CLIMATE CONTROL
(Cooling)
1)Air temperature knob A-fig. 35:
pointer in the blue sector.
2)Climate control: press button √E.
3)Slider D: at T.
4)Fan knob B: pointer at required
speed.
5)Air distribution knob C: pointer
at ¥.
To decrease cooling effects: set
pointer to
U, increase temperature
and decrease fan speed.
For normal heating and ventila-
tion , do not use the manual climate
control system. Use the normal heat-
ing and ventilation system instead (see
following chapter).IMPORTANTThe manual climate
control system is very useful for
speeding up the demising process be-
cause it dries the air. Simply adjust the
controls for the demistingfunction
(see previous section) and switch the
manual climate control system on by
pressing knob √. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
During the winter, the climate con-
trol system must be turned on at least
once a month for about ten minutes.
Have the system and pollen filter ef-
ficiency checked before the summer
at a Fiat Dealership.
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment in the event of leakage.
Under no circumstances should
R12 fluid be used as it is incom-
patible with the system compo-
nents and contains CFC.

82DRIVING YOUR CAR
STORING THE CAR
The following precautions should be
taken if the car will not be used for
several months:
– Park the car in covered, dry and if
possible well-ventilated premises.
– Engage a gear.
– Make sure the handbrake is not
engaged.
– Remove the cables from the bat-
tery terminals (first remove the cable
to the negative terminal), and check
the battery charge. If the car is to be
stored for long periods the charge of
the battery should be checked every
month and recharged if it falls below
12.5V.– Clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds readily
available.
– Sprinkle talcum powder on the
rubber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the glass.
– Open the windows slightly.– Cover the car with a cloth or per-
forated plastic sheet. Do not use
sheets of non-perforated plastic as
they do not allow moisture on the car
body to evaporate.
– Inflate the tyres to + 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure and
check it at intervals.
– Do not drain the engine cooling
system.

99IN AN EMERGENCY
An additional 7.5A fuse is located by
the side of the climate control system.
It can be reached from inside the pas-
senger compartment under the dash-
board.
Fuses in the engine
compartment
A fusebox is located on the left side
of the engine compartment behind the
battery. It contains four high amper-
age fuses A-fig. 40 (MAXI FUSES)
which act as additional fire protection
in preventing high intensity cables
from overheating the following :
A- 30A - injection control unit.
B- 40A - Ignition switch.
C- 30A - engine cooling fan.D- 60A -dashboard fusebox
power.
IMPORTANT Go directly to a
Fiat Dealershipto have any one of
these four fuses restored.
Other version-specific fuses are
arranged next to the four MAXI fuses.
They protect the following devices:
E - 30A - climate control sys-
tem.
F - 30A - optional power cir-
cuits.
G - 40A - electrical power
steering system.
H - 60A - ABSA fusebox B-fig. 41 containing other
three fuses is located in the engine
compartment on the right-hand side.
To reach the fuses, loosen the two
nuts A and remove the cover B.
Fuses fig. 42 protect:
1 - 7.5A -Fiat CODE and control
unit (+30)
2 - 15A -injection system auxiliary
units and climate control
system auxiliary units
3 - 7.5A -Fiat CODE and elec-
tronic injection control
unit (15/54)

Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reser-
voir empty. The wind-
screen washer is fundamental for
improving visibility. Some windscreen wiper
additives on the market
are flammable. The en-
gine compartment contains hot
parts which could start a fire in
the event of contact.
BRAKE FLUID fig. 5
Unscrew cap check that the fluid
level in the reservoir is at maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not
exceed the MAXmark. Check coolant level when the engine
is cold. The level should be included
between the MIN and MAXrefer-
ence lines on the reservoir.
If the level is low, top up slowly
through the filler on the reservoir
with a 50-50 mixture of distilled wa-
ter and FL Selenia PARAFLU UP
fluid until the level approaches the
MAX line. A 50-50 mixture of
PARAFLU UPand distilled water
gives freeze protection to –35°C.
For particularly hard climate condi-
tions, we recommend use of a 60%
PARAFLU UP and 40% demineralized
water mixture.
The engine cooling sys-
tem works with
PARAFLU UP. Top up
only with the same fluid con-
tained in the cooling circuit.
PARAFLU UP cannot be mixed
with other fluids. Should this take
place, do not start the engine and
contact Fiat Dealership.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER LIQUID
To add liquid remove the cap A-
fig. 4.
Use a mixture of water and
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35
fluid in the following concentrations:
30% of TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35and 70% of water in summer.
50% of TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35and 50% of water in winter.
