Preventive window demisting procedure
In the event of considerable external moisture and/or rain
and/or large differences in temperature inside and outside
the passenger compartment, perform the following pre-
ventive window demisting procedure:❒
turn the knob A to the red sector;
❒
turn the knob C to
U
;
❒
turn the knob D to
-
with the possibility of passing to
position ≤if the windows do not mist up;
❒
turn knob B to 2
ndspeed.
CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (cooling)
For fast cooling of the passenger compartment, proceed
as follows:
❒
turn the knob A to blue sector;
❒
turn the knob C to
T
;
❒
turn the knob D to
¥;
❒
press the knob B to turn the climate control system on;
the LED on the knob will come on;
❒
turn the knob B to
-
(maximum fan speed).
The system uses R134a refrigerant fluid
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances should R12 fluid be used as it is in-
compatible with the system components.
Cooling adjustment❒
turn the knob A to the right to increase the
temperature;
❒
turn the knob C to
U
;
❒
turn the knob B to reduce the fan speed.
SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about 10 minutes. Before sum-
mer, have the system checked at a Fiat Dealership.

The engine cooling system is pressurised.
If necessary, only replace the cap with an-
other genuine one or the operation of the system
may be adversely affected. Do not remove the cap
from the reservoir when the engine is hot: dan-
ger of scalding.
WARNING
The engine cooling system uses protective
antifreeze fluid PARAFLU
UP. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UP
fluid cannot be mixed with any oth-
er type of fluid. If this accidentally occurs, do not
start the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Do not travel with the windscreen wash-
er reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is fundamental for improving visibility.
