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.

P4Q00226
Operations which lead
to knocks, vibrations or
localised heating (over
100°C for a maximum of 6
hours) in the area around the
pretensioners may cause damage
or trigger them. These devices
are not affected by vibrations
caused by irregularities of the
road surface or low obstacles
such as kerbs, etc. Contact a Fiat
Dealership for any assistance.A small amount of smoke may be
produced. This smoke is in no way
toxic and presents no fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require
any maintenance or greasing. Anything
that modifies its original conditions in-
validates its efficiency. If due to unusual
natural events (floods, sea storms,
etc.) the device has been affected by
water and mud, it must necessarily be
replaced.
The pretensioner can
only be used once.
After a collision that has
triggered it, have it replaced at
a Fiat Dealership. The validity of
the device is written on the plate
located on the front left door
post. The pretensioners should
be replaced at a Fiat Dealership
as this date approaches.PRETENSIONERS
In order to make the safety belt pro-
tective action even more efficient, ve-
hicle is equipped with pretensioners
on driver side and on front passenger
side (if car is equipped with passen-
ger side air bag option), that, in case
of a violent front crash, recall the safe-
ty belt by a few cm, thus ensuring
proper adherence of safety belt to pas-
senger body, before the retaining ac-
tion starts.
The seat belt locks to indicate that
the device has intervened; the seat belt
cannot be drawn back up even when
guiding it manually.
IMPORTANTTo obtain the high-
est degree of protection from the ac-
tion of the pretensioning device, wear
the seat belt keeping it firmly close to
the chest and pelvis.

next to the sound system compart-
ment (one for each side). Press these
buttons to:
A - open/close the driver’s side win-
dow;
B - open/close the passenger’s side
window.Improper use of the
electric windows can be
dangerous. Before and
during their operation ensure
that any passengers in the car
are not at risk from the moving
glass either by personal objects
getting caught in the mechanism
or by being injured by it directly.
fig. 63
P4Q00021
Always remove the igni-
tion key when you get
out of the car to prevent
the electric windows being oper-
ated accidentally and constitut-
ing a danger to the people left in
the car.

109CAR MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT - Remote control
If when the remote control button
is pressed the doors are not
locked/unlocked or the performed
operation signal (indicator lights on)
does not appear, change the battery,
using spare batteries of the same kind.
IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Should the prevailing use of the car
be under one of the following specially
heavy conditions:
– trailer towing
– dusty roads
– short distances (less than 7-8 km)
repeated and with external tempera-
tures below zero.
– frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g. taxis
or door-to-door deliveries) or in case
of a long term inactivity replace engine
oil more frequently than required on
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PLAN.IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner more fre-
quently if the car is used on dusty
roads.
If you are in doubt about how often
the engine oil or the air cleaner should
be changed in relation to how you use
the car, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in your battery should be
checked, where possible at the start
of the winter, to limit the risk of the
battery electrolyte freezing. This
check should be carried out more fre-
quently if the car is mainly used for
short trips or if it is fitted with acces-
sories that permanently take in elec-
tricity even when the ignition key is
removed, especially in the case of af-
ter market accessories.You should check the battery fluid
(electrolyte) level more frequently
than shown in the
SERVICE SCHEDULEin
this chapter if the vehicle is used in
hot climates or particularly demand-
ing conditions.
Maintenance of your car
should be entrusted to a
Fiat Dealership. For ordi-
nary routine maintenance oper-
ations which you are able to
carry out yourself, ensure that
you have the necessary tools and
original Fiat spare parts and flu-
ids available. Do not carry out
servicing operations if you have
no experience.
