We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat Ducato.

Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding vehicle use and how to achieve the best performance from the
technical features of your Fiat Ducato.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all
with those concerning brakes, steering and transmission; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road
surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and
servicing of your Fiat Ducato over time.
After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on
board the vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty
Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at
Fiat.

READ THIS CAREFULLY
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, due to 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 lightsandto switch 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.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low
running costs over time.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS
... important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your vehicle over time. Special attention
must be paid to the symbols

The dead lock device therefore offers
the best possible protection against
break in attempts. We recommend
engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.

WARNING
28)As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image. Further,
the reflective surface of the lower part
of the exterior mirrors is parabolic to
increase the field of view. The reflected
image size is thus reduced and gives the
impression that the reflected item is further
away than it actually is.
29)When driving the mirrors should always
remain in position 1.

the main beam headlights are
automatically turned off when

position deactivates the function.
If the driving speed is below 15 km/h
and the function is activated, the
function switches the main beam
headlights off. Pulling the stalk again to

interpreted as a request for the main
beam headlights to stay on, therefore
the blue warning light

headlights stay on until the speed
exceeds 40 km/h again. The function is
enabled again automatically when 40
km/h is exceeded
.
If the stalk is pulled again in this
condition, to request main beam
headlight deactivation, the function
remains off and the main beam
headlights switch off.
