steering wheel FIAT DUCATO 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

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. 246:
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.

IMPORTANT
55) Some car washes with old-style
blades and/or in a poor state of
repair can damage the paintwork,
facilitating the formation of lines
that give the paint a dull/misty
appearance, especially on dark
colours. If this happens, lightly
polish the paintwork with
appropriate products.
IMPORTANT
5) Detergents cause water pollution.
The vehicle should be washed in
areas equipped for collecting
and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.
INTERIORS
Regularly check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to
water dripping off shoes, umbrellas,
etc.), as this could cause oxidation
of the sheet metal.
198) 199)
SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to
use a moist brush on velvet
upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge
moistened with a solution of water
and mild soap.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts
with a moist cloth and a solution
of water and non-abrasive mild
soap. Use specific products for
cleaning plastic, without solvents
and specifically designed to prevent
damage to the appearance and
colour of the treated parts, to
remove grease and tough stains.IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol,
petrols or derivatives to clean
the instrument panel glass.
LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR
KNOB/HANDBRAKE
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
These components must be
cleaned with mild soap and water
only. Never use alcohol or
alcohol-based products.
Read the product label carefully
before using specific products for
cleaning the interiors: make sure
that the product does not contain
spirits or alcohol-based
substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen
with special products, window
cleaner accidentally drips onto the
leather of the steering wheel/gear
lever knob/handbrake, wipe away
immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and
water.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT Be careful when using
a steering wheel lock device, where
applicable, to avoid damaging the
leather upholstery by rubbing.
WARNING
198) Never use flammable products,
such as petroleum ether or
modified petrol, to clean the
inside of the vehicle. The
electrostatic charges which are
generated by rubbing during
the cleaning operation may cause
a fire.
199) Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed
to a temperature exceeding 50°C.
When the vehicle is exposed to
sunlight, the internal temperature
can greatly exceed this value.
