CLIMATE CONTROL (cooling)
Proceed as follows:
- turn the slider pointer Bto the blue
section;
- press button Fto turn the climate
control compressor on and button G
to turn on inside air recirculation;
- turn the slider pointer Ato the re-
quired speed.
• fan speed setting: this is possi-
ble by turning slider A.
• air distribution selection: this is
possible by this is possible by turning
slider E.
Air can be distributed in five
ways: ventilation (front), bilevel
(front/feet), feet, windscreen/feet,
windscreen (MAX-DEF).
• compressor on/off: if the com-
pressor is turned off by pressing but-
ton Nwhen the led is lit, the related
led will go off; if the same button is
pressed when the led is switched off,
the compressor (on/off) is on.• MAX-DEF on: this is possible by
pressing button Dand window
demisting will be quickly reached.
• rear heated window on: this is
possible by pressing button C, and the
related led comes on. In this way the
rear window electrical resistances are
activated to heat and demist the rear
window. To stop it, press the button
again and the related led will go off.
Anyway, the rear heated window
works for a limited time and turns off
automatically.Be careful not to dam-
age the rear heated win-
dow resistances when
cleaning it from inside.
• recirculation on: when button G
is pressed it is possible to select the
following travelling conditions: closed
recirculation (relative led on), air com-
ing from outside (led off) recirculation
open, or having the system automatic
control on (led off even if activated).

DRIVING YOUR CAR

STORING THE CAR
The following precautions should be
taken if the car will not be used for
several months:
– park the vehicle in covered, dry and
if possible well-ventilated premises;
– engage a gear (Pfor versions with
automatic electronic gear);
– make sure the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
– clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
– sprinkle talcum powder on the rub-
ber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
– slightly open the windows;
– inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure and
check it at intervals;– switch off the electronic car alarm;
– disconnect the terminals (–) from
the battery poles (negative pole first)
and check the battery charge. When
the vehicle is in storage, this check
should be carried out once a month.
If no-load voltage is less than 12.5V,
recharge the battery;
– do not drain the engine cooling sys-
tem;
– cover the vehicle with a cloth or
perforated plastic sheet. Do not use
sheets of non-perforated plastic as
they do not allow moisture on the car
body to evaporate.RESTARTING THE CAR
AFTER STORAGE
Before restarting the vehicle after a
long storage, make the following op-
erations:
– do not take dust off the bodywork
without water;
– check if there are fluid leakages (oil,
brake and clutch fluid, engine coolant,
etc.);
– have the engine oil and the filter re-
placed;
– check the level of: brake and clutch
fluid, engine coolant;

Do not remove the
reservoir cap when the
engine is hot: you risk
scalding yourself. ENGINE COOLANT fig. 5-6Check coolant level when the engine
is cold. The level should be included
between the MINand MAXrefer-
ence line on the reservoir.If the level is low, loosen the header
tank cap Aand slowly pour a mixture
of the fluid specified in the ”Lubricant
and fluid specifications” table in sec-
tion “Technical Specifications”,
through the filler neck until nearing the
MAXmark.
The antifreeze mixture contained in
the cooling circuit guarantees protec-
tion down to –40°C.

Top up only with the
same fluid contained in
the cooling circuit.
PARAFLU UP (red) cannot be
mixed with PARAFLU 11 (blue)
or with other fluids. Should this
take place, do not start the en-
gine and contact Fiat Dealership.

Remove cap Aand check the fluid
level.
If it is necessary to top up the fluid,
pour in a mixture of water and
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35
fluid in the following proportions:
– 30% of TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35and 70% of water in
summer; The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with
another genuine one, otherwise
system efficiency could be com-
promised.– 50% of TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35and 50% of water in
winter;
– use undiluted TUTELA PRO-
FESSIONAL SC 35for tempera-
tures below –20°C.
