NOTE Your vehicle uses the air condi-
tioning refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly
called “R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12
around 1993 for automotive applications.
Other refrigerants are available, including
recycled R-12, but only R-134a should be
used in your vehicle.
IMPORTANT Using the wrong refriger-
ant may damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or re-
place the R-134a with other refrigerants.AUTOMATIC HEATING

CONDITIONING
SYSTEM
(Climate Control)
DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
Temperature selector/ Air
conditioning switch (1)
This is used to select the temperature by
turning the selector.
Also, this is used to turn on and off the
air conditioning system by pushing the
switch. To turn on the air conditioning
system, push in the switch and the indi-
cator light will come on. To turn off the
air conditioning system, push in the
switch again and the indicator light will
go off. MAINTENANCE
If you do not use the air conditioner for
a long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain op-
timum performance and durability of your
air conditioner, it needs to be run peri-
odically. Operate the air conditioner at
least once a month for one minute with
the engine idling. This circulates the re-
frigerant and oil and helps protect the in-
ternal components.
Your air conditioner is equipped with air
filters. Clean or replace them as specified
in the “Maintenance Schedule” in the “IN-
SPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion. Have this job done by your Fiat Deal-
ership as the lower glove box must be
lowered for this job.

may not be in the vehicle or the battery
of the remote controller may be unre-
liable. The red indicator light will turn
off within several seconds after the re-
mote controller is returned in the ve-

❒The ignition switch may not turn when
the remote controller is on the instru-
ment panel, in the glove box, in the
door pocket, in the sun visor or on the

The remote controller is a
sensitive electronic instru-
ment. To avoid damaging it, do not
expose it to impacts, moisture or high
temperature (such as on the dash-
board under direct sunlight).
WARNING
You can also turn the ignition switch by
inserting the ignition key into the slot.
If you leave any of the doors open with the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position for
a while (and no key inserted), the engine
may not start when you turn the ignition
switch to “START”. If the engine does not
start, close all doors completely or turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK”
position, then start the engine.
