LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
During winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Before summer,
have the system checked at a Fiat Deal-
ership.
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which will
not pollute the environment
in the event of leakage. Un-
der no circumstances should R12 fluid
be used as it is incompatible with the
system components.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster.
Do not use the air recirculation function
on rainy/cold days as it would consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside. AIR RECIRCULATION fig. 46

Ω

This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel etc.). However, it is better

During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:❒
Ω
air recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒
-
to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, side windows, rear win-
dow and door mirrors;
❒
(
to demist/defrost heated rear win-
dow and door mirrors;
❒π
to select air distribution during ven-
tilation.
During full automatic system operation,
you can change at any time set tempera-
tures, air distribution and fan speed by us-
ing the relevant buttons or knobs: the sys-
tem will automatically change its settings
to adjust to the new requirements.Air temperature adjusting knobs
M - I
Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise, respectively increases or de-
creases the temperature of the air required
respectively in the front left zone (knob M)
and in the right zone (knob I) f the passen-
ger compartment. Since the system controls
two zones of the passenger compartment,
it is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7 °C.
The temperatures set are shown on the dis-
play near the relevant knobs. Pressing but-
ton AUTOwill activate automatic opera-
tion in order to have two separate ventila-
tion temperatures between driver and pas-
senger’s side.
With automatic operation on, pressing again
button AUTOwill align the temperature
on the passenger’s side with that on the dri-
ver’s side.
Turn the knobs fully clockwise or counter-
clockwise to engage respectively HI(max-
imum heating) or LO(maximum cooling).
To deactivate these two functions, just
turn the temperature knob and set the re-
quired temperature.Front air distribution button D
Pressing this button it is possible to
choose manually one of the seven possi-
ble air distributions to the passenger com-
partment (right or left side):
æ
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.
ø
Air flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest and
the face during the hot season.
¿
Air flow towards the front and rear
lower parts of the passenger com-
partment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards, this
type of distribution allows heating of
the passenger compartment in the
shortest time, also giving a prompt
feeling of warmth.

AUTO button
(automatic operation on/off)
Pressing button AUTOthe system auto-
matically adjusts the amount and distribu-
tion of the air admitted to the passenger
compartment, cancelling all the previous
manual adjustments. Manual operation of
at least one automatic function (air recir-
culation, air distribution, fan speed or cli-
mate control compressor off).
IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual settings) be no longer able to guar-
antee the required temperature set in the
passenger compartment, the set tempera-
ture value will start flashing to indicate this
condition, after one minute the AUTO
message will turn off.To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual ad-
justments, press button AUTO.
Pressing again button AUTOautomati-
cally aligns the temperature on the pas-
senger side with that on the driver side,
it is therefore possible to set the same
temperature and air distribution between
the two zones by turning the knob on dri-
ver side. This function is provided to sim-
plify temperature adjustment of the whole
passenger compartment when only the
driver is onboard. Separate operation of
set temperature and air distribution is re-
stored by pressing the button AUTO
again.Air recirculation on/off button E
Air recirculation works according to the
following operating logics:
❒
automatic switching on, by pressing one
of the AUTObuttons and indicated by
the turning on of the AUTOicon on the
display.
❒
manual switching on, by pressing but-
ton E, indicated by symbol
Ω
on the
display;
❒
manual switching off, by pressing but-
ton E, indicated by the turning off of
symbol
Ω
on the display.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired heating or cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate con-
trol system is off.

VEHICLE INACTIVITYIf the vehicle is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be noted:❒
park the vehicle in covered, dry and if
possible well-ventilated premises;
❒
engage a gear;
❒
check that the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
❒
disconnect the battery negative termi-
nal and check the battery charge. This
check is to be repeated every three
months. Recharge if the optical indica-
tor shows a dark colour without the
central green area;
❒
clean and protect the painted parts us-
ing protective wax;
❒
clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily avail-
able;
❒
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
❒
slightly open the windows;
❒
cover the vehicle with a cloth or per-
forated plastic sheet. Do not use sheets
of non-perforated plastic as they do not
allow moisture on the vehicle body to
evaporate;
❒
inflate tyres to +0,5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check it at
intervals;
❒
if you don’t disconnect the battery from
the electric system, check its charge
every month and recharge it if the op-
tical indicator shows a dark colour
without the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off
the vehicle alarm with the remote control.
Keep your speed down when
snow chains are fitted. Do
not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pave-
ments and avoid also to dri-
ve for long distances on
roads not covered with snow to pre-
vent damaging the vehicle and the
roadbed.

MAINTENANCE
When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, fan may cut in: danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose cloth-
ing might be pulled by moving parts.
WARNING
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 9
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall be within the MIN
and MAXmarks on the tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU
UP
of the PETRONAS LU-
BRICANTSthrough the filler neck Aun-
til the level reaches the MAXmark.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UP
and
distilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
fig. 9
F0P0152m
The engine cooling system us-
es protective antifreeze fluid
PARAFLU
UP. Use the same
fluid type as that already in
the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UP
fluid cannot be mixed with
any other type of fluid. Should it hap-
pen, under no circumstances start the
engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If necessary, replace
the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency
could be compromised. Do not re-
move the reservoir cap when the en-
gine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
WARNING
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed, as they are
equipped to dispose of the waste oil
and filters respecting the nature and
the law.Do not add oil with specifica-
tions other than that already
in the engine.
