2015 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER wheel

WARNING
153) Give the instruction booklet to
the tyre repair workshop
personnel.
154) Punctures on the sides of the
tyre cannot be repaired. Do not
use the quick tyre repair kit if the
damage is due to running with flat
tyre.
155) If the wheel rim has been
damaged (bent so as to cause air
to leak), the wheel cannot be
repaired. Do not remove the
foreign body (screws or nails)
from the tyre.
156) Do not use the compressor for
more than 20 consecutive
minutes. Risk of overheating.
Tyres repaired with the quick tyre
repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not
suitable for a definitive repair.157) The bottle contains ethylene
glycol. It contains latex that might
cause allergic reactions. It is
harmful if swallowed. It is irritant
for the eyes. It may cause
sensitisation if inhaled or on
contact. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothes. In the event of
contact, wash immediately with
plenty of water. Do not induce
vomiting if swallowed. Rinse your
mouth and drink plenty of water.
Call a doctor immediately. Keep
out of the reach of children. The
product must not be used by
asthmatics. Do not breathe in the
vapours during insertion and
suction. Call a doctor immediately
if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the bottle in its proper
compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealant has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
158) Wear the protective gloves
provided together with the quick
tyre repair kit.
159) affix the adhesive label in an
easy-to-see position for the driver
as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not
exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.160) If the pressure falls below 3
bars, do not drive any further: the
Fix & Go automatic quick tyre
repair kit cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
161) You must inform the dealership
that the tyre has been repaired
using the quick tyre repair kit.
Give the booklet to the personnel
who will be handling the tyre
treated with the repair kit.
162) If different tyres from the ones
supplied with the vehicle are
used, it may not be possible to
carry out the repair. If the tyres
are replaced, it is advisable to use
those approved by the
manufacturer. Consult a Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
44) Punctures caused by foreign
bodies can be repaired if the
damage does not exceed 4 mm on
the tread and on the shoulder of
the tyre.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the space-saver wheel,
approximately every two weeks and
before long journeys: the pressure
should be checked with the tyre
rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to
increase when the vehicle is used;
for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see “Wheels” in the
“Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear fig. 246:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when
the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick.
In any case, follow the laws in
force in the country you are in.

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking and screech starts. Be
careful not to hit the kerb, potholes or
other hard obstacles. Driving for
long stretches over uneven roads can
damage the tyres;
❒periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if required;
❒avoid overloading the car when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;❒tyres age even if they are not used a
great deal. Cracks in the tread and
on the side walls are a sign of ageing.
In any event, have the tyres checked
by specialised personnel if they
have been fitted for longer than 6
years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❒in the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
❒if a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10–15
thousand kilometres, keeping them
on the same side of the vehicle so as
not to reverse the direction of
rotation.
IMPORTANT Replacing a tyre,
check that the tyre pressure
monitoring (TPMS) sensor is also
taken from the previous rim,
together with the valve.

WARNING
193) Remember that the road
holding qualities of your vehicle
also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
194) If the pressure is too low, the
tyre will overheat and could be
seriously damaged.
195) Avoid switching the tyres from
the right side of the vehicle to the
left side and vice versa.
196) Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments requiring
the use of temperatures
exceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel
supply system rubber hoses are
concerned, follow the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan" in this chapter
carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and
prolonged lack of fluid in the
system may cause hardening and
cracking of the hoses, with possible
leaks. Careful checking is therefore
necessary.
WINDSCREEN
WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part
using special products; TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber
edge is deformed or worn. In any
case, it is advisable to replace them
approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can
reduce the possibility of damage to
the blades:
❒if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber against the glass. Use a
de-icing product to release it if
required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in
addition to protecting the blades,
this prevents effort on the motor and
overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
