2015 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER coolant level

INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Turn D knob to
.
It is advisable to switch the internal
air recirculation on whilst queuing
or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. Do not
use the function for a long time,
particularly if there are many
passengers on board, to prevent
the windows from misting up.
IMPORTANT Internal air
recirculation makes it possible to
reach the required heating or
cooling conditions more quickly
depending on the mode selected.Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it
would considerably increase the
possibility of the windows misting
inside.
SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Before
summer, have the system checked
at a Fiat Dealership.NoteThe system uses R134a coolant
which does not pollute the environment
in the event of accidental leakage.
Never use R12 fluid, which is not
compatible with the system
components.
AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
GENERAL
INFORMATION
The automatic climate control
system adjusts the temperature,
the quantity and the distribution of
the air in the passenger
compartment.
The temperature control is based
on the "equivalent temperature": in
other words, the system
continuously works to keep the
comfort level inside the vehicle
constant and to compensate for
possible variations in outside
conditions, including the sun's rays
detected by a dedicated sensor.
The automatically controlled
parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow);

ADDITIONAL
HEATER
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
On some versions, an additional
heater is also present beneath the
driver's seat. The fan for this heater
is operated by means of the button
F located on the control panel fig.
53.
INDEPENDENT
ADDITIONAL
HEATER
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The vehicle is available, on request,
with two different independent
heaters: one fully automatic, the
other which can be programmed.
AUTOMATIC VERSION
The additional heater is turned on in
automatic mode when the engine
is started and the required outside
temperature and coolant conditions
are present. Deactivation is always
automatic.
21)
IMPORTANT During periods with
low outdoor temperatures when the
device cuts in, check that the fuel
level is always higher than the
reserve level. Otherwise the device
could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.PROGRAMMABLE
VERSION
The additional heater operates
completely independently of engine
operation and allows the following:
❒heating the passenger compartment
with the engine off
❒defrosting the windows;
❒heat the engine coolant and then the
engine itself prior to starting.
The system consists of:
❒a diesel burner for heating the water
with an exhaust silencer for the
combustion gases;
❒a metering pump connected to the
reservoir pipes for supplying the
burner;
❒a heat exchanger connected to the
engine cooling system pipes;
❒a control unit connected to the
passenger compartment
heating/ventilation system to allow
automatic operation;
❒an electronic control unit for
controlling and adjusting the built-in
burner;

Hold button 4 pressed again. At the
same time press button 3 or 8.
The preset activation duration
is displayed and warning light 9 or
2 flashes.
Set the activation duration with
button 3 or 8.
The set activation duration is stored
as soon as the text in the display
disappears, or pressing button 4.
Switching the heating
system off
Deactivation of the system,
depending on the type of activation
(automatic or manual), may be:
❒automaticwhen the programmed
duration is over; when the set time
is over, the display switches off.
❒manualpressing the “immediate
heating” button on the timer again
(flame button 6).
In both cases, the heating warning
light, the display lighting and the
passenger compartment heater fan
go off and burning stops.The fluid circulation pump
continues to work for around two
minutes to dissipate as much
heat as possible; the heater can be
turned back on during this stage.
22)
IMPORTANT The parking heater
goes off when battery voltage is low
to allow the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level
is above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components
may be damaged at higher
temperatures.❒Whilst the heater is operating with the
engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running
for a while to make sure that the
battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the
instructions in the "Vehicle
maintenance" chapter, "Engine
coolant system fluid" paragraph. The
water in the heating circuit must
contain a minimum percentage of
10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, consult
only a Fiat Dealership and use only
original parts.MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked
regularly at a Fiat Dealership (and
always at the start of every winter).
This will guarantee safe and
economic operation of the heater
as well as a long duration.
