❒ to activate or to deactivate air recirculation
(button T -
D
);
❒ to activate fast window demisting/de-
frosting (button - - L);
❒ to select air distribution (buttons ¥ w
μ - G H I);
❒ to select fan speed (buttons Õ Ô - F).
The system will automatically modify its
settings according to set changes and the
button led will turn off. To restore auto-
matic operation press again button AU-
TO.
LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
During the winter, the climate control sys-
tem must be turned on at least once a
month for about ten minutes.
Before summer, have the system checked
at a Fiat Dealership.
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which will
not pollute the environment
in the event of leakage.
Under no circumstances should R12
fluid be used as it is incompatible with
the system components.
