,
always check using the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display indicating the
amount of engine oil disappears and:
❒when the next scheduled servicing is near, the time
to the next service is displayed and the warning light
õlights up on the instrument panel. When the
service date is reached, the display shows
a dedicated message;
❒then, if it is nearly time to change the engine oil, the
time to the next oil change is shown on the top row
of the display. When the service interval has expired
a dedicated warning will be shown on the display.

NOTE The “Scheduled Maintenance Plan” sets out
different service intervals depending on the engine type.
This indication will appear automatically with the key at
MAR-ONstarting from 2,000 km (or 1240 mi) and will
be presented automatically every 200 km (or 124 mi).
Oil change notification messages are displayed in the
same way. Use keys
▲and ▼to display service and oil
change due dates alternately. Below 200 km servicing
indications are more frequent. The display will be in
kilometres or miles depending on the measurement unit
settings. When the next scheduled service is
approaching, the message “Service” will appear on the
display followed by the number of kilometres or miles
left when the key is turned to
MAR-ON. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to carry out any service operation in the
“Scheduled servicing plan” and to reset the display. Scheduled Servicing (Service)
Using this function you can display information about
the mileage intervals for car servicing.
To consult this display, proceed as follows:
– briefly press button MODE: the display shows service
requirements in km or mi according to the previous
setting (see paragraph “Unit of measure”);
– briefly press button MODE to go back to the menu
screen or press the button for longer to go back to the
standard screen.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may help you to keep
the running costs of your vehicle down and lower the
amount of toxic emissions released into the
atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low,
consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of
the vehicle (especially when driving in town) and its
geometry greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories decrease aerodynamic
penetration of the vehicle and have a negative effect on
fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer, particularly
for transporting bulky objects. In addition to these general precautions, some simple
precautions can improve driving safety, travelling
comfort and vehicle durability:
❒distribute the load evenly over the floor: if it is
necessary to concentrate it in a single area, choose
an area mid-way between both axles;
❒remember that the lower the load, the lower the
vehicle’s centre of gravity, making for a safer drive:
therefore always position the heaviest goods lower
down;
❒lastly, remember that the vehicle’s dynamic
behaviour is affected by the weight transported:
in particular, the stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
If you wish to carry petrol in a reserve
tank, observe the legal restrictions and
only use a tank that is type approved and
properly secured to the load anchorage
eyebolts. However, the risk of fire in the event
of an accident increases.
WARNING

The warning light on the dial comes on constantly
(along with the display of the message and a buzzer) to
indicate that the automatic transmission oil
temperature is too high.
POSSIBLE ICE ON ROAD
This indication starts flashing when the outside
temperature reaches or falls below 3 °C to warn the
driver of the possible presence of ice on the road.
The display will show the dedicated message (only for
versions with a multifunction display).
LIMITED RANGE
(versions with multifunction display)
The display will show the dedicated message to warn
the driver that the vehicle’s range is less than 50 km.
SPEED LIMIT EXCEEDED
The display shows the dedicated message when the
vehicle exceeds the set speed limit (see “Multifunction
Display” in section “Dashboard and controls”).

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensuring long vehicle
life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and
maintenance operations every 40,000/45,000 km.
The scheduled maintenance programme does not,
however, cover all the vehicle requirements; during the
initial period, before the 40,000/45,000 kilometre
service and later on, between services, routine
operations must be carried out like systematically
checking and topping up fluid levels, checking the tyre
inflation pressure, etc.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing coupons are specified
by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
Schedule servicing can be carried out by any Fiat
Dealership, at pre-established times.
If there is a need for further replacements or repairs
during any operation in addition to those planned, prior
consent of the Customer must be obtained first.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
in the event of any minor operating failure, without
waiting for the next service coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for trailer towing, the
interval between scheduled maintenance services must
be reduced.
