PARKING

– 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

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.
