CAR MAINTENANCE
188
Should prevailing use of the vehicle
be under one of the following special-
ly heavy conditions:
– trailer or caravan towing;
– dusty roads;
– short distances (less than 7-8 km)
repeated and with external tempera-
tures below zero;– frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g. door-
to-door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;
– driving in the city;
carry out the following checks more
frequently than required in the Service
Schedule:
– check front disk brake pad condi-
tions and wear;– check cleanness of locks, bonnet
and boot and lever cleanness and lu-
brication;
– sight inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
– check battery charge and fluid lev-
el (electrolyte);
– visual check on various drive belt
conditions;
– check and replace pollen filter, if re-
quired;
– check and replace air cleaner, if re-
quired.

REPLACEMENT fig. 11
Make the following operations:
– remove the jack lever;
– drive off side screws Aand remove
cap B;
– extract the inside filter and replace
it.POLLEN FILTER
This filter has a mechanical/electro-
static air filtering action, provided that
windows and doors are closed.
Have the pollen filter checked at a
Fiat Dealership, preferably at the
beginning of spring/summer.If the car is often used in dusty or ex-
tremely polluted environments, you
should change the filter element more
frequently than shown in the Service
Schedule.
IMPORTANTIf the pollen filter is
not replaced the climate control sys-
tem efficiency may be reduced.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To preserve the battery charge and
its functions, observe the following in-
structions:
– when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly. The ceiling lights must be off;
– the battery cables must be well fas-
tened;
– do not keep accessories (e.g.:
sound system, hazard lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when the
engine is not running;
– before performing any operation
on the electrical system, disconnect
the battery negative cable.IMPORTANTA battery which is
kept at a charge of less than 50% for
any length of time will be damaged by
sulphation leading to a reduction in
cranking power and a higher risk of
the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at –10°C). If the car
is inactive for a long period of time, re-
fer to “Storing the car”, in “Getting to
know your car” section.If after buying the car, you want to
install electric accessories which re-
quire permanent electric supply, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership, whose qual-
ified personnel, in addition to sug-
gesting the most suitable devices be-
longing to the Lineaccessori Fiat, will
evaluate the overall electric absorp-
tion, checking whether the vehicle’s
electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether
it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.

BODYWORK
PROTECTING THE CAR
FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of rust are:
– atmospheric pollution;
– salt and humidity in the atmosphere
(coastal or very hot and humid areas);
– environmental conditions that spe-
cific to the season.
In addition, the abrasiveness of dust
in the atmosphere and sand carried by
the wind as well as mud and stones
kicked up by other cars must not be
underestimated.
For your Ulysse, Fiat has used lead-
ing-edge technological solutions to ef-
fectively protect the body from rust.These are the most important:
– painting systems and products that
make the vehicle particularly resistant
to rust and scratching;
– the use of zinc-plated sheet steel
which is highly resistant to rust;
– the spraying of the underbody, en-
gine compartment, inside the wheel-
arches and other parts with wax-based
products with a high protective ca-
pacity;
– spraying plastic-coating materials to
protect the most exposed points: un-
der the door, inside the wings, the
edges, etc.;
– the use of “open” box sections to
prevent condensation and water from
building up and rusting the inside of
the parts.BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your Ulysse is covered by warranty
against any original structural or body
part being perforated by rust. Refer to
the Warranty Booklet for the gener-
al terms.
TIPS FOR KEEPING
THE BODY IN GOOD
CONDITIONS
Paintwork
The paintwork is not only to make
your car look attractive but also to
protect the steel.
If the paint is scuffed or scratched
deeply you are therefore advised to
touch up as necessary to prevent rust
from forming.

CAR MAINTENANCE
211
Only use genuine products when
touching up the paintwork (see the
“Technical specifications” chapter).
Ordinary maintenance of the paint-
work means washing it. The frequen-
cy you should do this depends on the
conditions and the environment the
vehicle is driven in. For example: areas
with high level of air pollution, roads
sprinkled with road saltwash, parking
under trees which drop resin. In these
cases, wash your vehicle more fre-
quently.To wash the vehicle properly:
1)wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water;
2)wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, fre-
quently rinsing the sponge;
3)rinse well with water and dry with
a jet of air or a chamois leather.
When drying the vehicle, be careful
to get at those parts which are not so
easily seen e.g. the door frames, bon-
net and around the headlights where
water can most readily collect. You
should leave the vehicle out in the
open so that any water remaining can
evaporate more easily.
Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun or while the bon-
net is hot: it could take the shine off
the pain.Outside plastic parts must be cleaned
following the usual car washing pro-
cedure.
IMPORTANTIf you wish having
the car washed at an automatic wash-
ing station remove the antenna from
the roof to prevent damaging it.
Where possible avoid parking the ve-
hicle under trees; the resinous sub-
stances that certain species of tree
shed dull the paintwork and increase
the possibility of rust forming.
IMPORTANTBird droppings must
be washed off immediately and with
great care as their acid is particularly
aggressive.
Detergents pollute wa-
ter. For this reason, the
vehicle must be washed in
an area equipped for the collec-
tion and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
