heating FIAT DUCATO 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
153) Give the instruction booklet to
the tyre repair workshop
personnel.
154) Punctures on the sides of the
tyre cannot be repaired. Do not
use the quick tyre repair kit if the
damage is due to running with flat
tyre.
155) If the wheel rim has been
damaged (bent so as to cause air
to leak), the wheel cannot be
repaired. Do not remove the
foreign body (screws or nails)
from the tyre.
156) Do not use the compressor for
more 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.157) The bottle contains ethylene
glycol. It contains latex that might
cause allergic reactions. It is
harmful if swallowed. It is irritant
for the eyes. 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. Do not induce
vomiting if swallowed. Rinse your
mouth and drink plenty of water.
Call a doctor immediately. Keep
out of the reach of children. The
product must not be used by
asthmatics. Do not breathe in 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 sealant has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
158) Wear the protective gloves
provided together with the quick
tyre repair kit.
159) affix the adhesive label in an
easy-to-see position for the driver
as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not
exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.160) If the pressure falls below 3
bars, do not drive any further: the
Fix & Go automatic quick tyre
repair kit cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
161) You must 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.
162) If different tyres from the ones
supplied with the vehicle are
used, it may not be possible to
carry out the repair. If the tyres
are replaced, it is advisable to use
those approved by the
manufacturer. Consult a Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
44) Punctures caused by foreign
bodies can be repaired if the
damage does not exceed 4 mm on
the tread and on the shoulder of
the tyre.
207

WARNING
193) Remember that the road
holding qualities of your vehicle
also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
194) If the pressure is too low, the
tyre will overheat and could be
seriously damaged.
195) Avoid switching the tyres from
the right side of the vehicle to the
left side and vice versa.
196) Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments requiring
the use of temperatures
exceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel
supply system rubber hoses are
concerned, follow the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan" in this chapter
carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and
prolonged lack of fluid in the
system may cause hardening and
cracking of the hoses, with possible
leaks. Careful checking is therefore
necessary.
WINDSCREEN
WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part
using special products; TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber
edge is deformed or worn. In any
case, it is advisable to replace them
approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can
reduce the possibility of damage to
the blades:
❒if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber against the glass. Use a
de-icing product to release it if
required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in
addition to protecting the blades,
this prevents effort on the motor and
overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
197)
246
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

If you put the car through a car
wash, follow these
recommendations:
❒remove the aerial from the roof so it
does not get damaged;
❒the vehicle should be washed with
water added to a soapy solution;
❒rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks
remaining on the bodywork or less
visible parts.
55)
Dry the less visible parts, such as
the door frames, bonnet and the
headlight frames with special care,
as in these areas water may
stagnate more easily. It is a good
idea to leave the vehicle outdoors
for a while after washing it to give
the water time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has
been left in the sun or with the
bonnet hot: this may alter the shine
of the paintwork.Exterior plastic parts should be
cleaned in the same way as the rest
of the vehicle. Where possible, do
not park the vehicle under trees;
the resinous substances released
by many species give the paint
a dull appearance and increase the
possibility of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must
be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.5)
Windows
To clean glasses, use specific
cleaning products. Use clean cloths
to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
inside gently with a cloth following
the direction of the filaments to
avoid damaging the heating device.Engine compartment
At the end of each winter,
thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid
spraying the water jet directly
onto the electronic control units and
the relay/fuse box on the left side
of the engine compartment (driving
direction). Have this operation
performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should
take place with the engine cold and
the ignition key in the STOP
position. After the washing
operation, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front
headlights.
