key FIAT ULYSSE 2008 2.G Owner's Guide

It is dangerous to let the
engine run in a garage or
other closed area. The
engine consumes oxygen and
gives off carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other poisonous
fumes.
– Make sure the handbrake is up and
the gear lever in Por N: the engine
can be started only with the gear in
these two positions.
– Turn the ignition key to Dwithout
pressing the accelerator pedal.
If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to Sbefore trying to start the engine
again.

30 meters from the vehicle. If the ignition key is turned to S(or
removed) the first row ceiling light
comes on. It will stay on only for a lim-
ited time and will go out gradually.

opened, the central ceiling light, with-
out the spot lights, and the puddle
lights on the doors come on. They re-
main lit for a set time and after a cou-
ple of seconds the door have been
closed, they go off gradually. When the
engine is started, the lights will go off
progressively after a couple of seconds.
When one of the rear doors is
opened the central ceiling light, with-
out the spot lights, come on. It re-
mains lit for a set time and after a cou-
ple of seconds the door have been
closed, it goes off gradually.When the tailgate is opened the lug-
gage compartment lights come on
