The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment in the event of leakage.
Under no circumstances should
R12 fluid be used as it is incom-
patible with the system compo-
nents and contains CFCs.
MANUAL CLIMATE
CONTROL
During 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
.
BODYWORK
PROTECTING THE CAR
FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of rust are:
– atmospheric pollution
– salt and humidity in the atmosphere
(coastal or very hot and humid areas);
– environmental conditions that are
specific to the season.
In addition, the abrasiveness of dust
in the atmosphere and sand carried by
the wind as well as mud and stones
kicked up by other cars must not be
underestimated.
Fiat has used leading-edge techno-
logical solutions to effectively protect
the body from rust.
The main ones are:
– Painting systems and products that
make the car particularly resistant to
rust and scratching.
– The use of zinc-plated (or pre-
treated) sheet steel which is highly re-
sistant to rust.
– The spraying of the underbody, en-
gine compartment, inside the wheel-
arches and other parts with wax-based
products with a high protective ca-
pacity.
– Spraying plastic-coating materials
to protect the most exposed points:
under the door, inside the wings, the
edges etc.
– The use of “open” box sections to
prevent condensation and water from
building up and rusting the inside of
the parts.
