2017 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER tyre pressure

if after this operation it is still
impossible after 10 minutes to reach at
least 3 bar, do not start driving since
the tyre is excessively damaged and the
quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
proper hold, contact a Fiat Dealership;
if the tyre reaches the pressure
specified in “Inflation pressure”
paragraph in the "Technical Data"
section, start driving immediately;
after having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and recheck the tyre
pressure; remember to apply the
handbrake;
if a pressure value of at least 3 bar is
detected, restore the correct pressure
prescribed in the paragraph “Inflation
pressure” in “Technical specification”
(with the engine running and the
handbrake engaged), resume driving
and drive with care to nearest Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
157)Give the booklet to the personnel who
will be handling the tyre treated with the
repair kit.
158)Holes and damage on the tyre side
walls cannot be repaired. Do not use
the quick tyre repair kit if the damage is
due to running with flat tyre.
159)Repairs are not possible in the case of
damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
the foreign body (screws or nails) from
the tyre.
160)Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk
of overheating. Tyres repaired with the
quick tyre repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair.161)The bottle contains ethylene glycol. It
contains latex that might cause allergic
reactions. It is harmful if swallowed. Eye
irritant. It may cause sensitisation if inhaled
or on contact. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothes. In the event of contact,
wash immediately with plenty of water.
In the event that it is swallowed, do not
induce vomiting. Rinse out your mouth,
drink large quantities of water and seek
immediate medical attention. Keep out of
the reach of children. The product must
not be used by asthmatics. Do not inhale
the vapours during insertion and suction.
Call a doctor immediately if allergic
reactions are noted. Store the bottle in its
proper compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealing fluid has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle if the sealant has
expired.
162)Put on the protective gloves provided
together with the quick tyre repair kit.
163)Apply the adhesive label in a position
clearly visible by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the
quick repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly
on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
sudden acceleration or braking.
164)If the pressure falls below 3 bar, do
not drive any further: the Fix & Go
automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee suitable sealing because the tyre
is too damaged. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
165)Inform the Dealership that the tyre
has been repaired using the quick tyre
repair kit. Give the booklet to the personnel
who will be handling the tyre treated with
the repair kit.

IN AN EMERGENCY

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and maintenance operations
every 48,000 km depending on the
engine version.
It is, however, important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not
completely cover all the requirements of
the car: even in the initial period before
48,000 km, and then subsequently
between one service and another,
ordinary care is always required such as
routine checks involving topping up
fluid level, checking tyre pressures etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing can be carried
out by any Fiat Dealership, at
pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to
the ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these
may only be carried out with the
express agreement of the Customer.IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a
Fiat Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
towing, the interval between service
coupons must be reduced.
The customer can have servicing done
outside the authorised Fiat Dealership
without losing the warranty in force. The
warranty depends on carrying out the
scheduled servicing constantly, as
described in this Owner Handbook. The
customer can choose to have the
above mentioned servicing, and any
other repairs covered by the warranty,
carried out by any workshop (within
or outside the Fiat Dealership), as long
as it has suitable means and follows the
instructions described in this Owner
Handbook.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, restore:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
control and recovery of additive level
for AdBlue Diesel emissions (UREA)
(for versions/markets, where provided);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlamps, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always
efficient and well maintained, it is
advisable to make sure that you carry
out the above operations regularly
(approximately every 1000 km and
every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).

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. 194:
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.
WARNING
196)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
197)If the pressure is too low, the tyre will
overheat and could be seriously damaged.
198)Avoid switching the tyres from the
right side of the vehicle to the left side and
vice versa.
199)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.

WARNING
LUGGAGE CARRIER
Follow the instructions contained in the assembly kit carefully. Assembly must be performed by qualified personnel.
After travelling for a few kilometres, check to ensure that the fixing screws for the attachments are well tightened. Distribute the load
evenly and pay attention to side winds when driving.
Fully comply with the regulations in force concerning maximum clearance. Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter
"Technical specifications").
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and
affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The Diesel particulate filter (DPF) reaches high temperatures during normal operation. Therefore, do not park the vehicle on flammable
material (grass, dry leaves, pine needles etc.): fire hazard.
RIM PROTECTOR TYRES
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with a Rim
Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
