001-104 Ducato MY GB - iinet

WARNING
Even if the vehicle is stationary
on a steep hill or
sideways incline, goods not properly
secured could fall out when the
back or side doors are opened.
WARNING
Observe the enforced rules
if you need to carry a spare
can of petrol. Only use a homologated
can and secure it to the load
anchoring eyebolts. Even given
these precautions, the risk of fire in
the event of an accident is increased.
In addition to these general precautions,
some simple measures could enhance
driving safety, comfort and the
length of the vehicle’s life:
– distribute the load evenly over the
load floor: if you need to concentrate
it all in one point choose the part between
the axles;
– remember that the lower the load
is, the lower the vehicle’s centre of
gravity will be, contributing to a safe
drive; you should therefore always position
the heavier goods at the bottom;
– finally, remember that the way in
which the vehicle moves is influenced
by the weight being carried. In particular,
stopping distance lengthens particularly
at high speed.
CHEAP RUNNING
THAT RESPECTS
THE ENVIRONMENT
Environmental protection has been
one of the guiding principles in the
production of the Ducato. It is no accident
that its pollution control equipment
is much more effective than that
required by current legislation.
Nonetheless, the environment cannot
get by without a concerted effort
from everyone. By following a few simple
rules you can avoid harming the
environment and often cut down fuel
consumption at the same time.
On this subject, a few useful tips have
been given below to supplement those
marked by symbol # at various points
of the handbook. You are asked to
read both the former and latter carefully.
