119CAR MAINTENANCE
Do not keep accessories (e.g. sound
system, hazard lights etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running.
IMPORTANTA battery which is
kept at a charge of less than 50% for
any length of time will be damaged by
sulphation leading to a reduction in
cranking power and a higher risk of
the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at –10°C).
If the car is inactive for a long period
of time, refer to
STORING THE CAR, in
the chapter
DRIVING YOUR CAR.
If you want to add accessories after
buying the car (antitheft system, free-
hand phone kit, radio navigator, etc.)
visit a Fiat Dealership. They can
suggest the most suitable accessories
to get and check whether the electric
system can support the required load
or whether a larger capacity battery is
required. USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
When you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly. The ceiling lights must be off.

TIPS FOR KEEPING
THE BODYIN GOOD
CONDITIONS
Paintwork
The paintwork is not only to make
your car look attractive but also to
protect the steel.
If your car is scuffed or scratched
deeply you are therefore advised to
touch up the paintwork as necessary
to prevent rust from forming.
Only use genuine products when
touching up the paintwork (see the
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSchapter.
Ordinary maintenance of the paint-
work means washing it. The frequency
you should do this depends on the
conditions and the environment the
car is driven in. For example, in areas
with a high level of air pollution, or on
roads sprinkled with road saltwash
the car more frequently.Detergents pollute wa-
ter. For this reason, the
car must be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
To wash the car properly:
1) Remove the aerial from the roof
to avoid damaging it in an automatic
car wash.
2) Wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water.
3) Wipe a sponge with a slightly
soapy solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge.
4) Rinse well with water and dry
with a jet of air or a chamois leather.
When drying the car, be careful to
get at those parts which are not so
easily seen e.g. the door frames, bon-
net and around the headlights where
water can most readily collect.
– the use of zinc-plated (or pre-
treated) sheet steel which is highly re-
sistant to rust;
– the spraying of the underbody, en-
gine compartment, inside the wheel-
arches and other parts with wax-
based products with a high protective
capacity;
– spraying plastic-coating materials
to protect the most exposed points:
under the door, inside the wings, the
edges etc.;
– the use of “open” box sections to
prevent condensation and water from
building up and rusting the inside of
the parts.
BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your Fiat 600 is covered by guaran-
tee against any original structural or
body part being holed by rust. Refer
to the “Warranty Booklet” for the
general conditions of this guarantee.
