This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Ducato versions. As a consequence, you should only consider the information
which is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. All data contained in this publication is
purely indicative. Fiat Group Automobiles can modify the specifications of the vehicle model described in this publication
at any time, for technical or marketing purposes. For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
44) After travelling for a few
kilometres, check to ensure that
the fixing screws for the
attachments are well tightened.
45) Evenly distribute the load and
take into account, when driving,
the increased responsiveness
of the vehicle to side wind.
IMPORTANT
5) The size of the loads you
transport must strictly comply
with currently applicable
regulations.
6) Never exceed the maximum
permitted loads (see “Technical
specifications” section).
HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM ALIGNMENT
The correct alignment of the headlights
is essential for the comfort and safety
of the driver and other road users.
To ensure the best visibility when
travelling with the headlights on, the
headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key
in the MAR-ON position and the dipped
beam headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is
laden, raising the beam.
The beams must therefore be realigned
in this case.

IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
77) The responsibility for parking
and other manoeuvres is always
and in any case charged to the
driver. While carrying out these
manoeuvres, always make sure
that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the
area concerned. The camera is an
aid for the driver, but the driver
must never allow his/her attention
to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
Always keep a slow speed, so as
to promptly brake in the case
of obstacles.
IMPORTANT
8) It is vital, for correct operation,
that the camera is always kept
clean and free from mud, dirt,
snow or ice. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the camera
while cleaning it. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths. The camera
must be washed using clean
water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing
stations which use steam or
high-pressure jets, clean the
camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away
from the sensors. Do not apply
stickers to the camera.

ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNERIf after buying the car, you decide to
install electrical accessories that require
a permanent electric supply (alarm,
satellite antitheft system, etc.) or
accessories that in any case burden the
electric supply, contact a Fiat
Dealership, whose qualified personnel,
besides suggesting the most suitable
devices from Lineaccessori Fiat, will
also evaluate the overall electric
consumption, checking whether the
car's electrical system is able to
withstand the load required, or whether
it needs to be integrated with a more
powerful battery.
87)
INSTALLING
ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices
installed after buying the car in the
context of after-sales service must carry
the following label: fig. 137.Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the
installation of transceivers provided that
installation is carried out at a
specialised centre, in a workmanlike
fashion and in compliance with
manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road if devices
have been installed which modify the
features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to
faults caused by the change either
directly or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for
damage caused by the installation
of accessories either not supplied or
recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A.
and/or not installed in compliance with
the instructions provided.RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle
mobile phones, CB radios, amateur
radio etc.) cannot be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted
externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices
inside the passenger compartment
(without an external aerial) may cause
the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety
of the car in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for passengers' health.
In addition, transmission and reception
of these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the car body.
As far as the use of EC-approved
mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile
phone manufacturer.
PROVISION FOR FITTING
TELEPASS ON
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. 138 - fig. 139.

WARNING
87) Take care when fitting additional
spoilers, alloy wheels or non-
standard wheel hubs: they could
reduce the ventilation of the
brakes and affect efficiency
during sharp, repeated braking or
on long descents. Make sure
that nothing obstructs the pedal
stroke (mats, etc.)
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
IN BRIEF
Refuel the vehicle exclusively with
diesel for motor vehicles in
compliance with European
specification EN590.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
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. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

138) The spare wheel supplied (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is specific for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be
used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models
on your vehicle. The wheel bolts
are specific for your vehicle: do
not use them on different models
and do not use bolts from other
models on your car.
139) Have the wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible. Do
not apply grease to the bolt
threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
140) Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the vehicle with which
it is supplied or on other vehicles
of the same model. Never use
the jack for other purposes, such
as lifting other car models. Never
use the jack to carry out repairs
under the vehicle. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause
the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label.
141) Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any
kind between rim and tyre. Check
tyre and spare wheel pressure
regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical
specifications" section.142) No tools other than the crank
provided should be used with
the spare wheel lifting device; it
should be operated by hand only.
143) On versions equipped with
self-levelling air suspension, never
introduce the head or hands in
the wheel arch: the vehicle could
raise or lower automatically
depending on possible load or
temperature changes.
144) The device should only be
operated by hand, without using
any type of tool other than the
crank provided, like pneumatic or
electrical screwers.
145) The moving components of the
jack (screw and joints) can also
cause injuries: do not touch them.
If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.146) At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel,
after having checked the correct
positioning of the wheel under the
platform (white notch inside the
window on the device), the key
must be extracted, taking care not
to turn it in the wrong direction
to facilitate the extraction of the
key itself, to prevent the
attachment device from being
released and the wheel assembly
not being securely retained fig.
188.
147) Each time the spare wheel is
moved, check that it is correctly
positioned in its housing under
the platform. If it is not correctly
positioned, this could adversely
affect safety.

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
44)158) 159)
❒When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph "Replacing fuses" in this
chapter.
❒before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒always check the headlight beam
direction after changing a bulb;
IMPORTANT A slight misting may
appear on the internal surface of the
headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature
and the degree of humidity in the air.
Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The
presence of drops inside the headlights
indicates infiltration of water. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
44) Halogen bulbs must be handled
by holding the metallic part only.
Touching the transparent part
of the bulb with your fingers may
reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the
lifespan of the bulb. In the event
of accidental contact, wipe the
bulb with a cloth moistened with
alcohol and let the bulb dry.
WARNING
158) Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that are not
carried out properly or do not take
the system technical
specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
159) Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas; in the case of
breakage they may burst.
201

ENGINE OIL
47)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
The oil level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the dipstick B
fig. 237 - fig. 238 - fig. 239.
The range between the MIN and MAX
marks corresponds to about 1 litre
of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
mark, add oil through the filler A fig. 237
- fig. 238 - fig. 239, until it reaches the
MAX mark.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine
needs to be run in, therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000–6,000
km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the
conditions under which the vehicle is
used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine run for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
switching it off before checking the
level.
IMPORTANT Always top up using
engine oil of the same specifications as
that already in the engine.ENGINE COOLANT
48)
177)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is to low, operate as follows:
❒remove the plastic cover A fig. 240,
rotating the locking screws B fig.
240 counter-clockwise, to access the
filler of the reservoir;
❒slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50%
PARAFLU
UP
from PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS through the reservoir
filler C fig. 237 - fig. 238 - fig. 239
until the level is close to MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UP
and
distilled water gives freeze protection
up to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used in particularly
harsh weather conditions, we
recommend using a 60-40 mixture of
PARAFLU
UP
and demineralised water.
