THEFT DETERRENT
SYSTEM
(where provided)
Intrusion sensor
(where provided)
The intrusion sensor fig. 6 uses
ultrasonic waves to detect movement
inside the vehicle and to raise an alert of
an intrusion into the vehicle.
The intrusion sensor detects certain
kinds of movement inside the vehicle,
however, it may also respond to
phenomenon outside the vehicle such
as vibrations, loud noise, wind, and air
currents.

vehicle before opening a door: suddenly
opening a door is dangerous. A passing
vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and
cause an accident.
12)Always confirm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and use caution during strong winds
or when parked on an incline. Not being
aware of the conditions around the vehicle
is dangerous because fingers could get

CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
OPERATING TIPS
2)
Operate the air-conditioning system
with the engine running.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with the
ignition switched ON when the engine
is not running.
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the bonnet and the
air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
Use the air-conditioning system to
defog the windows and dehumidify the
air.
The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traffic jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windscreen defrosting.
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the air-conditioning system.Run the air conditioner about
10 minutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
efficient. The refrigerant specifications
are indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment
fig. 24. If the wrong type of refrigerant is
used, it could result in a serious
malfunction of the air conditioner. For
details contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf (indicated on a specific plate in
the engine compartment). The use of other
coolants affects the efficiency and condition
of the system. Also the compressor
coolants used must be compatible with the
indicated coolant.
