2017 FIAT DUCATO locking

SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when
using this component. Under the
bonnet there is also a label that
summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when
the key is removed from the ignition
device.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an antenna
built into the ignition device. The
signal, which changes each time the
engine is started, is the “password”,
by means of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started turning
the ignition key toMAR-ON, the Fiat
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised
the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
control module.
Irregular operation
If the code has not been recognised
correctly during starting, the
warning light on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by the
corresponding message on the display
(see the “Warning lights and messages”
chapter).
In this case, turn the key toSTOPand
then back toMAR; if the lock
continues, try with the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start
the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by the
system's control unit. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have new keys (up to 8)
stored with a code.

WARNING
1)Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of them
either in the correct containers as specified
by law or by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with their
disposal.
IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 3:
STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) can operate;
MAR-ON: driving position. All
electrical devices are enabled;
AVV: engine starting (unstable
position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety system that requires
the ignition key to be turned back
to STOP if the engine will not start,
before the starting operation can be
repeated.
2) 3) 4) 5)
STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove the
key and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON
WARNING
2)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by a Fiat Dealership before
driving again.
3)Always remove the key when you leave
your vehicle to prevent someone from
accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake.
Engage first gear if the vehicle is parked
uphill or reverse gear if the vehicle is
parked downhill. Never leave children
unattended in the vehicle.
4)Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel will lock as
soon as it is turned. This also applies
to cases in which the vehicle is towed.

5)Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations be carried out
involving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device). This could negatively
affect performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty, cause serious safety
problems and also result in vehicle
non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.ELECTRONIC ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote
control functions described previously,
is controlled by the receiver located
under the dashboard near the fuse box.
Activation
With the doors and bonnet closed and
the ignition key either turned to STOP
or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and
press and release the lock button.
Excluding some markets, the system
produces an acoustic signal (beep) and
enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is
preceded by an self-diagnosis stage: if
a fault is detected, the system
produces another acoustic signal.
In this case, turn the alarm off by
pressing the "release doors/release
load compartment" button, check that
the doors and bonnet are properly
closed and turn the alarm back on by
pressing the lock button.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly
shut, it will be excluded from the testing
by the alarm system.If the alarm produces an acoustic signal
even when the doors and bonnet are
correctly closed, a fault has occurred in
the operation of the system. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not come
on when the central locking is activated
using the metal insert in the key.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to
meet requirements in various countries.
Turning off
Press the door release/load
compartment release button on the key
with remote control.
The following operations are performed
(excluding some markets):
direction indicators flash twice;
there are two short acoustic signals
(beeps);
doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not switch
off when the central opening is
activated using the metal insert in the
key.

Disabling
To permanently disable the alarm (e.g.
during a long period of inactivity), simply
lock the vehicle by turning the metal
insert of the key with remote control in
the lock.
IMPORTANT If the batteries of the key
with the remote control run out or
the system fails, the alarm can
be switched off by placing the key in

LOCKING/UNLOCKING
THE LOAD
COMPARTMENT
The activation of the locking is signalled
by the LED in the button.
The LED comes on in the following
cases:
after each door lock command from
the D fig. 8 or
button on the
dashboard;
when the instrument panel is
activated;
upon opening of one of the front
doors;
when the door is locked at 20 km/h
(if activated from the menu).
The lock is turned off when one of the
load compartment doors is opened
or on a door release request (load
compartment or centralised) or
an unlocking request from the remote
control/door catch.
DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It is a safety device that disables
operation of the interior handles.

9)Before setting off after parking or before
moving the vehicle in any way, ensure
the footboard is fully stowed away.
Because the movement of the footboard is
controlled by that of the sliding side door,
incomplete stowing of the footboard or
non-closure of the rear doors is indicated
by the lighting of a warning light
on
the instrument panel.
10)This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were designed for
optimum comfort. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs and let the doors close
spontaneously.
11)With the doors opened to 180 degrees,
no locking system is effective. Do not use
this opening with the vehicle parked on
a gradient or when it is windy.
12)It is forbidden to drive the vehicle with
the footboard open.
13)Do not use the retracted footboard for
getting up or down the load compartment.
14)Make sure that the footboard is suitably
locked by the provided retaining systems
before, after and during its use. An
incomplete opening or closing might cause
an improper movement of the footboard
with risks arising for the operator and
external users.
15)The footboard lightly projects from the
vehicle even if retracted; therefore, when
rear parking sensors are provided, their
operating range is lightly reduced.
WARNING
2)The footboard presence may reduce the
ramp approach angles; it is therefore
recommended, in case of a very steep
ramp, to be very careful in order not to
damage the footboard.
SEATS

After the sliding and removal
operations, the seat should be refitted
and secured to the rails on the floor
before driving, as follows:
fit the base on the rails;
push the latch lever downwards fig.
30 with sufficient force, until the system
locks.IMPORTANT The locking system is only
secured when the safety clip under
the lever locks it horizontally. If this does
not happen, check that the seat is in
the exact locking position in relation to
the rail (moving the seat backwards
or forwards a few millimetres until it is
properly attached). Once the
quick-release base is locked in position,
it will be as in the first stage, in other
words with the retaining lever perfectly
parallel to the floor guaranteeing that
the seat is securely fastened in the
selected position.
The seat can be turned 180º toward
the seat on the opposite side. To turn it,
see the "Seat with revolving base"
paragraph.4-SEATER BENCH SEAT
(Crew Cab Van versions)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
