2016 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER steering

IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the
vehicle is subject to heavy knocks or
accidents involving the underbody area,
such as for example violent shocks,
against steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
vehicle falling into big potholes or
depressions in the road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust
will be released when the airbags
are deployed. The dust is not harmful
and does not indicate the beginning of
a fire. Furthermore, the surface of the
deployed bag and the interior of the
vehicle may be covered in a dusty
residue: this may irritate your skin and
eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in
the event of exposure.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur
in which any of the safety devices are
activated, take the vehicle to a Fiat
Dealership to have the activated
devices replaced and to have the whole
system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement
operation concerning the airbags must
only be carried out at a Fiat Dealership.If you are having the vehicle scrapped,
have the system deactivated at a Fiat
Dealership first. If the vehicle changes
ownership, the new owner must be
informed of how to use the airbags and
the above warnings and also be given
this "Owner Handbook".
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front
airbags and front side bags are
deployed differently according to the
type of collision. Failure to deploy
of one of the devices does not
necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
121) Never rest your head, arms or
elbows on the doors, on the
windows or in the window bag
area as this could cause injuries
during the inflation phase.
122) Never lean your head, arms and
elbows out of the window.123) If when turning the key to
MAR-ON the warning light
does not turn on or if it stays
on when travelling (together with
the message on the multifunction
display, for versions/markets
where provided), there could be a
fault in the safety systems; in
this event, airbags or
pretensioners may not trigger in
the case of impact or, in a lower
number of cases, they could be
triggered accidentally. Contact a
Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
124) Do not cover the backrest of
the front or rear seats with covers
which are not suitable for use
with side bags.
125) Do not travel carrying objects in
your lap, in front of your chest or
between your lips (pipe, pencils,
etc.). They could cause severe
injury if the airbag is deployed.
126) Always drive keeping your
hands on the steering wheel rim
so that the airbag can inflate
freely if necessary. Do not drive
with your body bent forward.
Keep your back straight against
the backrest.

SAFETY

30) Remember that the brake servo
and power steering are not
operational until the engine has
been started, so you need to apply
much more force than usual to
the brake pedal and steering
wheel.
31) Never start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving
downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter
and damage it beyond repair.
32) A quick burst on the accelerator
before turning off the engine
serves absolutely no practical
purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to
turbocharged engines.
33) In some cases, when the engine
switches off, the fan could
activate for max. 120 seconds.
WARNING
134) It is dangerous to run the
engine in enclosed areas. The
engine takes in oxygen and
releases carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
❒engage a gear (on a slope, engage
first gear if the car is facing uphill or
reverse if it is facing downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the key in the ignition as
this drains the battery. Always remove
the key when you leave the car.
135)
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located to the
left of the driver's seat fig. 172. Pull the
lever upwards to engage the handbrake
and ensure that the vehicle does not
move.
IMPORTANT Make sure that the
handbrake is engaged in such a way as
to ensure the stationing of the vehicle,
especially in the case of steep slopes
and full load.IMPORTANT If this is not the case,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted. If the lever travel
gets longer, contact a Fiat Dealership.
When the handbrake lever is engaged
and the ignition key is in MAR-ON
position, the instrument panel warning
light
will switch on.
Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
❒slightly lift the lever and press release
button A;
❒keep button A pressed and lower the
lever.
The
warning light in the instrument
panel will switch off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying
out this operation to prevent the vehicle
from moving accidentally.

WARNING
170) Never replace a fuse with
another with a higher amp rating;
DANGER OF FIRE. If a general
protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE) is activated, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
171) Before replacing a fuse, make
sure that the ignition key has
been removed and that all the
other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
172) If the replaced fuse blows
again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
173) If a general protection fuse for
safety systems (airbag system,
braking system), power unit
systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering
system blows, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

IN AN EMERGENCY

The front ring is located in the tool box
beneath the passenger side seat. On
versions with Fix&Go kit and without
spare wheel, the tool box is available
only on request for versions/markets
where provided.In the absence of the tool box the
vehicle front tow hook is housed in the
on-board documentation container,
together with the Owner Handbook.
To use it, proceed as follows:
❒Open the flap A and remove it as
illustrated in fig. 236;
❒turn retaining knob B fig. 236
anticlockwise and remove it to allow
the box fig. 237 to come out;
❒take the screwdriver provided from
the box and prise up at the point
shown to raise the cap C fig. 239;
❒take the tow ring D from the box and
screw it onto the threaded pin fig.
239.
The rear ring B fig. 240 is located at the
point shown in the diagram.
WARNING
176) Screw on the tow hook and
check that it stops at the end
of travel position.
177) Before towing, switch off the
steering lock (see "Starting
device" paragraph under the
"Knowing your car" section).
178) Remember that the brake servo
and the electric power steering
are not available during towing
operations. Significantly greater
force must be exerted on the
brake pedal and on the steering
wheel to operate them.
179) Do not use flexible cables for
towing and avoid jerking. During
towing operations, make sure that
the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components.
