heater FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

IMPORTANT If the compressor on
the main air conditioner control
is turned on (operation of button E),
even if the additional air conditioner
fan is in position 0, the 1st speed
will automatically be activated
to prevent ice formation, with
possible damage to the
component.
WARNING
21) The heater burns fuel in the
same way as the engine, though
to a lesser extent. To prevent
poisoning and asphyxiation, the
additional heater must never
be turned on, not even for short
periods, in closed environments
such as a garage or workshops
without extraction fans for the
exhaust gases.22) The heater burns fuel in the
same way as the engine, though
to a lesser extent. To prevent

EXTERNAL LIGHTS
IN BRIEF
The left stalk includes the controls
for the exterior lights.
The exterior lights can only be
switched on when the ignition key
is in the ON position.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
❒If the selector knob D is placed in the
intermediate positions, the air will be
distributed between the vents in
the ceiling and the rear footwell
vents, varying the temperature.

SPEEDOMETER
(speed indicator)
Indicator A shows the speed of the
car.
REV COUNTER
Indicator C shows the engine revs.
IMPORTANT The electronic
injection control system gradually
shuts off the flow of fuel when
the engine is over-revving, resulting
in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the
rev counter may indicate a gradual
or sudden increase of the speed.
This is normal and does not
indicate a fault. It may be caused,
for example, by the activation of the
climate control system or fan. In
these cases, a slow change in revs
is used to protect the battery
charge.FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Needle E shows the amount of fuel
left in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in
paragraph "Vehicle refuelling" in this
chapter).
The warning light on the indicator
switches on when there are about
10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with
tank capacity 90-120 l) or 10 l (for
versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank.
Do not travel with the tank nearly
empty to prevent damaging the
catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point
to E and the warning light will
flash to indicate a fault in the
system. If this is the case, go to a
Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to
activate the additional Webasto
heater in reserve conditions.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle D shows the
temperature of the engine coolant
and starts supplying indications
when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50°C. In normal use, the
needle could assume different
positions within the scale,
depending on the usage
conditions.
C - Low engine coolant
temperature.
H - High engine coolant
temperature.
The warning light on the indicator
may light up (and a message on the
display may appear on certain
versions) to indicate that the
coolant fluid temperature is too
high; in this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below
for fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other
pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter
(PM), etc.).
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments
carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least
once every four weeks: if the
pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to
rolling is higher.Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
luggage compartment. The weight
of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its geometry
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski
rack from the roof after use. These
accessories decrease aerodynamic
penetration of the vehicle and
have a negative effect on fuel
consumption. When transporting
particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The heated
rear window, additional headlights,
windscreen/rear window wipers
and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up
to 25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to
+20%). If the temperature outside
permits, try and use the ventilation
only.
Devices for
aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified spoilers
may adversely affect air drag and
fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect
fuel consumption are listed below.
Cranking
Do not warm up the engine at low
or high revs when the vehicle is
stationary; this causes the engine
to warm up more slowly, thereby
increasing fuel consumption and
emissions. It is therefore advisable
to move off immediately, slowly,
avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm up more
quickly.
