SPEED LIMITER
This device allows the vehicle speed to
be limited to a value set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with vehicle stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.When the device is active, the vehicle
speed depends on the accelerator
pedal, until the programmed speed limit
is reached (see "Speed limit
programming" paragraph).
If necessary (in the event of overtaking
for example), the set speed limit can
be exceeded by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal.
By gradually reducing the pressure on
the accelerator pedal, the function
will be reactivated as soon as the
vehicle speed drops below the
programmed speed.
Turning the device on
To turn the device on, turn the ring A
fig. 133 to the
position.
When the device is turned on, the
warning light on the instrument
panel turns on and, on some versions,
a message and the last programmed
speed value appears on the display.Automatic device disable
The device is disabled automatically in
the event of fault in the system.
WARNING
121)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
122)If the device is faulty, turn ring nut A
toO, check the condition of the fuse

SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a speed
limitation function that can be set at the
user's request to one of 4 predefined
values: 90, 100, 110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Following the operation, a sticker will be
applied to the windscreen showing the
maximum speed setting.
IMPORTANT The speedometer could
indicate a higher maximum speed than
the effective one, set by the Dealership,
in accordance with the regulations in
force.
PARKING SENSORS
The parking sensors are located in the
rear bumper fig. 134 and serve to
inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic signal, about the
presence of obstacles behind the
vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets
closer to the bumper, the frequency
of the acoustic signal increases.
ACOUSTIC WARNING
When reverse gear is engaged an
intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The acoustic warning:
increases as the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle decreases;
becomes continuous when the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increases;
it remains constant if the distance
remains unchanged; if this situation
concerns the side sensors, the buzzer
will stop after about 3 seconds to
avoid, for example, warning indications
in the event of manoeuvres along
walls.
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
FAULT INDICATIONS
When reverse is engaged, any parking
sensor faults will be indicated by the
warning light on the instrument panel
or by the
icon on the display
and by the message in the multifunction
display (for versions/markets, where
provided)
OPERATION WITH A
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is
automatically deactivated when the
electric cable plug of the trailer is
inserted into the vehicle tow hook
socket.

IMPORTANT NOTES
IMPORTANT In some circumstances,
such as with ice, snow or mud on
the surface of the camera, its sensitivity
may be reduced.
IMPORTANT If the rear doors need to
be re-painted after the repairs, make
sure the paint does not get in contact
with the plastic support of the camera.IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the operating range of
the camera.
WARNING
124)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
27)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.

ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
ADBLUE (UREA)
System description
The vehicle is equipped with an UREA
fuel injection system and a Selective
Catalytic Reduction catalyst to meet the
emission standards.
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.
VERSION WITH
METHANE SYSTEM
(Natural Power)
38) 39)
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).
The cylinders must be inspected, in
accordance with ECE Regulation
Procedure no. 110, every 4 years
from the vehicle registration date or
in accordance with specific
regulations in individual countries.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. 140
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. 141 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.

STARTING AND DRIVING

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
door 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
to 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.
You are advised to fit a suitable
stabiliser to the trailer drawbar.
In the vehicles equipped with parking
sensors, after fitting the tow hook
malfunctioning warnings may be
displayed, as some parts (tow bar, ball
tow hook) may be within the sensor
detection range. In this case the
detection range must be adjusted or
the parking assistance function must be
deactivated.
In vehicles equipped with "Comfort-
matic" transmission, make sure that the
gearbox is in neutral (N) (checking that
the vehicle moves when pushed) and
proceed in the same way as for towing
a normal vehicle with manual
transmission. If the gearbox cannot be
put in neutral, do not tow the vehicle
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
137) 138)
INSTALLING THE TOW
HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised technicians
according to any additional and/or
integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to Directive
94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must match the towable weight of the
vehicle on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a standard
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device,
and a special ECU for external trailer
light control must be installed on the
vehicle. For the electrical connection, 7
or 13 pin 12 V DC connections are to
be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions
provided by the vehicle manufacturer
and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.
Any electric brake (or electric winch,
etc.) should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a section
of at least 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brakes or other
devices must be used with engine
running.
