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

take the screwdriver provided from
the box and prise up at the point
shown to raise the cap C fig. 183;
take the tow ring D from the box and
screw it onto the threaded pin fig. 183.
The rear ring B fig. 184 is located at
the point shown in the diagram.
WARNING
172)Screw on the tow hook and check
that it stops at the end of travel position.
173)Before towing, switch off the steering
lock (see "Starting device" paragraph
under the "Knowing your car" section).
174)Remember that the brake servo and
the electric power steering are not available
during towing operations. Significantly
greater force must be exerted on the brake
pedal and on the steering wheel to operate
them.175)Do not use flexible cables for towing
and avoid jerking. During towing
operations, make sure that the fastened
joint does not damage adjoining
components.
176)When towing the vehicle comply with
the specific rules of the Highway Code
regarding the towing device and the
behaviour on the road.
177)Do not start the engine while towing
the vehicle.
178)Towing must be made exclusively on
roads/streets; the device must not be used
to recover the vehicle if it got off the road.
179)Towing must not be made for getting
past significant obstacles on the road
(e.g. heaps of snow or material on the road
surface).
180)Towing must take place with the two
vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible; towing by
roadside assistance vehicles, too, must
take place with the two vehicles aligned as
much as possible

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and maintenance operations
every 48,000 km depending on the
engine version.
It is, however, important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not
completely cover all the requirements of
the car: even in the initial period before
48,000 km, and then subsequently
between one service and another,
ordinary care is always required such as
routine checks involving topping up
fluid level, checking tyre pressures etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing can be carried
out by any Fiat Dealership, at
pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to
the ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these
may only be carried out with the
express agreement of the Customer.IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a
Fiat Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
towing, the interval between service
coupons must be reduced.
The customer can have servicing done
outside the authorised Fiat Dealership
without losing the warranty in force. The
warranty depends on carrying out the
scheduled servicing constantly, as
described in this Owner Handbook. The
customer can choose to have the
above mentioned servicing, and any
other repairs covered by the warranty,
carried out by any workshop (within
or outside the Fiat Dealership), as long
as it has suitable means and follows the
instructions described in this Owner
Handbook.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, restore:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
control and recovery of additive level
for AdBlue Diesel emissions (UREA)
(for versions/markets, where provided);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlamps, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always
efficient and well maintained, it is
advisable to make sure that you carry
out the above operations regularly
(approximately every 1000 km and
every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).
183

DEMANDING

the following conditions:

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;

boot locks, cleanliness and lubrication
of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes

WEIGHTS AND
LOADS
To identify the weights and loads for
your vehicle, refer to the plate shown in
fig. 204 and described in the
“Identification data plate” chapter or
refer to the vehicle registration
certificate showing the type-approved
weights (for markets, where provided)
EMaximum permitted weight of fully
laden vehicle (GVW).
FMaximum permitted weight of the
vehicle (GVW) fully laden plus trailer. If
there is no value in the field or if
there is a dash, it means that the
vehicle cannot tow
GMaximum permitted weight on first
axle (front).
HMaximum permitted weight on
second axle (rear).To calculate the towable weight with a
braked trailer, take the difference
between values F and E shown on the
plate.
E.g.: F=6000 kg - E=3500 kg
Braked trailer=2500 kg
IMPORTANTDo not exceed the given
trailer and towable weights.
IMPORTANTComply with the vehicle
towing capacities.
The tables show the towable weight for

TECHNICAL DATA

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
These consumption values refer to basic vehicles without optionals.
The following procedures are used to measure the fuel consumption:
urban cycle: begins with cold starting, followed by driving simulating the use of the vehicle in town;
extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the vehicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all gears; the speed
varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the
extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the vehicle, trim
level/equipment/accessories, climate control system, vehicle load, roof rack, other situations that affect aerodynamics or air
drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.

Planning a route
WARNING In the interest of safety and
to reduce distractions while you are
driving, you should always plan a route
before you start driving.
Using the destination search function, it
is possible to find and reach your
destinations in different ways: searching
for a specific address, a partial
address, a specific type of location (for
example a service station or a
restaurant), a postal code, a POI (Point
Of Interest) near your current position
(for example, a restaurant with the
search type set to "nearby"), a pair of
latitude and longitude coordinates,
or by selecting a point on the map.
Select “Search” in the Main menu and
set the search for a destination. While
entering the information, the list
displays the corresponding addresses
and POIs in two separate lists.
The corresponding address and city are
displayed in the Address list and the
POI, the type of POIs and the locations
are displayed in the Point of Interest
lists.
To plan a route towards the destination,
select the “Guide” button.A route is planned and you are guided
to your destination, using spoken
instructions and on-screen directions.
