2007 FIAT SEDICI cooling

103
Quick cooling
(using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal cooling except you select “RE-
CIRCULATED AIR” and the highest blow-
er speed.
NOTE
❒If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR”
for an extended period of time, the air
in the vehicle can become contaminat-
ed. Therefore, you should occasional-
ly select “FRESH AIR”.
❒If your vehicle has been left in the sun
with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly
while you operate the air conditioner
with the air intake selector at “FRESH
AIR” and the blower at high speed.
Dehumidifying
Turn on the “A/C” switch, set the air flow
selector to a desired air flow selector po-
sition, and select “FRESH AIR”, the tem-
perature selector to the desired temper-
ature position, and the blower speed se-
lector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion.NOTE Because the air conditioner dehu-
midifies the air, turning it on will help keep
the windows clear, even when blowing
heated air using the “DEFROST” or
“HEAT & DEFROST” functions.
NOTE If you need maximum defrosting:
❒select “DEFROST” and “FRESH AIR”,
❒turn on the “A/C” switch,
❒set the blower speed selector to HIGH,
❒adjust the temperature selector to the
HOT end, and
❒adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows. Head cooled/ Feet warmed heating
Select “BI-LEVEL” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position, and the blower speed se-
lector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion. Unless the temperature selector is in
the fully COLD position or fully HOT po-
sition, the air that comes out of the cen-
ter and side outlets will be cooler than the
air that comes out of the floor outlets.
Normal cooling
Turn on the “A/C” switch, set the air flow
selector to “VENTILATION”, the tem-
perature selector to the desired temper-
ature position and the blower speed se-
lector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion. Setting the blower speed selector to
a higher blower speed position increases
cooling efficiency.
You can switch the air intake selector to
either “FRESH AIR” or “RECIRCULAT-
ED AIR” as you desire. Choosing “RE-
CIRCULATED AIR” increases cooling ef-
ficiency.

SYSTEM OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Automatic operation
You can let the climate control system
work automatically. To set the system in
fullyautomatic operation, follow the pro-
cedure below.
❒Set the desired temperature by turning
the temperature selector (1).
❒Turn the blower speed selector (2) to
the “AUTO” position.
❒Turn the air flow selector (3) to the
“AUTO” position.
Then the blower speed selector/ air intake
selector (2) and air flow selector (3) are
controlled automatically to maintain the
set temperature.
The air conditioning switch (1) is to be se-
lected manually according to your taste.
When you turn the air conditioning switch
off, the climate control system cannot
lower the inside temperature below out-
side temperature.
To turn the climate control system off,
turn the blower speed selector (2) to the
“OFF” position.NOTE❒To find your comfortable zone, start
with the 22°C (72°F) setting.
❒If you turn the temperature selector (1)
to the highest or lowest limit, the cli-
mate control system will operate at the
maximum cooling or heating and the
blower will run at nearly full speed.
❒To avoid blowing cold air in cold weath-
er or hot air in hot weather, the system
will delay turning on the blower until
warmed or chilled air is available.

Defrost (g)
Temperature- controlled air comes out of
the windshield defroster outlets, the side
defroster outlets and the side outlets.
NOTE When the air flow selector (3) is
turned either to “Heat & defrost (f)” or
“Defrost (g)”, the air conditioning system
will come on and the “FRESH AIR” mode
will be selected automatically. But in very
cold weather, the air conditioning system
will not turn on.

IMPORTANT To avoid damaging your
cooling system:
❒Always use a high quality ethylene gly-
col base non- silicate type coolant di-
luted with distilled water at the correct
mixture concentration.
ENGINE COOLANT
SELECTION OF COOLANT
To maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use PARAFLU
UP.
This type of coolant is best for your cool-
ing system as it:
❒Helps maintain proper engine temper-
ature.
❒Gives proper protection against freez-
ing and boiling.
❒Gives proper protection against cor-
rosion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorized
Fiat Dealership can help you select the
proper coolant.
79J006
Petrol engine
❒Make sure that the proper mix is 50/50
coolant to distilled water and in no case
higher than 70/30. Concentrations
greater than 70/30 coolant to distilled
water will cause overheating conditions.
❒Do not use straight coolant nor plain
water.
❒Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. They may not be compatible with
your cooling system.
❒Do not mix different types of base
coolants. Doing so may result in accel-
erated seal wear and/ or the possibili-
ty of severe overheating and extensive
engine/ automatic transaxle damage.
COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
Check the coolant level at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
the “FULL” and “LOW” marks.

❒If you do not find a leak, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine
Coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.) If the temperature indication does not
come down to within the normal, accept-
able range:
❒Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormali-
ty is found, correct it.
❒Check the coolant level in the reser-
voir. If it is found to be lower than the
“LOW” line, look for leaks at the ra-
diator, water pump, and radiator and
heater hoses. If you locate any leaks
that may have caused the overheating,
do not run the engine until these prob-
lems have been corrected.
79J007
– It is hazardous to remove
the radiator cap when the
water temperature is high, because
scalding fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure. The cap
should only be taken off when the
coolant temperature has lowered.
– To help prevent personal injury,
keep hands, tools and clothing away
from the engine cooling fan and air-
conditioner fan (if equipped). These
electric fans can automatically turn
on without warning.
