JACKING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle is to be lifted, go to a Fiat
Dealership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
Jack up the vehicle only by positioning the
jack arms or the shop jack in the points
shown in the figure.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
The vehicle has two eyes for anchoring the
towing device.
When towing, remember that
without the help of the brake
booster and power steering, a greater
effort is required on the pedal and
steering wheel. Do not use flexible ca-
bles for towing and avoid jerks. During
towing operations make sure that fas-
tening the joint to the vehicle does not
damage the components in contact
with it. When towing the vehicle, you
must comply with the specific traffic
regulations regarding the tow ring and
how to tow on the road.

Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
involved immediately with neutral
soap and water, then rinse thor-
oughly. Call the doctor immediately
if the fluid is swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol πon the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
brake fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral kind. Using mineral fluids ir-
reversibly damages the special brak-
ing system rubber seals.
WARNING
POWER STEERING
FLUID fig. 10
Check whether the fluid level in the tank
is at max. level. This operation should be
carried out with the vehicle on level
ground, engine not running and cold.
Check whether the fluid level is at MAX
mark on the dipstick integral with the tank
cap (for cold check use the level shown
on the 20 °C side on the dipstick).If the fluid level in the reservoir is below
the specified level, top up with one of the
products specified in table “Fluids and lu-
bricants” in section “Technical Specifica-
tions”, proceed as follows:
❒Start the engine and wait until the flu-
id level in the reservoir has stabilized.
❒With the engine started, turn repeat-
edly the steering wheel fully right-
wards and leftwards.
❒Top up until reaching the MAXmark
then refit the cap.
fig. 10F0N0109m
Do not allow the power
steering fluid to touch the
hot parts of the engine: it is inflam-
mable.
WARNING
Do not press down the pow-
er steering with the engine
running for over 8 seconds,
noise and risk of damages will
result.
Power steering fluid con-
sumption is extremely low. If
the fluid level needs topping
up again after a short period
of time, have the system checked for
leakage at a Fiat Dealership.
AIR CLEANER
Air cleaner replacement shall be carried
out at Fiat Dealership.
AIR FILTER – DUSTY ROADS
(where necessary)
The air filter specific for dusty areas is
equipped with a visual blockage signalling
device A-fig. 11. It is therefore necessary
to periodically check the blockage sensor
indicator (Please refer to the “Pro-
grammed Maintenance Plan” shown in the
Chapter “Maintenance and care”)

MAINTENANCE
Fabric upholstery of your Fiat
Ducato is purpose-made to
withstand common wear re-
sulting from normal use of the
vehicle. It is however absolutely neces-
sary to prevent hard and/or prolonged
scratching/scraping caused by clothing
accessories like metallic buckles, studs,
“Velcro” fixings, etc. that stressing lo-
cally the fabric could break yarns and
damage the upholstery as a conse-
quence.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
AND VELVET PARTS
Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to re-
move dust. Velvet is cleaned better if the
brush is moistened.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral de-
tergent.Never use flammable prod-
ucts like oil ether or rectified
petrol for cleaning vehicle interiors.
Electrostatic discharges generated by
rubbing during cleaning operations
could cause fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the vehicle: they might ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must never be ex-
posed to a temperature above 50° C.
The temperature inside the vehicle
exposed to the sun may go well be-
yond that figure.
WARNING
INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped
under the mats (due to water dripping off
shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause
oxidisation of the sheet metal.STEERING WHEEL/GEAR LEVER
KNOB WITH GENUINE
LEATHER COVERING
These components shall only be cleaned
with water and neutral soap.
Never use spirit or alcohol-based prod-
ucts.
Before using special products for clean-
ing interiors, read carefully label instruc-
tions and indications to make sure they
are free from spirit and/or alcohol-based
substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with spe-
cial glass products, some drops fall on the
leather covering of the steering wheel/gear
lever knob remove them immediately and
then clean with water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care when
engaging the steering lock to prevent
scratching the leather covering.
For routine cleaning of interior plastic parts
use a soft cloth moistened with water and
neutral soap. Remove grease or persisting
stains using appropriate solvent-free prod-
ucts designed to preserve appearance and
colour of plastic components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-
leum to clean the instrument panel.
