SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been at-
tached near or actually on some of
the components of your Fiat 600.
These labels bear symbols that remind
you of the precautions to be taken as
regards that particular component.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
To further protect your car from at-
tempted theft, it has been fitted with
an electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem called “Fiat CODE”, which is au-
tomatically activated when the ignition
key is removed. The ignition keys, in
fact, are fitted with an electronic de-
vice that transmits a coded signal to
the Fiat CODE control unit; only if
this signal is recognised can the engine
be started.
The modulated signal is a password.
Only if the control unit recognises the
key can the engine be started.The keys fig. 1
With the car, the following keys A
are provided.
The key with a blue grip is used for:
– starting
– unlocking and locking the doors
– boot tailgate (VAN versions only)
– deactivating the passenger side
airbag.

VENTILATION
1)Central and side vents: com-
pletely open.
2)Air temperature knob A-fig. 34:
pointer in the blue sector.
3)Slider Dat
U.
4)Fan knob B: pointer at required
speed.
5)Air distribution knob C: pointer
at ¥.
RECIRCULATION
When the slider Dis in position
Tonly air already inside the pas-
senger compartment is recirculated.
IMPORTANTThis function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air is
heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tun-
nel etc.). You are advised against us-
ing this function for long periods how-
ever, especially if there are a lot of
people in the car. Do not use the re-
circulation function during cold/wet
weather as this will increase the like-
lihood of the windows misting up.
MANUAL CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The climate control system is ad-
justed manually.
CONTROLS fig. 35
Switch E automatically sets the fan
to the 1
stspeed.
A- Air temperature knob (mixing
hot and cold air).
B- Fan knob.
C- Air distribution knob.
D- Air recirculation slider. IMPORTANTWhen the outside
temperature is very high, the air will
be cooled more quickly if the air re-
circulation function is turned on. This
function is also particularly useful
when the outside air is heavily pol-
luted (in a traffic jam, tunnel etc.). You
are advised against using this function
for long periods however, especially if
there are a lot of people in the car.
E- Climate control on/off switch.
The system uses refrig-
erating fluid R134a which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment if it accidentally leaks.
Under no circumstances should
fluid R12 be used as this is in-
compatible with the system’s
component parts.

CLIMATE CONTROL
(Cooling)
1)Air temperature knob A-fig. 35:
pointer in the blue sector.
2)Climate control: press button √E.
3)Slider D: at T.
4)Fan knob B: pointer at required
speed.
5)Air distribution knob C: pointer
at ¥.
To decrease cooling effects: set
pointer to
U, increase temperature
and decrease fan speed.
For normal heating and ventila-
tion , do not use the manual climate
control system. Use the normal heat-
ing and ventilation system instead (see
following chapter).IMPORTANTThe manual climate
control system is very useful for
speeding up the demising process be-
cause it dries the air. Simply adjust the
controls for the demistingfunction
(see previous section) and switch the
manual climate control system on by
pressing knob √. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
During the winter, the climate con-
trol system must be turned on at least
once a month for about ten minutes.
Have the system and pollen filter ef-
ficiency checked before the summer
at a Fiat Dealership.
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 CFC.
