2015 FIAT DUCATO four wheel drive

The TPMS uses wireless devices
with electronic sensors mounted on
the wheel rims to constantly
monitor the value of tyre pressure.
The sensors mounted on each
wheel as part of the valve stem
transmit various information of the
tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
WARNING Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in
all four tyres are particularly
important.
Tyre pressure

low pressure
warnings
The system warns the driver if one
or more tyres are flat by switching
on the warning light
on the
instrument panel (together with a
warning message and an acoustic
signal).In this case, stop the vehicle as
soon as possible, check the
inflation pressure of each tyre and
inflate to the cold tyre pressure
value prescribed for the vehicle.
The system will automatically
update and after receiving the tyre
pressure update the tyre pressure
control warning light switches
off. You may need to drive
the vehicle for about 20 minutes at
a speed higher than 20 km/h to
allow the system to receive this
information.
TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by
warning light
which first flashes
for 75 seconds and then stays
on steadily. This can occur in any of
the following situations:
❒interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
❒Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
❒Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
❒Use of snow chains.❒Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
❒The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure
control sensor. Therefore, the tyre
pressure is not controlled by the
system.
❒If the space-saver wheel replaces a
tyre with a pressure lower than the
insufficient pressure limit, an acoustic
signal will be emitted and the warning
light
will switch on at the next
ignition cycle.
❒When the original tyre is repaired or
replaced and it is mounted back on
the vehicle to replace the space-
saver wheel, the TPMS will update
automatically and the warning light
will switch off, provided that the
pressure of none of the four tyres is
below the insufficient pressure limit.
You may need to drive the vehicle for
about 20 minutes at a speed higher
than 20 km/h to allow the TPMS
to receive this information.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
WARNING
69) The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels
provided. TPMS pressures and
alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres
mounted on the vehicle. Using
equipment with different size,
type or kind may cause irregular
system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare
wheels can damage the sensor.
Do not use tyre sealant or
balancing weights if the vehicle is
equipped with TPMS as these
may damage the sensors.
70) If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres.
71) TPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the
tyre pressure every month; it is
not even to be considered a
replacing system for maintenance
or a safety system.72) Tyre pressure must be checked
with tyres cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason
to check pressure with warm
tyres, do not reduce pressure
even if it is higher than the
prescribed value, but repeat the
check when tyres are cold.
73) The TPMS cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (for
example when a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the car, braking
with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
74) The system only warns that the
tyre pressure is low: it is not able
to inflate them.
75) An insufficient tyre inflation
increases fuel consumption,
reduces the tread duration and
may affect the capacity of driving
safely.
76) Always refit the valve stem cap
after inspecting or adjusting tyre
pressure. This prevents dampness
or dirt from entering the valve
stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being
damaged.77) The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go)
provided with the car (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original
kit may adversely affect its
operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one
are used, it is recommended to
have the TPMS sensor operation
checked by a qualified repair
centre.

SNOW TYRES
A Fiat Dealership will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyre for the
customer's requirements.
The performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the
tread depth is less than 4 mm.
Replace them in this case.
Due to the specific characteristics
of snow tyres, in normal weather
conditions or on long motorway
journeys, the performance of these
tyres is lower than that of standard
tyres. Their usage should therefore
be restricted in accordance with
their type approval.
IMPORTANT When using snow
tyres with a maximum speed index
below the one that can be reached
by the vehicle (increased by 5%),
place a notice in the passenger
compartment, plainly in view, which
states the maximum speed allowed
by the snow tyres (as per EC
Directive).All four tyres should be the same
(brand and track) to ensure greater
safety when driving and braking
as well as a good manoeuvrability.
Remember that you should not
change the rotation direction of the
tyres.
139)
WARNING
139) The maximum speed for snow
tyres marked "Q" is 160 km/h,
while it is 190 km/h for "T" tyres
and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. You
should, however, always comply
with the speed limits of the
highway code.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be
in compliance with local regulations
of each country.
Snow chains can be fitted to the
tyres of the front wheels (drive
wheels) only.
Use of Lineaccessori Fiat snow
chains is recommended. Check the
tension of the snow chains after
the first few metres have been
driven.
43)
IMPORTANT With snow chains,
use the accelerator with extreme
care to prevent, or to limit as much
as possible, slipping of the drive
wheels that could cause chain
breakage, resulting in damage to
the car body or mechanical
components.
IMPORTANT For versions fitted with
225/75 R16 tyre, use snow chains
with max. thickness 16 mm.
195
When travelling on snowy roads
with snow chains, it may be helpful
to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these
conditions, the driving wheels
skidding when moving off gives you
better traction.
