steering wheel FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

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. 218:
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
200)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
201)If the pressure is too low, the tyre will
overheat and could be seriously damaged.
202)Avoid switching the tyres from the
right side of the vehicle to the left side and
vice versa.
203)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.

SERVICING AND CARE

INTERIOR
Regularly check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.),
as this could cause oxidation of the
sheet metal.
205) 206)
SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a
moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral
detergent.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic
parts with a moist cloth and a solution
of water and non-abrasive mild soap.
Use specific products for cleaning
plastic, without solvents and specifically
designed to prevent damage to the
appearance and colour of the treated
parts, to remove grease and tough
stains.
IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol,
petrols or derivatives to clean
the instrument panel glass.LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR LEVER
KNOB/HANDBRAKE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These components must be cleaned
with mild soap and water only. Never
use alcohol or alcohol-based products.
WARNING
205)Never use flammable products, such
as petroleum ether or modified petrol, to
clean the inside of the car. The
electrostatic charges which are generated
by rubbing during the cleaning operation
may cause a fire.
206)Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
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.
