GLOW PLUGS
(Amber)
The light comes on when
the ignition key is turned to Mand
then goes off when the glow plugs
have reached the set temperature.
Start the engine immediately after
the warning light goes off.
IMPORTANTWhen the environ-
ment temperature is very high, the
warning light might come on for less
than a second.FUEL RESERVE
(Amber)
The warning light comes on
when 8 litres of fuel have remained in
the tank. SERVICE WARNING
LIGHT (Red)
This warning light will turn
on in the following cases: low coolant
level, particulate filter failure, low par-
ticulate filter additive level, risk of
clogged particulate filter.
DIPPED HEADLIGHTS
(Green)
When the dipped-beam
headlamps are turned on.
RIGHT DIRECTION
INDICATOR (Green)
The warning light starts
flashing when the direction indicator
control stalk is lifted or together with
the left direction indicator, when the
hazard light button is pressed.

The warning light will come on when
the front passenger air bag is deacti-
vated.
REAR FOG LIGHTS
(Amber)

are turned on.
ESP SYSTEM (Amber)
The light comes on when
you turn the ignition key to
M, but it should go out after a couple
of seconds.
If the warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling contact a Fi-
at Dealership.
Warning light flashing when driving
indicates that the ESP system is active.

Feet
Air is directed towards the feet
through:
– three front vents for the first row
(2 on the driver’s side and 1 on the
passenger’s side);
– four vents on the floor (2 for the
second row and 2 for the third row).
Windscreen/feet
Air is distributed with the same per-
centage to the feet (40%) and wind-
screen vents (40%), but a small per-
centage is devoted to ventilation (20%)
in order to guarantee the passenger
compartment heating and to prevent
frosting.
This type of air distribution is applied
by the climate control system auto-
matic operation, especially when the
external temperature is very low and
it is necessary to direct some warm air
towards the driver’s hands.
MAX-DEF function
Air is completely directed to the
windscreen and front side windows.
This function is used for the wind-
screen/side window rapid defrost-ing/demisting and rear heated window
activation with only one operation.
Such function is activated manually
and enables the following functions:
– ventilation with maximum air ca-
pacity;
– air mixing completely hot;
– air recirculation off (outside air);
– compressor on;
– air distribution to the windscreen;
– rear heated window on.
When the MAX-DEF function is on
it is possible to alter the air capacity
and to deactivate the rear heated win-
dow.
The rear heated window works for
a limited time and turns off automati-
cally.AIR QUALITY
The system is fitted with a pollen fil-
ter which prevents dust particles and
pollen coming from the outside from
getting into the system.
Have the pollen filter checked at a
Fiat Dealership at least once a year,
possibly at the beginning of spring/
summer.
If the car is often used in dusty or
highly polluted areas, you should check
or change the pollen filter more fre-
quently.

In addition, still with the climate con-
trol system working in automatic
mode, when the external temperature
is lower than 18°C, supplementary
fans can be used to direct some warm
air to the second and third row.
If cold air is required, treated air di-
rected to the feet is distributed to all
three rows.
MAX-DEF function
Air is completely directed to the
windscreen and front side windows.
This function is used for the wind-
screen/side window rapid defrost-
ing/demisting and rear heated window
activation with only one operation.
Such function is activated manually
and enables the following functions:
– ventilation with maximum air ca-
pacity;
– air mixing completely hot;– air recirculation off (outside air);
– compressor on;
– air distribution to the windscreen;
– rear heated window on.
When the MAX-DEF function is on
it is possible to alter the air capacity
(the minimum corresponds to 1 fan
notch) and to deactivate the rear heat-
ed window.
The rear heated window works for
a limited time and turns off automati-
cally.
MIXING
Temperature can be adjusted rang-
ing from a minimum of 14°C to a max-
imum of 28°C, i.e. “completely cold”
and “completely hot”. AIR QUALITY
The system is fitted with a pollen fil-
ter which prevents dust particles and
pollen coming from the outside from
getting into the system.
Have the pollen filter checked at a
Fiat Dealership at least once a year,
possibly at the beginning of spring/
summer.
If the car is often used in dusty or
highly polluted areas, you should check
or change the pollen filter more fre-
quently.

ter can reduce the cli-
mate control system’s ef-
ficiency considerably.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Protecting the environment has been
a constant guiding factor of the
Ulysse’s design and manufacture at
every stage. The result of this atten-
tion is to be seen in the choice of ma-
terials and installation of devices able
to drastically limit or reduce harmful
influences on the environment.
Devices for reducing emissions from
JTD engines are:
– oxidising catalytic converter;
– exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
– particulate filter (where fitted): its
purpose is to trap and burn particulate
(unburnt particles) to reduce harmful
exhaust emissions.
The vehicle, therefore, has great ad-
vantages with respect to the strictest
international anti-pollution directives. Do not put open flames
or lighted cigarettes near
the fuel filler hole as there
is a danger of fire. Do not lean out
too close to the hole either so as
not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
Where necessary, to
avoid compromising the
efficiency of the fuel
vapour recovery system, replace
the fuel cap with another genuine
spare part.
IMPORTANTThe waterproof fu-
el filler cap lock may be slightly pres-
surised. Therefore, do not worry if
some air comes out when the cap is
released.
After filling, drive in the cap by turn-
ing it clockwise until it clicks twice or
thrice, then turn the key clockwise and
remove it. Close the flap.

CAR MAINTENANCE

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.
HEAVY-DUTY

AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner is connected to tem-
perature and air flow sensors which
send the electrical signals needed for
the correct system injection and start-
ing to the control unit.
For this reason and to limit con-
sumption and exhaust emissions the
air cleaner must always be efficient. IMPORTANTBrake fluid is hy-
groscopic (meaning it absorbs humid-
ity). This is why the fluid should be
changed more frequently than shown
in the Service Schedule if the vehicle is
mainly driven in areas with a high per-
centage of humidity in the air.If the following filter re-
placement operations are
not carried out in the cor-
rect way and without taking the
necessary precautions, the vehi-
cle driving safety may be com-
promised.
The filter replacement
procedure is just for in-
formation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership to carry it out in the
correct way.
If the car is often used in
dusty roads, you should
change the filter element
more frequently than shown in
the Service Schedule.
The cleaner can be dam-
aged if it is cleaned and
consequently the engine
can be damaged.

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.
