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.AUTOMATIC HEATING

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.
Your air conditioner is equipped with air
filters. Clean or replace them as specified
in the “Maintenance Schedule” in the “IN-
SPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion. Have this job done by your Fiat Deal-
ership as the lower glove box must be
lowered for this job.

Blower speed selector (2)
The blower speed selector (2) is used to
turn on the blower and to select blower
speed.
If the “AUTO” switch (8) is pushed, the
blower speed will vary automatically as the
climate control system maintains the se-
lected temperature.Air intake selector (3)
Push the air intake selector (3) to change
between the following modes.
If the “AUTO” switch (8) is pushed, the
air intake will vary automatically as the cli-
mate control system maintains the se-
lected temperature.RECIRCULATED AIR (a)
When this mode is selected, outside air is
shut off and inside air is recirculated. This
mode is suitable when driving through an
area with polluted air such as a tunnel, or
when attempting to quickly cool down the
vehicle.
FRESH AIR (b)
When this mode is selected, outside air is
introduced.
“FRESH AIR” and “RECIRCULATED AIR”
are selected alternately each time the air
intake selector is pushed.
NOTE If you select “RECIRCULATED
AIR” for an extended period of time, the
air in the vehicle can become contami-
nated. Therefore, you should occasional-
ly select “FRESH AIR”.

fully-automatic operation, follow the pro-
cedure below.
❒Start the engine.
❒Push the “AUTO” switch (8).
❒Set the desired temperature by turn-
ing the temperature selector (1).
The blower speed, air intake and air flow
are controlled automatically to maintain
the set temperature.

To turn the climate control system off,
push the “OFF” switch (6).
NOTE If the “AUTO” on the LCD display
blinks, there is a problem in the heating
system and/or air conditioning system.
You should have the system inspected by
an authorized FIAT Dealership.
NOTE
❒To find the temperature at which you
are most comfortable, start with the
22°C (72°F) setting.
❒If you turn the temperature selector
(1) until “HI” or “LO” appears on the
LCD display, the climate control sys-
tem will operate at the maximum
cooling or heating and the blower will
run at full speed.
❒To avoid blowing cold air in cold
weather or hot air in hot weather, the
system will delay turning on the blow-
er until warmed or chilled air is avail-
able.
❒If your vehicle has been left in the sun
with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly.
❒Even under the automatic operation,
you can set individual selectors to the
manual mode. The manually selected
functions are maintained, and the oth-
er functions remain under automatic
operation.
❒To return the blower speed selector
(2), air intake selector (3), and air flow
selector (4) to automatic operation,
push the “AUTO” switch (8).Be careful not to cover the interior tem-
perature sensor (10) located between the
steering wheel and the climate control
panel, or the solar sensor (11) located at
the top of the driver’s side dashboard.
These sensors are used by the automatic
system to regulate temperature.Manual operation
You can manually control the climate con-
trol system. Set the selectors to the de-
sired positions.
NOTE
If you need maximum defrosting:
❒push the defrost switch (5) to turn on
the defroster (the air conditioning sys-
tem will come on and the “FRESH
AIR” mode will be selected automat-
ically),
❒set the blower speed selector to
HIGH,
❒adjust the temperature selector to the
“HI” indication on the LCD display,
and
❒adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.
