001-036 Ducato GB 9-10-2008 9:56 Pagina 1
Dear Customer,
Thank you for selecting Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat Ducato.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all your new Fiat Ducato features and use it in the best possible way.
You should read it right through before taking the road for the first time. You will find information, tips and important warnings re-
garding the driving of your vehicle to help you derive the maximum from your Fiat Ducato technological features.
You are recommended to read carefully the warnings and indications, marked with the respective symbols, at the end of the page:
personal safety;
the vehicle wellbeing;
environmental protection.
The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services that Fiat offers to its Customers:
❒ the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity
❒ the range of additional services available to Fiat Customers.
Best regards and good motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Ducato versions.

As a consequence, you should consider only the information which is related
to the engine and bodywork version of the vehicle you purchased.
001-036 Ducato GB 9-10-2008 9:56 Pagina 2
MUST BE READ!
REFUELLING
Only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
K The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to
the damage caused.
ENGINE STARTING
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal, without
pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the Y and m warning lights to go off;
turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the vehicle over grass, dry leaves, pine
 needles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to
ensure better respect for the environment.
001-036 Ducato GB 9-10-2008 9:56 Pagina 3
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a Fiat
쇵
Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle’s electric system can
support the required load.
CODE card
Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the vehicle. You should always keep the electronic code written on the
CODE card with you.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety fea-
tures, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S MANUAL CONTAINS…

… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your vehicle, and its maintenance.
Pay particular attention to the symbols " (personal safety) # (environmental protection) ! (vehicle wellbeing).

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE

AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environment through
the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view
to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations
imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at
the end of its life span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring
expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the
European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002
on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the
vehicle still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials.
Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality service to our
customers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of your
nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat web
site or call the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.
* Passenger transportation vehicles to seat a max. of nine persons, having a total admissible weight of 3.5 t
