LOW DIESEL EMISSIONS ADDITIVE (UREA) LEVEL
WARNING
The first low level warning is given at around 1,200
km range and is determined according to the current
consumption rate. The UREA low level warning light
and message for topping up are shown on the
instrument panel. The UREA low level warning light
remains lit until the UREA tank is topped up with at
least 3 litres of UREA.
If topping up is not executed, an additional warning
appears at the following km left until the UREA tank is
empty: 400 km, 320 km, 240 km.
When 200 km are remaining before the UREA tank
is empty, a continuous message appears on the
instrument panel accompanied by an acoustic warning
sound.
When the range is 0 km, the display (for versions/
markets where provided) will show a dedicated
message. In this case, the vehicle speed is limited to
50 km/h and, after turning it off, it is not possible to
restart the vehicle.
It is possible to restart the engine again as soon as
the UREA is topped up (the minimum amount to be
added is 3 litres).
48)
Top up the UREA tank as soon as possible with at
least 3 litres of UREA. If topping up is done with
autonomy tank UREA to zero, you must wait 2 minutes
before starting the vehicle.
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Diesel versions)
The symbol switches on constantly while driving (along
with a message in the display), to indicate the
presence of water in the diesel filter

It consists of an instantly inflating bag
contained in a special recess in the
dashboard fig. 101 which has a larger
volume than that of the driver.

AIRBAG AND CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
100)
Rearward facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front
seat with an active passenger airbag
since in the event of an impact the
airbag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor fig. 102.Manual deactivation of
front passenger side
airbag and side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must necessarily be carried on
the front seat in a rear-facing child
restraint system, the front passenger
airbag and side bag (for versions/
markets, where provided) can be
deactivated.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the
front passenger airbag and side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided),
refer to the "Display" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter. The LED on the button
switches on in case of deactivation.
The LED that corresponds to the
symbol
fig. 103 on the dashboard
indicates the passenger's protection
status. If the LED is off, the passenger
side protection is activated.When the front passenger airbag and
side bag (for versions/markets, where
provided) are activated again, the
warning light turns off.
When the vehicle is started (key in MAR
position), the LED turns on for approx.
8 seconds, provided that at least 5
seconds have elapsed from the
previous switching off. If not, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is switched off/on again in
less than 5 seconds the LED may
remain off. In this case, to check
correct LED operation, switch the
vehicle off, wait at least 5 seconds and
switch on again.
During the first 8 seconds, the
activation of the LED does not actually
show the passenger protection status,
but only checks its correct operation.

SAFETY
WARNING
123)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.
WARNING
26)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free
from any 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. Also, do not apply stickers to
the camera.

The system automatically detects the
recognisable traffic signs: speed limits,
no overtaking signs and signs indicating
the end of such prohibitions.
The camera is fitted behind the internal
rear view mirror. The sensor always
checks the traffic signs indicating the
current speed limit and possible no
overtaking signs.
IMPORTANT The system is designed to
read signs complying with the
specifications of the Vienna convention.

STARTING AND DRIVING
These two systems ensure compliance
with the diesel emissions requirements;
at the same it maintains fuel saving
levels, driveability, torque and power.
For the system messages and warnings
refer to the "Warning lights and
messages" paragraph in the "Knowing
the instrument panel" section.
Notes
When you stop the vehicle you
could hear a distinct click coming from
under the vehicle due to the UREA
injection system, this is normal.
The UREA injection system pump
continues to operate for a short period
of time after the engine is switched
off, to purge the circuit. This is normal,
and you can still hear its noise from
under the vehicle.

METHANE SYSTEM
(Natural Power)
37) 38)
INTRODUCTION
The "Natural Power" version of the Fiat
Ducato features two fuel system, one
primary natural gas (methane) system
and one emergency petrol system.
METHANE CYLINDERS
The vehicle is equipped with five
cylinders (total capacity of about 218
litres) located under the vehicle floor
and protected by two special shields.
The cylinders are the tank that contains
the methane in its compressed
gaseous state (nominal pressure of 200
bar at 15°C). The methane, stored in
the cylinders at high pressure, flows
through a dedicated pipe to reach the
pressure regulator/reduction unit which
supplies the 4 methane injectors at
low pressure (about 6 bar).
IMPORTANT If gas is smelled, switch
from methane operation to petrol
operation and immediately go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the vehicle checked
and possible system faults excluded.FUEL SWITCHING
LOGICS
Management of switching between the
two different fuel supplies is fully
automatic, and carried out by the
engine control unit.
When the residual amount of methane
drops below 1/5 of the cylinder
capacity, the lowest level and the edges
of the other levels flash to indicate the
reserve state and that refuelling fig. 119
is required.
If the methane runs out, it is
automatically switched to petrol; on the
display, all the empty segments stop
flashing and then the
indicator near
the CNG icon fig. 120 turns on.
Having reached the reserve methane
pressure threshold, and completely
filled the methane tank, the system
forces the switch to petrol for 5
seconds, with the aim of keeping the
petrol fuel supply system fully efficient.
