LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
Run the climate control system for at least
10 minutes every month during the win-
ter. Have the system inspected at a Fiat
Dealership before the summer.
The system uses R134a re-
frigerant fluid which does not
harm the environment in the
event of accidental leakage.
Never use R12 fluid, which is not com-
patible with the system components.IMPORTANT The air internal recircula-
tion system makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster.
Do not use the air internal recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting up. INTERNAL AIR INTERNAL
RECIRCULATION ACTIVATION
Press
•so that the button LED is on.
It is advisable to switch the internal air in-
ternal recirculation on while standing in
queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air. Do not use the
function for a long time, particularly if
there are many passengers on board, to
prevent the windows from misting up.

WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 41controls windscreen
wiper/washer and rear window wiper/
washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
This can work only when the key is turned
to MAR.
The twist switch on the right stalk can be
moved to four different positions:
Owindscreen wiper off;
≤intermittent operation;
≥continuous slow operation;
¥continuous fast operation.
Move the stalk to position A(temporary)
to limit operation to the time for which
the stalk is held in this position. When re-
leased, the stalk returns to its default po-
sition, automatically stopping the wiper.Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress, prompting interven-
tion from the motor protection which
prevents operation for a few seconds.
If operation is not restored, even after
turning the key and restarting the en-
gine, go to a Fiat Dealership.
With the twist switch in position
≤, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
to the speed of the car.IMPORTANT Replace the wiper blades as

The wiper stops working three strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke 6 seconds later com-
pletes the wiping operation.

in/out of the car at night or in poorly-lit ar-
eas, two timed modes have been provided.
TIMING WHEN GETTING INTO THE CAR
The courtesy lights switch on as follows:
❒for about 10 seconds when unlocking

of the side doors;
❒for about 10 seconds when closing the
doors.
The timed period is interrupted when the
ignition is turned to MAR.

gine off for about 10 seconds;
❒when opening one of the side doors for
about 3 minutes;
❒when one of the doors is closed for
a period of about 10 seconds.
The timed period stops automatically
when the doors are locked. CAUTION Before getting out of the car,
make sure both switches are in the cen-
tral position; when the doors are closed,
the lights switch off to prevent the battery
from running down.
In any case, if the switch is left in the ‘per-
manently on’ position, the courtesy light
goes off automatically 15 minutes after the
