HANDBRAKE fig. 159
The handbrake lever is located to the left side of the
driver’s seat. Pull the lever upwards to engage the
handbrake and ensure that the vehicle does not move.
Four or five notches are normally sufficient to brake the
vehicle on flat ground, while nine or ten may be
necessary on a steep slope with the vehicle loaded.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition
key is at
MAR-ON, the instrument panel warning light
xwill turn on. Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and press the release
button
A;
❒keep button Apressed and lower the lever.
The warning light
xon the instrument panel will
turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the vehicle from moving accidentally.
IMPORTANT Apply the handbrake lever only when
the vehicle is at a standstill or with the vehicle in
motion only in the event of a fault in the hydraulic
system. If exceptional use is made of the handbrake
with the vehicle in motion, moderate traction is
advisable in order not to cause locking of the rear end
with consequent swerving of the vehicle.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the
vehicle is faced uphill or reverse if it is faced
downhill) and leave the wheels steered.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is advisable
to block the wheels with a wedge or stone. Do not
leave the key in the ignition switch to prevent draining
the battery. Always remove the key when you leave
the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Always remove the ignition
key when leaving the vehicle and take it out
with you.

IMPORTANT For versions with right and left side flaps,
it is advisable to reposition the release lever in the
closed position before lowering the sides.
LOAD ADVICE
The Fiat Ducato version used by you has been designed
and type approved on the basis of certain maximum
weights (see “Weights” table in the “Technical Data”
section): kerb weight, payload, total weight, maximum
weight on front axle, maximum weight on rear axle,
towable weight.
Each of these must be strictly observed
and MUST NEVER BE EXCEEDED in
any case. In particular, ensure that you never
exceed the maximum permitted weights on the
front and rear axles when arranging the load on
the vehicle (particularly if the vehicle is
equipped with a specific trim level).
WARNING
IMPORTANT The maximum permitted load on the
floor fastenings is 500 kg; the maximum permitted load
on the side panel is 150 kg.
Irregular trajectories and abrupt braking
may cause sudden movements of the
load with consequent situations of hazard for
the driver and passengers: before setting off,
secure the load tightly using the appropriate
hooks on the floor and use steel cables, ropes
or chains strong enough to hold the items to be
secured.
WARNING
If a vehicle is parked on a very steep
gradient or with a side gradient, opening
the rear door or side door could cause any
unsecured items to emerge suddenly.

Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when starting at traffic lights or
before switching off the engine. The latter action, like
doubling the clutch, is unnecessary and causes increase
of consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions
allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase
consumption. In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions an engine wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed.
Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cause excessive fuel
consumption and increased emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect consumption and
emissions: acceleration should therefore be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum torque. Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing the requirement
of current increases fuel consumption (up to +25% in
the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The climate control system is an additional load which
greatly affects the engine leading to higher consumption
(on average up to +20%). When the temperature
outside the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and consumption
levels.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the vehicle at a standstill or
at idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine
warms up much more slowly, increasing consumption and
emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds. This way the
engine will warm faster.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The vehicle must be provided with a type-approved tow
hook and adequate electrical system to tow caravans or
trailers. Installation should be carried out by specialised
personnel who will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional rear view mirrors as
specified by the Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are
harder to climb, the braking spaces increase and
overtaking takes longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than
constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle tow hook will
reduce the loading capacity of the vehicle by the same
amount. Consider the weight of the trailer fully laden,
including accessories and luggage, to make sure you do
not exceed the maximum towable weight (shown on
the vehicle registration document).
Do not exceed the speed limits specific for each country
you are driving in, in the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not exceed 100 km/h.
Fit a suitable towing stabiliser to the trailer to be towed. CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts will prevent the
engine from reaching optimal running temperature.
Consequently, both consumption (from +15 to +30% on
urban cycle ) and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are linked to situations
with heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in queues
with frequent use of the lower gears or in cities with
many traffic lights. Winding mountain roads and rough
road surfaces also adversely affect consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level crossings) the
engine should be switched off.
