2015 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER OIL

❒a digital timer fig. 54 for turning the
heater on manually or for
programming the time that it comes
on.
The additional heater (during winter)
heats, maintains the temperature
of and circulates engine coolant for
a set time period in order to ensure
optimum engine and passenger
compartment conditions at engine
start-up.
The heater can operate
automatically when programmed
with a digital timer or manually
by pressing the 'immediate heating'
button on the timer.
After heater activation, whether
programmed or manually, the
electronic control unit operates the
coolant pump and turns on the
burner in accordance with pre-set,
controlled procedures.
The circulation pump output is also
controlled by the electronic control
unit in order to minimise the initial
heating time.
When the system operates, the
control unit turns on the passenger
compartment heater unit fan at
the second speed.The thermal power of the boiler is
regulated automatically by the
electronic control unit depending on
the temperature of the engine
coolant.
IMPORTANT The heater is
equipped with a thermal limiter that
cuts off combustion in the case of
overheating due to insufficient
coolant/coolant leaks. In this case,
after repairing the fault in the
cooling system and/or topping up
the fluid, press the program
selection button before turning the
heater back on.
The heater can turn off
spontaneously due to misfiring after
start-up or because the flame
goes out during operation. In this
case, carry out the turning off
procedure and try to turn the heater
back on. If it still does not work,
consult a Fiat Dealership.Activation of the
heating system
When an automatic climate control
system is present, the control
unit sets the air temperature and
distribution when the heater is
turned on from the park position.
When a manual heater/climate
control is present, to obtain
maximum heater efficiency, check
that the passenger compartment
heating/ventilation temperature
adjustment knob is in the 'hot air'
position.
To prioritise passenger
compartment pre-heating, set the
air distribution knob to the
position.
To prioritise windscreen demisting,
set the air distribution knob to
position.
To obtain both functions, set the air
distribution knob to
position.

PROVISION FOR
FITTING TELEPASS ON
REFLECTIVE
WINDSCREEN
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
If the vehicle is equipped with a
reflective windscreen, install the
Telepass in the appropriate area
shown in fig. 139 - fig. 140.
WARNING
91) Take care when fitting additional
spoilers, alloy wheels or non-
standard wheel hubs: they could
reduce the ventilation of the
brakes and affect efficiency
during sharp, repeated braking or
on long descents. Make sure
that nothing obstructs the pedal
stroke (mats, etc.)
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
IN BRIEF
Refuel the vehicle exclusively with
diesel for motor vehicles in
compliance with European
specification EN590.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
OPERATION AT LOW
TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very
low, diesel thickens due to the
formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of
the fuel supply system.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
GAUGE
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The gauge provides a graphic
indication of the level of oil in the
engine.
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the display fig. 146 -
fig. 147 shows the oil level by
lighting up / switching off five
symbols.
The gradual switching off of the
symbols indicates a decreasing oil
level.Four or five symbols light up to
indicate a sufficient level of oil in the
sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit,
this does not indicate a fault or that
insufficient oil is present in the
sump.
If the oil level is lower than the
minimum required value, the display
shows a dedicated message
indicating minimum engine oil level
and the need for a top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct
oil quantity, always check using
the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section
“Maintenance and care”).After a few seconds, the symbol
display indicating the amount
of engine oil disappears and:
❒When the next scheduled servicing
intervention is approaching, the
time to the next service is displayed
and the õ symbol lights up on the
display. When the service date is
reached, the display shows a
dedicated message;
❒Later on, if the time for changing the
engine oil is getting close, the
distance until the next oil change will
appear on the display. When the
service interval has expired a
dedicated warning will be shown on
the display.
IMPORTANT
20) If the needle for the engine
coolant temperature reaches the
red area, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

Warning lights on
displayWhat it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the digital warning light switches on,
but it should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with the message in
the display when the system detects that the engine oil pressure is
insufficient.
22)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(MultiJet versions with DPF only)
The warning light starts to flash together with a message on the display
(for versions/markets, where provided) when the system detects that the
engine oil has deteriorated.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the vehicle is faulty,
but simply informs the driver that it is now necessary to change the
engine oil as a result of regular vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, when
a second deterioration threshold is reached, the warning light
also
switches on in the instrument panel and the engine operation is limited to
3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration threshold is
reached, the engine is limited to 1500 rpm to avoid damage.Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
96) 97)
Remember that the
deterioration of the engine
oil is accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the
vehicle which makes the
DPF regeneration process
more frequent
– use of the vehicle for
short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching
operating temperature
– repeated interruption of
the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF
warning light coming on.
