Self-Standing Supplementary Heater - Fiat Ducato Owner's Handbook Manual

SELF-STANDING
SUPPLEMENTARY
HEATER
(where provided)
Fiat Ducato can be equipped, upon re-
quest, with two different self-standing
heaters: one is totally automatic whereas
the other is programmable.
AUTOMATIC VERSION
The supplementary heater will activate au-
tomatically with engine turned on and
proper engine coolant and outside tem-
perature conditions. Deactivation is always
automatic.

WARNING
The heater burns fuel in the
same way as the engine,
though, of course, to a lesser degree
and therefore to avoid intoxication
and suffocation, never use the sup-
plementary heater in closed areas,
garages or workshops not equipped
with specific exhaust evacuation de-
vices even for short periods of time.
PROGRAMMABLE VERSION
The supplementary heater is totally inde-
pendent from the engine and can be used
to:
❒ heat the passenger compartment
when the engine is off;
❒ defrost the windows;
❒ heat the engine coolant and conse-
quently the engine before starting.
The system consists of:
❒ diesel burner to heat coolant with ex-
haust fume muffler;
❒ metering pump connected to the ve-
hicle fuel pipes to feed the burner;
❒ heat exchanger connected to the en-
gine cooling system pipes;
