Press the button A to activate this function; once
enabled, the light on the button comes on.
This function is timed and will turn off automatically
after 20 minutes. Press the button A again to switch the
function off.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside of the

that might cause it to stop working properly.INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press
•so that the button LED is on.
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
whilst queueing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. However, it is better not to
use the function for long periods, particularly if there
are many people on board, to prevent the windows
from misting inside.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system makes
it possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly.
Do not use the air recirculation function on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase the possibility of
the windows misting inside.
SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about 10 minutes. Have the
system inspected at an Abarth Dealership before the
summer.
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
incompatible with the system components.
