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.

IMPORTANT The 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.
