ADDITIONAL ELECTRIC HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)

The additional electric heater ensures more rapid
passenger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions, if the
following conditions are verified:
❒ outside temperature low;
❒ engine coolant temperature low;
❒ engine on;
❒ fan speed set to 1

speed;

❒ knob A turned completely clockwise to red

section.

The heater is switched off when at least one of the
conditions above is no longer verified.

Note The power of the electric heater is modulated
according to the battery voltage.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

In winter, the climate control system must be turned
on at least once a month for about 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at a Fiat Dealership
before the summer.

The system uses R134a coolant which
does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Under no

circumstances use R12 fluid, which is
incompatible with the components of the system.
