SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about 10 minutes.
Before summer, have the system inspected at a Fiat

The system uses R134a refrigerant fluid
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances should R12 fluid be used as it is in-
compatible with the system components.
