AUDIO SYSTEMS
❒Driving on extremely bumpy roads
which cause severe vibrations may
cause sound to skip.
❒This unit uses a precision mechanism.
Even in the event that trouble arises,
never open the case, disassemble the
unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.
Please bring the unit to an authorized
Fiat Dealership. 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.
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.
79J188
Too high a volume when dri-
ving can put the driver’s life
at risk and that of other people.
Therefore the volume should always
be adjusted in such a way that it is al-
ways possible to hear the noises of
the surrounding environment (e.g.:
horns, ambulance, police sirens, etc.).
WARNING
FM/MW/LW CD PLAYER WITH
CD CHANGER CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS
❒When the inside of the vehicle is very
cold and the player is used soon after
switching on the heater, moisture may
form on the disc or the optical parts
of the player and proper playback may
not be possible. If moisture forms on
the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If
moisture forms on the optical parts of
the player, do not use the player for
about one hour, this will allow the con-
densation to disappear normally.
