gearbox FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER 2017 Owner handbook (in English)

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The vehicle must be provided with a
type-approved tow hook and adequate
electrical system to tow caravans or
trailers. Installation should be carried
out by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle
tow hook will reduce the loading
capacity of the vehicle by the same
amount. Consider the weight of the
trailer fully laden, including accessories
and luggage, to make sure you do
not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the vehicle
registration document).Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 100 km/h.
You are advised to fit a suitable
stabiliser to the trailer drawbar.
In the vehicles equipped with parking
sensors, after fitting the tow hook
malfunctioning warnings may be
displayed, as some parts (tow bar, ball
tow hook) may be within the sensor
detection range. In this case the
detection range must be adjusted or
the parking assistance function must be
deactivated.
In vehicles equipped with "Comfort-
matic" transmission, make sure that the
gearbox is in neutral (N) (checking that
the vehicle moves when pushed) and
proceed in the same way as for towing
a normal vehicle with manual
transmission. If the gearbox cannot be
put in neutral, do not tow the vehicle
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
136) 137)
INSTALLING THE TOW
HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised technicians
according to any additional and/or
integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to Directive
94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must match the towable weight of the
vehicle on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a standard
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device,
and a special ECU for external trailer
light control must be installed on the
vehicle. For the electrical connection, 7
or 13 pin 12 V DC connections are to
be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions
provided by the vehicle manufacturer
and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.
Any electric brake (or electric winch,
etc.) should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a section
of at least 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brakes or other
devices must be used with engine
running.

WARNING
141)Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; RISK OF FIRE. If a general protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) is
activated, contact a Fiat Dealership.
142)Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition key has been removed and that all the other services are switched off and/or
disengaged.
143)If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
144)Contact Fiat Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes), engine system (engine, gearbox) or steering system general protection fuse
blows.
WARNING
47)Never replace a faulty fuse with metal wires or anything else.

IN AN EMERGENCY

DEMANDING
VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of
the following conditions:
towing a trailer or caravan;
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
check front disc brake pad
conditions and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
boot locks, cleanliness and lubrication
of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes
and hoses (exhaust - fuel system -
brakes) and rubber elements (boots -
sleeves - bushes - etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
Restore additive level for AdBlue
Diesel emissions (UREA) (for versions /
markets where applicable), at the
ignition of the lamp or the message on
the instrument panel;
check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter.
184
SERVICING AND CARE

IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs
moisture. For this reason, if the vehicle
is mainly used in areas with a high
degree of atmospheric humidity, the
fluid should be replaced at more
frequent intervals than specified in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
COMFORT-MATIC
GEARBOX HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM FLUID
To check the gearbox oil level and to
change the clutch hydraulic fluid, go to
a Fiat Dealership.
190)
WARNING
181)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: inflammable gases
and vapours may be present, constituting
a fire risk.
182)Be very careful working in the engine
compartment when the engine is hot:
you may get burned. Remember that the
fan may start up if the engine is hot: this
could injure you. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
183)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.184)Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
185)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility.
186)Some commercial windscreen washer
additives are flammable. The engine
compartment contains hot parts which
could start a fire if they come into contact.
187)Do not release the cap from the
extension without previously extracting the
system using the ring.
188)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
189)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
190)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to have the oil
changed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of respecting the
environment and according to legal
requirements.
WARNING
49)When topping up, take care not to mix
up the various types of fluids: they are
not compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the vehicle.
50)Used engine oil and replaced oil filters
contain substances which are harmful to
the environment. To change oil and filters,
we advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
51)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze fluid is used
in the cooling system. Use fluid of the
same type as that contained in the cooling
system for any top-ups. PARAFLU
UP
fluid cannot be mixed with any other type
of fluid. If this occurs, do not start the
engine and contact your Fiat Dealership
immediately.
52)Do not press on the power steering
end of travel with engine on for more than
8 consecutive seconds, since noise is
produced and there is a risk of system
damages.
53)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
4)Power steering fluid consumption is
extremely low; if another top-up is required
after only a short period of time, have the
system checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.
