USE OF THE SEAT BELT
IN THE CENTRE POSITION
The three point centre seat belt is fit-
ted with reel A-fig. 60.
This seat belt is fastened as for the
front seat belts.Remember that in the
case of a violent collision,
back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts, in addition to
being personally exposed to se-
rious risk, also represent a seri-
ous danger to the passengers in
the front.
PRETENSIONERS
The Ulysse is fitted with pretension-
ers to enable the seat belts to offer
even more effective protection.
These devices “feel” that a violent
collision is in progress via a sensor and
pull back a few inches of webbing. In
this way the pretensioner ensures that
the belt is adhering perfectly to the
body before the belt begins to hold
back the wearer.When the pretensioner has been
triggered the reel mechanism will lock.
The seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANTTo obtain the high-
est degree of protection from the ac-
tion of the pretensioning device, wear
the seat belt keeping it firmly close to
the chest and pelvis.
Pretensioners are triggered only if
the relative seat belts are correctly
pushed into the buckles.
Some smoke might come out. This is
not harmful and does not signal the be-
ginning of a fire.
The pretensioners need no mainte-
nance or lubrication. Any modification
to its original features will nullify the
pretensioner’s effectiveness. If water
or mud accidentally get into the pre-
tensioner as a result of floods or
storms, the device must be replaced.

Mount the child re-
straint system only with
the car stationary. The
Isofix child restraint system is
properly anchored to the mount-
ing brackets when clicks are
heard. In any case, keep to the in-
stallation instructions that must
be provided by the child restraint
system’s Manufacturer.The Kiddy Type Isofix seat can how-
ever be fitted to the front passenger
seat even if not provided with Isofix
mounts: in this case, the child’s seat
must be fastened by means of the
three-anchoring point seat belt both
in the ahead and backward positions
The Type Isofix child’s seat covers
three weight groups: 0, 0+and 1.
Fitting the seat for the 0
and 0+ group fig. 71
For children included in groups 0and
0+, the restraint system faces back
(for children with weight up to 13 kg)
and the child is held by the restraint
system belts D.
Proceed as follows to fit the child re-
straint system in the correct way:
– the release lever Bmust be at rest
position (inward);
– find the presetting brackets A, then
position the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned with
the brackets;– push the child restraint system un-
til hearing the locking clicks;
– check proper locking by moving
the child’s seat with force: the built-
in safety mechanism actually inhibit im-
proper coupling with only one cou-
pling locked.

As the child grows, passing to the
next weight group (group 1) the child
safety chair must be fitted in the ahead
direction; perform this operation by
following the instructions provided by
the child seat’s Manufacturer.
With the child’s seat in this position,
adjust the corresponding front seat in
such a way that the Kiddy Isofix seat
structure leans against the front seat
backrest.

For proper mounting proceed as fol-
lows:
– check whether the release lever B
is at rest position (inward);
– find the presetting brackets A, then
position the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned with
the brackets;
– push the child restraint system un-
til hearing the locking clicks;With the child seat in this position,
the corresponding front seat must be
positioned halfway the sliding guides
travel, with the backrest in vertical po-
sition.

– for seats positioned facing the run-
ning direction, fasten the upper belt (in
the upper seat pocket) to the ring A-
fig. 72located on the floor immedi-
ately behind the seat:
– check proper locking by moving
the child’s seat with force: the built-
in safety mechanism actually inhibit im-
proper coupling with only one cou-
pling locked.
With this configuration, the child is
secured also by the car seat belts
fig. 73and by the upper belt.
Keep to the instructions provided by
the child restraint system Manufac-
turer for fastening the specific child re-
straint system you are using.

SYSTEM OPERATION
fig. 88-89
The system can be activated in sev-
eral ways:
– turning the main fan slider clock-
wise (L);
– or pressing button A(+/–) or E
(+/–);
– or pressing one of buttons (H, I,
M);
In these three cases the system re-
stores all the operation functions
stored before turning it off.
– or pressing one of buttons B, D,
N; in this case the automatic mode is
selected;– or pressing button G; in this case
the MAX-DEF function is selected.
The system automatically stores the
settings prior to the system switching
off, but it also takes into consideration
the vehicle stop and other external pa-
rameters, i.e.:
– if the engine is turned off for 20
minutes with the same internal tem-
perature, the system is restored keep-
ing the same settings. If in that period
temperature changes considerably, the
system restores the temperature pri-
or to switching off;
– if the engine is turned off for more
than 20 minutes, the system is
switched on in automatic mode, even
it was off before the vehicle stop, with-
out changing the temperature value.SETTINGS fig. 88-89
The user can choose the following
options:
• wished temperature setting:
this is possible pressing button A(+/–)
or E(+/–) and checking the temper-
ature value on the display (C). It is al-
so possible to split temperature and
set different values for the driver and
the passenger; the maximum differ-
ence is 5°C.
Temperature can be increased or de-
creased by setting different steps
which can be viewed on the display:
1°C between 14°C and 18°C and be-
tween 24°C and 28°C, 0.5°C between
18°C and 24°C.

TURNING THE SYSTEM OFF
The system can be switched off by
turning knurled knob Lanticlockwise
until the car shape is displayed with-
out the fan symbol.
When the system is turned off it
makes the following operations:
– storing of conditions prior to
switching off;
– the graphics on display Cgo off ex-
cept for the car shape;
– the air recirculation is taken to
open position (outside air intake);
– the compressor is excluded;
– the fan is excluded;
– the air is distributed to the wind-
screen;
– the air mixing is in “completely
cold” position.FAILURE INDICATION
If any failures are detected (locked
switches, sensor malfunction, electri-
cal failures, etc.) the system automat-
ically sets the “recovery” mode, which
is displayed by the flashing points sep-
arating the temperature decimals on
the display C. In this case contact a Fi-
at Dealership as soon as possible.
Recovery mode
The system will work in the follow-
ing way:
– driver’s and passenger’s tem-
peratures: aligned and evolving in the
same way;
if buttons Aor Eare locked tem-
perature is set at 21°C by the system;
– main fan, distribution, com-
pressor, recirculation: they work in
automatic mode (AUTO);
– AUTO function:main fan, air dis-
tribution, compressor and air recircu-
lation are automatically controlled by
the system and the impulses on the
relative switches have no effect;– MAX-DEF function: the system
directs air to the windscreen and the
air distribution, compressor, AUTO
and air recirculation switches are not
active, while the main fan and tem-
perature functions are still active;
– REAR function: additional fans
cannot be switched on;
– rear window: cannot be switched
on.
INDEPENDENT ADDITIONAL
HEATER
To improve your comfort, cars with
JTD engines, can be fitted with an in-
dependent additional heater.
After switching the engine off or with
engine idling, the additional heater
could stay on hissing and exhaling
smoke and smell.
