VENTILATION
1)Central and side vents: com-
pletely open.
2)Air temperature knob A-fig. 34:
pointer in the blue sector.
3)Slider Dat
U.
4)Fan knob B: pointer at required
speed.
5)Air distribution knob C: pointer

RECIRCULATION
When the slider Dis in position
Tonly air already inside the pas-
senger compartment is recirculated.
IMPORTANTThis function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air is
heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tun-
nel etc.). You are advised against us-
ing this function for long periods how-
ever, especially if there are a lot of
people in the car. Do not use the re-
circulation function during cold/wet
weather as this will increase the like-
lihood of the windows misting up.
MANUAL CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The climate control system is ad-
justed manually.
CONTROLS fig. 35
Switch E automatically sets the fan
to the 1
stspeed.
A- Air temperature knob (mixing
hot and cold air).
B- Fan knob.
C- Air distribution knob.
D- Air recirculation slider. IMPORTANTWhen the outside
temperature is very high, the air will
be cooled more quickly if the air re-
circulation function is turned on. This
function is also particularly useful
when the outside air is heavily pol-
luted (in a traffic jam, tunnel etc.). You
are advised against using this function
for long periods however, especially if
there are a lot of people in the car.
E- Climate control on/off switch.
The system uses refrig-
erating fluid R134a which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment if it accidentally leaks.
Under no circumstances should
fluid R12 be used as this is in-
compatible with the system’s
component parts.

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.
