2015 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER height

CARRYING
CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event
of an impact, all passengers must
be seated and wearing adequate
restraint systems.
This is even more important for
children.
This prescription is compulsory in
all EC countries according to EC
Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, a child's
head is proportionally larger and
heavier than the rest of the body,
while muscles and bone structure
are not fully developed. Therefore,
correct restraint systems are
necessary which are different from
adult seat belts.
The results of research on the best
child restraint systems are
contained in the European
Standard ECE-R44, which enforces
the use of restraint systems
classified into five groups:
Group Weight range
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
As you can see, the groups overlap
partly and, in fact, there are devices
on sale that cover more than one
weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with
the control mark, on a label solidly
fixed to the child restraint system
which must never be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems,
children are considered as adults
and wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are
recommended, having been
specifically designed for Fiat
vehicles.
108)
GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
facing backwards on a cradle
seat, which, supporting the head,
does not induce stress on the neck
in the event of sharp decelerations.
The cradle is restrained by the
vehicle's seat belts, as shown in fig.
158 and it must restrain the child
in turn with its own belts.

SAFETY

GROUP 1
Children from 9 kg to 18 kg in
weight can be carried facing
forwards if the child restraint
system is fitted with a front cushion,
through which the vehicle's seat
belt restrains both child and seat
fig. 159.
109) 110)
GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use
the vehicle's seat belts directly
fig. 160.The child restraint system is now
needed only to position the child
correctly with respect to the belts
so that the diagonal section
crosses the child's chest and never
the neck, and the lower part is
snug on the pelvis not the
abdomen.
109)
GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg to 36 kg in
weight the size of the child's chest
no longer requires a support to
space the child's back from the
backrest.
The fig. 161 shows the correct child
positioning on the rear seat.
109)
Children over 1.50 m in height can
wear seat belts like adults.

Replacing the
windscreen wiper
blades
54)
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the wiper arm, press tab A fig.
247 of the attachment spring and
remove the blade from the arm;
❒fit the new blade, inserting the tab
into the special slot in the arm,
making sure that it is locked;
❒lower the wiper arm on the
windscreen.
SPRAY NOZZLES
Windscreen (washer)
fig. 248
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly
check that there is fluid in the
reservoir: (see "Checking levels" in
this chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes
are not clogged; use a needle
to unblock them if necessary.
The washer jets should be
positioned by adjusting the angle of
the sprays using a small straight-
headed screwdriver.
The jets should be directed at
about a third of the height from the
top edge of the windscreen.HEADLIGHT WASHERS
Check the correct condition and
cleanliness of nozzles at regular
intervals.
The headlight washers come on
automatically when the windscreen
washer is operated with the low
beams on.
WARNING
197) Driving with worn windscreen
wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in
bad weather conditions.
IMPORTANT
54) Do not operate the windscreen
wiper with the blades lifted from
the windscreen.
