2017 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER engine

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.
34)
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;
a digital timer fig. 63 for turning the
heater on manually or for programming
its turn-on time.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.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

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.
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.

TACHOGRAPH
For tachograph operation and use,
consult the owner handbook supplied
by the device manufacturer. The
tachograph must be installed on the
vehicle when the vehicle weight (with or
without trailer) exceeds 3.5 tons.
IMPORTANT Anyone making changes
to the monitoring device or signal
transmission system that affects
recording by the monitoring instrument,
particularly if this is done for purposes
of fraud, may be in breach of criminal or
administrative state regulations.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if
the vehicle is parked for more than 5
days, it is advisable to disconnect
the negative battery terminal to
maintain its charge.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use abrasive detergents or
solvents to clean the device. To clean
the outside of the device, use a damp
cloth or special products for the care of
synthetic materials.The tachograph is installed and sealed
by authorised personnel: do not try
and access the device or the supply
and recording leads in any way. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the vehicle
on which the tachograph is installed to
check the device regularly.
The check must be carried out at least
every two years and a test must be
carried out to ensure that it is working
properly. Ensure that the data label
is renewed after every check and that
the label contains the specified data.
SELF-LEVELLING AIR
SUSPENSION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The system only acts on the rear
wheels.
The system maintains the rear ride
setting for the vehicle constant in any
loading condition, while ensuring a
greater driving comfort.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
There are 7 pre-defined levels for the
free height from the ground: from “ride
-3” to “ride 0” till “ride +3”.
Automatic adjustment
When moving, the system automatically
shows that the vehicle is in 'ride setting
0' and keeps it constant.
While adjusting, the LED located on the
button (A or B fig. 74) corresponding
to the direction of travel, flashes.
Manual adjustment
5)
With the vehicle stationary and the
engine on or off, the desired height level
can be set.
45

Pressing button A, for less than 1
second, selects the next level
up. Keeping button A pressed for more
than 1 second directly selects the
maximum level: "ride setting +3".
Pressing button B, for less than 1
second, selects the next level down.
Keeping button B pressed, for more
than 1 second, selects the minimum
level directly: "ride setting -3".
During the adjustment the LED located
on the button (A or B) corresponding
to the direction of travel, flashes.
If, after selecting a button, the LED
remains lit up (for about 5 seconds)
rather than flashing, this means that the
adjustment is temporarily unavailable.
Possible causes may be as follows:
insufficient air reserve: the function is
restored by starting the engine;
the system has reached a threshold
working temperature: wait a few
minutes to let it cool down before
operating the buttons again.
The level selected with the vehicle
stationary is maintained up to a speed
of about 20 km/h; when this speed
is exceeded, the system will
automatically restore the normal level:
"ride setting 0".
WARNING
5)Before manually adjusting with doors
open, make sure there is enough space
around the vehicle for this kind of
operation.
