Button T - D
Air recirculation on/off
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel, etc.).
Button led on = recirculation on.
Button led off = recirculation off.
With low temperatures or compressor
off, air recirculation is deactivated to pre-
vent window misting up.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation on cold days as it would con-
siderably increase the possibility of win-
dows misting up inside.
During AUTOoperation, due to safety rea-
sons, after long recirculation activation (over
25 minutes) the system will deactivate au-
tomatically air recirculation for 1 minute to
enable outside air inlet.

ger’s compartment temperature down to
LO value (maximum cooling power).
HI function
This functions can be switched on when
you wish to heat the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible; air distribu-
tion and fan speed are controlled by the
system.
To turn this function off, set the required
temperature.
IMPORTANT If the system fluid is not
warm enough, top fan speed will not be
activated immediately to prevent air not
warm enough from entering the passen-
ger compartment.
LO function
This function can be switched on when
you wish to cool the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible; with this func-
tion switched on the compressor will be
turned on (if off) whereas air distribution
and fan speed are controlled by the sys-
tem.
To turn this function off, set the required
temperature.
IMPORTANT With the function switched

tive). Press AUTOto turn the system in

LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
During the winter, the climate control sys-
tem must be turned on at least once a
month for about ten minutes.
Before summer, have the system checked
at a Fiat Dealership. SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be turned on in different
ways, it is however advisable to set the re-
quired temperature and then to press the
AUTObutton. In this way the system
starts to work fully automatically to reach
the required comfort conditions as soon
as possible.
During automatic operation it is possible:
❒to select the required temperature
(buttons ÔÕ- E);
❒
to activate or to deactivate air recirculation
(button T- D);
❒to activate fast window demisting/de-
frosting (button --L);
❒
to select air distribution (buttons ¥w
μ- G H I);
❒
to select fan speed (buttons ÕÔ- F).
The system will automatically modify its
settings according to set changes and the
button led will turn off. To restore auto-
matic operation press again button AU-
TO.The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which will
not pollute the environment
in the event of leakage.
Under no circumstances should R12
fluid be used as it is incompatible with
the system components.
