2009 FIAT DUCATO refuelling

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).

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 16
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid
and starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50 °C.
In normal usage, the needle should hover around the
middle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B may light up (and a message on the
multifunction display may appear on certain versions) to
indicate that the coolant fluid temperature is too high; in
this case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership. FUEL GAUGE fig. 15
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel
tank.
E vacuum tank;
F tank full (see “Refuelling”).
The warning light A coming on indicates that there are
about 10-12 litres of fuel remaining in the tank
(depending on the version). Do not travel with the fuel
tank almost empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could
damage the catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning
light A will flash to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to start the additional
heater (Webasto) when fuel is on reserve.

IMPORTANT Before switching the device on, check
that the fuel level is higher than the reserve level.
Otherwise the device could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when refuelling and near
service stations to avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on inflammable material
such as paper, grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater should not exceed
120 °C (e.g. during stove painting in a body shop).
The electronic control unit components may be
damaged at higher temperatures.
❒Whilst the heater is operating with the engine
switched off, it absorbs energy from the battery; the
engine should therefore be left running for a while to
make sure that the battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the instructions in
the “Vehicle maintenance” chapter in the “Engine
coolant system fluid” paragraph. The water in the
heating circuit must contain a minimum percentage
of 10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, only contact Fiat
Dealerships and only use genuine spare parts.

MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked regularly at a Fiat
Dealership (and always at the start of every winter).
This will guarantee safe and economic operation of the
heater as well as a long duration.
ADDITIONAL REAR HEATING
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions have a main heating
system plus an additional one (on request) with the
controls in the roof lining above the second row of
seats, fig. 67.

REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
OPERATION AT LOW TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very low, diesel thickens
due to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season: summer
type, winter type and arctic type (cold/mountain areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the current temperature, it is advisable to
mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions
shown on the container with the fuel. Pour the additive
into the tank before the diesel fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this situation it is also advisable to keep the fuel tank
more than 50% full. PREPARATION FOR TELEPASS DEVICE
IN REFLECTIVE WINDSCREEN
(for versions/markets where provided)
If the vehicle is equipped with a reflective windscreen,
install the Telepass in the appropriate area shown in
fig. 139-140.

The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in
pressure in the tank. A little breathing off, while
slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the device inside
the flap as shown in fig. 141.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice after the first
click of the fuel delivery gun. Further top-ups could
cause faults in the fuel feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP fig. 141
When refuelling, open the flap A then undo the cap B
turning the ignition key anticlockwise; the cap has
a device C to prevent it being lost.Only use diesel fuel that conforms to
European specification EN590. The use
of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, due to
the damage caused. If you accidentally introduce
other types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine and empty the tank. If the engine has run,
even for a very short time, you will need to have
the entire fuel system emptied in addition to
the tank.
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank opening:
fire risk. Keep your face away from the fuel
filler to avoid breathing in harmful vapours.

The presence of water in the supply
circuit may cause severe damage to the
injection system and irregular engine
operation. If warning light
clights up (on some
versions with the message on the display),
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to
have the system bled. If the same message is
displayed immediately after refuelling, water may
have entered the tank: turn the engine off
immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Multijet
versions – amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON
position the warning light comes on but should
go out after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when there is water in the
diesel fuel filter.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.

VEHICLE PROTECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE – FIAT CODE
(amber)
Turning the key to MAR-ON the warning light
will flash only once and then go off.
When the warning light comes on constantly, with key
in MAR-ON, this indicates:
❒a potential fault (refer to “The Fiat CODE system”
paragraph in the section “Dashboard and controls”);
❒a possible theft attempt with an alarm; in this case
the warning light goes off after approximately
10 seconds.
If with the engine running the warning light
Yflashes,
the vehicle is not protected by the engine inhibitor
device (see “Fiat Code system” in section “Dashboard
and controls”).
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have all the keys
reprogrammed.
