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.

screen/side window rapid defrost-
ing/demisting and rear heated window

– 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

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 (for versions/mar-
kets, where provided): 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.
