Dear New Car Owner
Thank you for selecting Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat 600.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all your new Fiat 600’s features and use it in the best pos-
sible way.
You should read it right through before taking to the road for the first time.
You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of the car to help you derive the max-
imum from your 600’s technical features. You will also find very valuable tips for your own safety, the car’s well-
being and about how to protect the environment.
The enclosed Fiat Warranty Booklet list the services that Fiat offers its Customers:
• the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity
• the range of additional services available to Fiat Customers.
Best regards and good motoring.
This Owner Handbook describes all the Fiat 600 versions. As a consequence, you should consider only
the information which is related to the engine and bodywork version of the car you purchased.

without touching the accelerator; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING OVER INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit
a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric
system can support the required load.

Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the vehicle. You should always keep the electronic code written on
the CODE card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.

Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safe-
ty features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS …
… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your vehicle, and its mainte-
nance. Pay particular attention to the symbols "(personal safety) #(environmental protection) â(vehicle
well-being).

SAFE AND ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY DRIVING
Safety and respect for the environment are the guidelines inspiring the Fiat 600 project from the beginning.
Thanks to its design, 600 has passed extremely strict safety tests. The Fiat 600, from this point of view, is ranked
at the top levels for its class anticipating the parameters of the future.
Moreover, the constant strive towards new and efficient solutions for environmental protection makes your
600 a model to be imitated also from this point of view.
All versions are equipped with environmental-friendly devices which cut down harmful emissions, as per legis-
lation in force.

5GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
The signs you see on this page are very important. They highlight those parts of the handbook where, more than
anywhere else, you should stop for a minute and read carefully.
As you can see, each sign has a different symbol to make it immediately clear and easy to identify the subjects in
the different areas:
THE SIGNS TO HELP YOU DRIVE CORRECTLY
Personal safety.
Important: total or partial failure to
follow these instructions can place dri-
ver, passengers or others in serious
danger. Protecting the environment.
This shows you the correct proce-
dures to follow to ensure that the car
does not harm the environment. The car’s wellbeing.
Important. Total or partial failure to
follow these instructions will result in
the risk of serious damage to the car
and may invalidate the warranty as
well.

6GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
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.

OPERATION
Each time the ignition key is turned
to STOP, or PARK, the protection
system will automatically immobilise
the engine.
When the key is turned to MARto
start the engine:
1) if the code is recognised the ¢
warning light on the instrument panel
will flash briefly; this means the pro-
tection system has recognised the key
code and deactivates the immobiliser,
turn the key to AVV, and the engine
will start;
2) if the ¢warning light stays on,
the code has not been recognised. In
this case, turn the key to STOP po-
sition and then turn it back to MAR;
if the engine remains immobilised, try
with the other keys provided.If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, use the emergency starting pro-
cedure (see
IN AN EMERGENCY) and
take your car to the nearest Fiat
Dealershipas soon as possible.
When the car is travelling and the
key is at MAR:
1) if the ¢warning light comes on
while the car is moving, this means
that the system is running a self-test
(e.g. due to a voltage drop);
2) if the warning light ¢flashes
when the key is in MAR the car is not
protected by the Immobiliser. Contact
your Fiat Dealershipand get them
to store the codes of all the keys in
the memory.
IMPORTANT The electronic
components inside the key may be
damaged if the key is subjected to
sharp knocks.IMPORTANTEach key provided
with the car has its own code, differ-
ent from all the others, which must be
stored in the memory of the system
control unit.
All the keys (originals and
duplicates) and the
CODE card must be
handed over to the new owner
when selling 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.

covering radio frequencies in force in
each country, we should like to point
out that:

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

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
