GENERAL NOTES
While parking, pay attention to ob-
stacles above or below the sensors. In
fact certain objects very close to the
vehicle rear part are not detected by
the system and so the car or the sen-
sors might get damaged.
Warnings coming from the damaged
sensors may be altered and no longer
reliable, also when they are covered
with dirt, mud, snow or ice, or con-
founded by nearby ultrasound systems
(e.g. air brakes of trucks or rivetting
hammers).SOUND SYSTEM
For the sound system, see the
“Sound system” handbook enclosed
to this “Owner handbook”.
ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED
B Y THE OWNER
If, after purchasing your car, you wish
to add electric accessories (alarm,
satellite antitheft device, etc.) that re-
quire permanent power supply or high
feed accessories, visit a Fiat Dealer-
ship. The staff of experts, beside sug-
gesting the most suitable accessories
in the Lineaccessori Fiat range, will al-
so check whether the car electrical
system can support the the required
load or if a larger size battery needs to
be installed.Take care when fitting
additional spoilers, alloy
rims and non-standard
wheel caps: they might reduce
ventilation of the brakes, thus
their efficiency, during abrupt
and repeated braking, or long
downhill slopes. Make sure that
nothing (mats, etc.) gets in the
way of the pedals when they are
pushed down.

DRIVING YOUR CAR
139
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
– turn the engine off;
– pull up the handbrake;
– put the vehicle in gear (1
stif the ve-
hicle is pointing uphill, reverse if down-
hill);
– leave the wheels steered to block
the vehicle in the event the handbrake
is released.
For vehicles with automatic elec-
tronic gearbox refer to “Getting to
know your car” chapter.
SAFE DRIVING
In designing the Ulysse, Fiat has made
every effort to come up with a vehicle
able to provide driver and passengers
with top-class levels of safety. Never-
theless it is always the behaviour of the
person at the wheel that determines
road safety.
Below you will find some simple tips
to help you travel in safety under dif-
ferent conditions. You will no doubt
be already familiar with many of them
but it will be useful to read them all
carefully. Do not leave the ignition
key at M to prevent drain-
ing the battery.
Never leave children un-
attended in the car. Al-
ways remove the ignition
key when leaving the car and take
it out with you.
