5)Air recirculation slider: pointer set
at U, air is allowed to enter the car
from the outside.RECIRCULATION
When the slider is in position T,
only the inside air is circulated.
IMPORTANTThis function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tun-
nel etc.). You are advised against using
this facility for long periods.
IMPORTANTDo not use the air
recirculation function when the
weather is wet/cold as this will make
the inside of the windows mist up con-
siderably.MANUAL CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where fitted)
The system uses refrig-
erating fluid R134a as it
will not pollute the envi-
ronment if it accidentally leaks.
Under no circumstances use flu-
id R12, which is incompatible
with the system’s component
parts.
CONTROLS fig. 34
A- Knob for adjusting the air tem-
perature (mixture of warm and cool
air).
B- Switch for turning the manual cli-
mate control system on and off. When
turned on, this switch automatically
turns on the fan at first speed. The sys-
tem is on when the light on the switch
is on.

37
C- Fan knob.
D- Switch for turning the air recir-
culation option on, preventing air from
being taken in from the outside. The
recirculation function is on when the
light on the switch is on.
IMPORTANTIf you turn the air
recirculation on when the outside
temperature is particularly high, the air
will cool more quickly.This function
is particularly useful when the outside
air is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam,
tunnel etc.). You are advised against
using this facility for long periods, how-
ever.
E- Air distribution knob.CLIMATE CONTROL
(COOLING)
1) Air temperature control knob:
pointer in the blue sector.
2)Fan control knob: pointer set at
the speed required.
3) Air distribution knob: pointer set
at ¥.
4)Manual climate control system:
press switches √and T.
If you wish to moderate the cooling
effect: release switch T, increase
the temperature and reduce the speed
of the fan.
Do not switch on the manual climate
control system for heating and venti-
lation but use the ordinary heating and
ventilation system (see the previous
chapter).IMPORTANTThe manual climate
control system is very useful for
speeding up demisting because it dries
the air. Simply adjust the controls for
the demisting function and turn on the
manual climate control system by
pressing switch √.
IMPORTANTDo not use the air
recirculation function when the
weather is wet/cold as this will make
the inside of the windows mist up con-
siderably.

IMPORTANT If one of the doors
is not shut properly or there is a fail-
ure in the system, the central locking
feature will not work and, after some
attempts, the device stops working for
around two minutes. In these two
minutes the doors can be locked or
unlocked manually without the elec-
trical system coming into play. After
the two minutes the control unit is
ready to receive commands once
more.
If the reason for the malfunction has
been removed, the device will start to
work properly again. If not it will cut
out once more.ELECTRIC WINDOWS fig. 53
Two push buttons are mounted on
the central console. They control the
following when the ignition key is at
MAR:
A- left window opening
B- left window closing
C- right window closing
D- right window opening
If a button is pressed on the driver’s
side for around two seconds, the win-
dow works automatically: the window
stops when it is fully opened or closed
(or when the button is pushed again).

Improper use of the electric
windows can be dangerous.
Before and during their operation,
ensure that any passengers in the
vehicle are not at risk either by per-
sonal objects getting caught or by
being injured directly. Always re-
move the ignition key when you get
out of the car to prevent the elec-
tric windows being operated acci-
dentally and constituting a danger
to the people left in the car.

HOOD
USEFUL TIPS
Before opening the hood, make sure
its housing is not obstructed by any-
thing.
To prevent damage to the window
seals, open and close the hood either
with the windows right down or with
the doors open.
Do not fold the hood when it is wet:
it may get damaged if it is left in its
housing for a long period.
Do not rest weights on the open or
closed hood: the canvas and the frame
could get damaged.
Do not open or close the hood
when the outside temperature is very
low.
Snow or ice must be removed with
objects that do not leave scratches.
Take the car to a Fiat Dealership
for any repairs or maintenance.OPENING
1) Lower the sun visors.
2) Grip the handles, lower them,
turn them towards the inside of the
car fig. 54and raise the front part of
the hood from the windscreen tran-
som.
3)Lower both the side windows or
keep the doors open.
4) Working from the outside of the
car on the driver’s side, fold the hood
back a little until you are able to raise
the rear of the hood, as well. Make
sure the rear window folds properly
at the centre using the palm of your
hand fig. 55.
IMPORTANTMake sure that no
creases from in the rear window while
you are doing this. Make sure the boot lid is
completely closed to
avoid interference with
the hood housing cover. (A beep
will however warn you when you
try to open the hood housing cov-
er when the boot is not closed
properly).
Only open or close the
hood while the car is sta-
tionary.
