THE FIAT CODESYSTEM
To further protect your vehicle fromattempted theft, it has been fitted withan electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem (called Fiat CODE) which is au-tomatically activated when the ignitionkey is removed. Each ignition key, infact, contains an electronic device,which modulates a radio-frequencysignal emitted by a special aerial, builtinto the ignition switch, during ignition.The modulated signal is a passwordwith which the control unit recognis-es the key. Engine ignition is enabled
only if the key is recognised by the sys-tem.
THE KEYS fig. 2
The following keys are supplied withthe car:
two keys A if the car is fitted withremote central door locking systemand electronic alarm.

open the plastic casing A by forc-ing recess B;
remove the printed circuit C withthe battery;

refit the printed circuit C with thebattery facing inwards;
close the plastic casing A.
Since the electronic alarm absorbselectricity, if you will not be using thevehicle for more than a month, youare advised to switch the system offwith the remote control. This will pre-vent the battery from going flat.

OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turnedto S the Fiat CODE system deacti-vates the engine control unit functions.
After the engine is started by turningthe key to M, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends the code for thefunction lock deactivation to the en-gine control unit. The crypted andvarying code is sent only if the systemcontrol unit has recognised the codesent by the electronic device con-tained in each ignition key, through thesignal emitted by a special aerial builtinto the ignition switch.
If the code is not recognised, you arerecommended to turn the key to Sand then again to M; if the lock cannotbe deactivated, repeat the operationwith the other key provided with thevehicle.
If you are still not able to start theengine contact a Fiat Dealership.

case of a violent collision,back seat passengers not

PRETENSIONERS
The Ulysse is fitted with pretension-ers to enable the seat belts to offereven more effective protection.
These devices feel that a violentcollision is in progress via a sensor andpull back a few inches of webbing. Inthis way the pretensioner ensures thatthe belt is adhering perfectly to thebody before the belt begins to holdback the wearer.
triggered the reel mechanism will lock.The seat belt cannot be drawn back upeven when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the high-est degree of protection from the ac-tion of the pretensioning device, wear
the seat belt keeping it firmly close tothe chest and pelvis.
Pretensioners are triggered only ifthe relative seat belts are correctlypushed into the buckles.
Some smoke might come out. This isnot harmful and does not signal the be-ginning of a fire.
The pretensioners need no mainte-nance or lubrication. Any modificationto its original features will nullify thepretensioners effectiveness. If wateror mud accidentally get into the pre-tensioner as a result of floods orstorms, the device must be replaced.

only be used once. After acollision that has trig-
gered it, have it replaced at a Fi-at Dealership. The device will lastfor 10 years from the date of pro-duction. Contact a Fiat Dealer-ship to replace the pretensionersas this date approaches.
Operations involving
banging, vibrations orheating (exceeding 100Cfor a maximum of 6 hours) in thearea around the pretensionermay trigger or damage the de-vice. Vibrations from rough roadsurfaces or accidental joltingcause by mounting pavementsetc. do not have any effect on thepretensioner. If, however, you
need any assistance, go to a FiatDealership.
This device reduces the load whichis normally exerted by the seat beltson the passengers shoulder and chestin a collision. It increases protectionby preventing the micro traumaswhich are inevitable in road accidents.
The device is built into the front andsecond row side seat belt reels.
FOR THE USE OF THE SEATBELTS
The driver must make sure that alloccupants use their seat belts prop-erly in accordance with local legisla-tion.
Always fasten the seat belts beforestarting.
For maximum safety,keep the back of your seat
upright, lean back into itand make sure the seat belt fitsclosely across your chest and hips.Make sure the seat belts on the
front and rear passengers are fas-tened at all times. You increasethe risk of serious injury or deathin a collision if you travel with thebelts unfastened.

Of course, they must position thelower part of the belt very low down
so that it passes under the abdomenfig. 63.
BELTS IN PROPER WORKINGORDER AT ALL TIMES
1) When wearing the seat belts, al-ways ensure they are not twisted andare free to wind in and out.
2) Following a serious accident, re-place the belt being worn at the time,even if it does not seem damaged. Al-ways replace the seat belts if preten-sioners have been activated.
3) When cleaning the belts, washthem by hand with water and neutralsoap, rinse them and let them dry inthe shade. Do not use industrialstrength detergents, bleach, colouringor any other chemical substance thatcould weaken the fibres.
4) Do not allow the reels to get wet:they are only guaranteed to workproperly if they remain dry.
5) Replace the seat belt when show-ing significant wear or cut signs.

release the button immediately todisplay the preset maintenance fre-quency;
a repeated press on button C willchange the maintenance frequency tothe one required:
30,000 km (recommended in nor-mal use conditions);
20,000 km (recommended in se-vere use conditions);
when the selected maintenance fre-
quency is displayed, press button C for10 seconds (the maintenance fre-quency selected will flash for 10 sec-onds);
release the button to confirm assoon as the display stops flashing.

ly in conditions of safety and respect-
ing the highway code enforced in thecountry you are driving in - and readthe following notes carefully.
The advantage of ABS with respectto the traditional braking system is thefact that maximum drivability is en-sured even when braking to the griplimit and wheel locking is prevented.
You should, however, not always ex-pect the braking distance to decrease.For example, on soft surfaces - i.e.gravel or fresh snow on a slipperyroad - the braking distance could, infact, increase.
When the ABS inter-venes and you feel thebrake pedal pushing, do
not release the pressure on thepedal but hold it down withouthesitation. This will ensure thecar stops in the shortest time
compatibly to the road surfaceconditions.
In any case, always pay the utmostcare when braking and cornering evenwith ABS.
The most important piece of adviceis, however, the following:
The ABS makes themost of the available gripbut cannot increase it.
Consequently, drive very care-fully on slippery roads withouttaking unnecessary risks.
When the ABS inter-venes, you have reachedthe grip limit between
tyres and road surface: slowdown to suit speed to the avail-able grip.

These two systems behave in thesame way, the only difference is thatone increases braking pressurethrough the ESP control unit and theother with a mechanic action.

The front air bag (driver and pas-senger) has been designed to protectthe occupants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity,by placing the cushion between the oc-cupant and the steering wheel or dash-board.
In case of crash, a person not wear-ing the seat belt moves forward andmay come into contact with the cush-ion while it is still inflating.
