suspension FIAT DUCATO 2016 3.G User Guide

146)The spare wheel supplied (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specific for your vehicle. Therefore, it must
not be used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models on your
vehicle. The wheel bolts are specific for
your vehicle: do not use them on different
models and do not use bolts from other
models on your car.
147)Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
148)Use the jack only to replace wheels
on the vehicle with which it is supplied
or on other vehicles of the same model.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as lifting other vehicle models. Never
use the jack to carry out repairs under
the vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than the
one shown on its label.
149)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
rim and tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel
pressure regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical specifications"
section.
150)No tools other than the crank
provided should be used with the spare
wheel lifting device; it should be operated
by hand only.
151)On versions equipped with self-
levelling air suspension, never introduce the
head or hands in the wheel arch: the
vehicle could raise or lower automatically
depending on possible load or temperature
changes.152)The device should only be operated
by hand, without using any type of tool
other than the crank provided like
pneumatic or electrical screwers.
153)The moving components of the jack
(screws and joints) can also cause injuries:
avoid touching them. If you come into
contact with lubricating grease, clean
yourself thoroughly.
154)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel, after
checking that the wheel is positioned
correctly under the platform (yellow notch
inside the window on the device), extract
the operating wrench. Take care not to turn
the wrench in the wrong direction (as in
fig. 166) to facilitate extracting it, to prevent
the attachment device from being
released and to ensure that the wheel
assembly remains safely fastened.
155)Each time the spare wheel is moved,
check that it is correctly positioned in its
housing under the platform. If it is not
correctly positioned, this could adversely
affect safety.
156)The spare wheel lifting device is
equipped with a clutch safety system for its
own protection; this could activated if an
excessive load is applied on the
maneuvering screw.FIX & GO
AUTOMATIC QUICK
TYRE REPAIR KIT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Fix & Go automatic quick tyre
repair kit is located at the front of the
vehicle passenger compartment and
includes fig. 171:
bottle A containing sealer and fitted
with:
– a transparent filler pipe B;
– a black pressure restoring pipe E;
– sticker C bearing the notice “max. 80
km/h”, to be placed in a position visible
to the driver (on the instrument panel)
after fixing the tyre;

IN AN EMERGENCY

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.
