LOOKING AFTER THE
SYSTEM
During the winter, the climate control
system 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
and contains CFC.
SELF-STANDING SUPPLEMENTARY
HEATER (where provided)
The vehicle can be equipped, upon request,
with two different self-standing
heaters: one is totally automatic
whereas the other is programmable.
AUTOMATIC VERSION
The supplementary heater is totally independent
from the engine.
This heater is switched on automatically
(if required) when turning the ignition
key to MAR.
WARNING
The heater burns fuel in the
same way as the engine,
though, of course, to a lesser degree
and therefore to avoid intoxication
and suffocation, never use the supplementary
heater in closed areas,
garages or workshops not equipped
with specific exhaust evacuation
devices even for short periods of
time.
PROGRAMMABLE VERSION
The supplementary heater is totally
independent from the engine and can
be used to:
– heat the passenger compartment
when the engine is off;
– defrost the windows;
– heat the engine coolant and consequently
the engine before starting.
The system consists of:
– a diesel burner to heat coolant with
exhaust fume muffler;
– a metering pump connected to the
vehicle fuel pipes to feed the burner;
– a heat exchanger connected to the
engine cooling system pipes;
