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
The following keys are provided with
the car:
– two keys Aif the car is not
equipped with remote controlled
electrical door locking system;
– two keys Aand two remote con-
trols Bif the car is equipped with re-
mote controlled electrical door lock-
ing system.

When you ask for extra keys, re-
member that all the keys, both the
new ones and those you already pos-
sess, must be stored in the memory
(up to a maximum of 7). Go to your
Fiat Dealership, taking all the keys
in your possession and the CODE
card with you.
The Fiat Dealershipmay ask you
to demonstrate that you own the car.
The codes of any keys that are not
available when the new storage proce-
dure is carried out will be deleted from
the memory to prevent any lost or
stolen keys being used to start the car.

Used batteries pollute
the environment. Dispose
of them in the special
containers as specified by current
legislation or take them to your
nearest Fiat Dealership, which
will deal with their disposal.
THE REMOTE
CONTROL
The remote control has a button A-
fig. 3 and a led Bto turn door lock-
ing on; the button activates the con-
trol and the led flashes while the
transmitter is sending the code to the
receiver.
The radio-frequency wave remote
control should only be used near the
car.

Ministerial homologation
In accordance with the legislation
covering radio frequencies in force in
each country, we should like to point
out that:
– the market-specific homologation
numbers are listed at the back of this
handbook (homologation fiche are
provided for some countries);
– in markets requiring transmitter
marking, the transmitter code is
printed on the remote control.REPLACING THE BATTERIES
fig. 4
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,
as follows:
1) open the plastic shells using the
tip of a screwdriver inserted in the
ring groove indicated in figure;
2) insert a new battery Brespecting
the polarity;
3) close the plastic shells.

105IN AN EMERGENCY
JUMP STARTING
See
JUMP STARTINGin this chapter.
IF THE BATTERY
IS FLAT
First of all, read the CAR MAINTE-
NANCEchapter for the steps to be
taken to avoid the battery running
down and to ensure it has a long life.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
You are advised to recharge the bat-
tery slowly for a period of approxi-
mately 24 hours at a low amperage.
Charging for too long could damage
the battery.
Proceed as follows:
1)Disconnect the electric system
from the battery terminals.
IMPORTANTWhere relevant,
switch the electronic car alarm off
with the remote control.3)Turn on the charger.
4)When you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting the
battery.
5)Reconnect the cables to the bat-
tery terminals. Make sure the polarity
is correct.
The liquid in the battery
is poisonous and corro-
sive. Do not let it touch
the skin or eyes. Recharging the
battery should be done in a well-
ventilated area away from naked
flames or possible sources of
sparks: explosion and fire risk. Do not attempt to
recharge a frozen bat-
tery. Thaw is first other-
wise it could explode. If the bat-
tery froze, make sure the inter-
nal elements are not broken
(short-circuit risk) and that the
casing is not cracked (risk of
spilling the poisonous and corro-
sive liquid).
Under no circumstances
should a battery charger
be used to start the en-
gine: it could damage the elec-
tronic systems and in particular
the ignition and injection control
units.

113CAR 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.
