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.

7GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
When the car is parked on a steep
slope the reel mechanism may block;
this is normal. The reel mechanism
prevents the webbing coming out
when it is jerked or if the car brakes
sharply, as in a collision or when cor-
nering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial
seat belts with three anchor points
and reel. To unfasten the seat belts, press but-
ton D. Guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent
it from twisting.SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
chest straight and rested against the
seat back.
Take hold the tongue B-fig. 3and
insert it into the buckle C, until hear-
ing the locking click.
If it jams, let it rewind for a short
stretch, then pull it out again without
jerking.

Do not press button D
when running.
Through the reel, the belt automat-
ically adapts to the body of the pas-
senger wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.

ATTENZIONE:

fig. 7a
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.

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to four dif-
ferent positions fig. 16.
– STOP: engine off, key can be re-
moved and the steering column is
locked mechanically. Some electrical
devices can be used (e.g. sound sys-
tem).
– MAR: drive position. All electrical
devices can be used.
– AVV: engine ignition.
– PARK: engine off, parking lights
on, steering column locked. Press but-
ton Aand turn the key to PARK.
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
To engage the lock: remove the
ignition key at STOPor PARKand
turn the steering wheel until it locks. If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to
steal your car), get a Fiat Deal-
ership to make sure it is still func-
tioning properly before you start
driving again.
Always remove the igni-
tion key when you get
out of the car. This will
prevent anyone from acciden-
tally working the controls. Re-
member to apply the handbrake
and, if the car is faced down on a
steep slope engage the first gear.
If it is facing up, engage the re-
verse gear.
Never remove the igni-
tion key while the car is
moving. The steering
wheel would automatically lock
as soon as you try to turn it. This
also applies when the car is being
towed.
fig. 16
P4Q00004
To release the lock: rock the
steering wheel slightly as you turn the
ignition key to MAR.
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steer-
ing column modifications (e.g.: in-
stallation of anti-theft Device)
that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the car with
homologation requirements.

24GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
The car is fitted with an
electronic braking device
(EBD). The >and x
warning light will come on at the
same time when the engine is
running to indicate that there is
an EBD system failure. In this
case violent braking may be ac-
companied by early rear wheel
locking with the possibility of
skidding. Drive the car extremely
carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system
checked. Warning light >alone,
with the engine running,
normally indicates a fault
in the ABS system only. In this
case, the braking system is still
efficient, though without the
anti-locking device. Under these
conditions, performance of the
EBD system may be reduced.
Also in this case, you are advised
to go immediately to the nearest
Fiat Dealership, driving in such a
way to avoid sharp braking to
have the system checked. FUEL RESERVE
(amber)
When there are about 7
litres of fuel left in the tank.
