How To Warm Up The Engine After It Has Just Started (Petrol And Diesel Versions); Emergency Start-Up - Fiat Ducato Owner's Handbook Manual

If you still cannot start the engine,
get in touch with a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the outside
temperature is low, it is important to
note that the use of a more fluid oil
will facilitate starting the cold engine.
Therefore, in winter, follow the advice
in chapter "Technical specifications",
paragraph "Fluids and lubricants".
IMPORTANT Never leave the igni-
tion key at MAR when the engine is off.
Minibus and School Bus versions:
press the ignition enable button lo-
cated to the left of the steering col-
umn as shown in the specific supple-
ment to this handbook.
HOW TO WARM UP
THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED
(petrol and diesel versions)
– Begin to move forward slowly let-
ting the engine turn at medium revs.
Do not accelerate abruptly.
– Do not push the engine to its lim-
it for the first few kilometres. You are
recommended to wait until the
coolant temperature indicator starts
to move.

EMERGENCY START-UP

If the Fiat CODE system fails to
recognise that code transmitted by the
ignition key (warning light Y on the
instrument panel lit) the emergency
start-up can be performed by using the
CODE card code.
See the "In an emergency" section.
Catalysed vehicles must
not be bump started
(pushed, towed or coast-
ed downhill) as this could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it be-
yond repair.
WARNING
Remember that until the
engine has started the
brake booster and power steering
systems will not work and a greater
effort will therefore be required to
depress the brake pedal or turn the
steering wheel.
