2016 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER suspension

E - extension for spanner
F - screwdriver grip
G - screwdriver bit
❒if the tool container is not provided,
for special trim versions, a bag
containing the above tools may be
provided;
❒for versions with alloy rims, remove
the press-fitted hub cap;
❒take the extension for spanner, the
bolt spanner and the rod for spanner
from the tool container;
❒with the tools assembled correctly,
loosen the fixing bolts for the wheel
to be changed by one turn;
❒turn the ring nut to partly extend the
jack;❒arrange the jack near the lift support
closest to the wheel to be replaced
at the points shown in fig. 181.
For short wheelbase versions with
retractable footboard, the jack must
be positioned at the lift point shown
in fig. 183 aligned (45°) so that it
does not interfere with the retractable
footboard;
❒warn all bystanders that the vehicle is
about to be lifted. They must stay
clear and not touch the vehicle until it
is back on the ground.❒for versions equipped with
self-levelling air suspension, before
raising the vehicle with the jack,
press buttons A and B fig. 184
simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.
The operating mode for raising the
vehicle is activated: the LEDs on the
buttons come on constantly. To
exit this mode, press buttons A and
B simultaneously for another 5
seconds; both LEDs on the buttons
will go out and full system operation
will be restored. This mode
deactivates automatically when the
speed of approx. 5 km/h is
exceeded.

IN AN EMERGENCY

151) No tools other than the crank
provided should be used with
the spare wheel lifting device; it
should be operated by hand only.
152) On versions equipped with
self-levelling air suspension, never
introduce the head or hands in
the wheel arch: the vehicle could
raise or lower automatically
depending on possible load or
temperature changes.
153) The device should only be
operated by hand, without using
any type of tool other than the
crank provided, like pneumatic or
electrical screwers.
154) The moving components of the
jack (screw and joints) can also
cause injuries: do not touch them.
If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.155) At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel,
after having checked the correct
positioning of the wheel under the
platform (yellow notch inside the
window on the device), the
spanner must be extracted, taking
care not to turn it in the wrong
direction (as in fig. 190) to
facilitate the extraction of the
spanner itself, to prevent the
attachment device from being
released and the wheel assembly
not being securely retained.
156) Each time the spare wheel is
moved, check that it is correctly
positioned in its housing under
the platform. If it is not correctly
positioned, this could adversely
affect safety.
157) The spare wheel lifting device
is equipped with a clutch safety
system for its own protection; this
could activated if an excessive
load is applied on the
maneuvering screw.FIX&GO
AUTOMATIC QUICK
TYRE REPAIR KIT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Fix & Go automatic quick tyre
repair kit is positioned at the front of the
vehicle passenger compartment and
includes fig. 195:
❒bottle A containing sealer and fitted
with:
– a transparent filler pipe B;
– a black pressure restoring pipe E;
– sticker C bearing the notice “max. 80
km/h”, to be placed in a position visible
to the driver (on the instrument panel)
after fixing the tyre;

IN AN EMERGENCY

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. 249:
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.
