Manual sequential programme<br />
This function enables manual sequential<br />
use of the gearbox merely<br />
moving the selector lever to the left.<br />
Each time the lever is pressed only<br />
one gear is shifted: more than one shift<br />
cannot be obtained.<br />
To avoid overevving or excessively<br />
low engine rpm, the control unit inhibits<br />
requests for gearshifting that<br />
would cause such situations.<br />
Winter driving programme<br />
This programme is engaged by pressing<br />
button WINTER near the<br />
gearshift lever,<br />
in case of driving wheel skidding and<br />
it changes to specific gears.<br />
Starting is possible only in 2 nd gear.<br />
On snowy roads use however snow<br />
chains and/or tyres.<br />
The WINTER function shall always<br />
be off on slopes.<br />
Engine warming up programme<br />
This programme allows the engine to<br />
reach normal operating temperature<br />
in the shortest time possible (depending<br />
on the outside temperature)<br />
highering the gearshifting points, in relation<br />
to engine temperature.<br />
The programme engages automatically<br />
after starting, if the engine temperature<br />
is below 30 °C and it remains<br />
active up to 34 °C.<br />
Excessive gearbox oil<br />
temperature programme<br />
This is activated when the gearbox<br />
oil temperature reaches 120 °C and it<br />
remains active down to 117 °C.<br />
To facilitate oil cooling, this programme<br />
inhibits gearshifting, either up<br />
or down. It is however possible to use<br />
the manual programme.<br />
SAFE DRIVING<br />
In designing <strong>Ducato</strong>, Fiat has made<br />
every effort to come up with a vehicle<br />
able to provide driver and passengers<br />
with top-class levels of safety. Nevertheless<br />
it is always the behaviour of the<br />
person at the wheel that determines<br />
road safety.<br />
In the following pages you will find<br />
some simple tips to help you travel in<br />
safety under different conditions. You<br />
will no doubt be familiar with many of<br />
them already but it will be useful to<br />
read them all carefully.<br />
