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.

57GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
Do not apply stickers or
other objects to the
steering wheel or to the
passenger's air bag cover or on
the side roof lining. Never apply
objects on the dashboard on pas-
senger side (e.g. mobile phones)
since they could interfere with
proper passenger air bag inflation
and cause severe injuries. – car wedging under other vehicles
or protective barriers (for
example under a truck or guard
rail);
as it offers no additional protection
compared with the seat belts, conse-
quently, it would be pointless. There-
fore, failure to come into action in the
above circumstances does not mean
that the system is not working prop-
erly.FRONT AIRBAG
PASSENGER SIDEThe passenger side airbag was de-
signed and calibrated to protect a per-
son wearing seat belts.
When fully inflated, the bag will fill
most of the space between the dash-
board and the passenger.
Manual deactivation
The passenger side airbag can be de-
activated if it is absolutely necessary
to carry a child in the front passenger
seat.
Turn the specific control switch un-
der the middle of the dashboard be-
tween the sound system compart-
ment and the oddment compartment
fig. 81with the ignition key to deac-
tivate the airbag. SERIOUS DAN-
GER: Never place
cradle child’s seats
on the front passenger seat of
cars fitted with passenger air bag.
Air bag activation could cause se-
rious injuries, even mortal. In the
case of need, always deactivate
the passenger’s air bag when a
child’s seat is placed on the front
seat. The front passenger’s seat
shall be adjusted in the most
backward position to prevent any
contact between child’s seat and
dashboard. Even if not compul-
sory by law, you are recom-
mended to reactivate the air bag
immediately as soon as child
transport is no longer necessary.

AT THE FILLING
STATION
The Fiat 600’s pollution control de-
vices make it essential to use unleaded
petrol only.
However, to avoid mistakes, the fuel
filler is too small for the leaded petrol
pump. Octane rating (R.O.N.) must
not be lower than 95.

INSTALLATION OF
ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed
after buying the car or in aftermarket
shall bear the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the in-
stallation of transceivers provided that
installation is carried out at a special-
ized shop, workmanlike performed
and in compliance with manufacturer’s
specifications.
IMPORTANTInstallation of de-
vices resulting in modifications of car
characteristics may cause driving li-
cense seizing by traffic agents and al-
so the lapse of the warranty as con-
cerns defects due to the abovemen-
tioned modification or traceable back
to it directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all respon-
sibility for damages caused by the in-
stallation of non-genuine accessories
or not recommended by Fiat Auto
S.p.A. and installed not in compliance
with the specified requirements. RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND
CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Mobile phones and other radio trans-
ceiver equipment (e.g.: HAM radio sys-
tems and the like) shall not be used in-
side the car unless a separate aerial is
mounted.
IMPORTANTThe use of mobile
phones, HAM radio systems or other
similar devices inside the passenger
compartment (without separate aeri-
al) may cause electronic systems
equipping the car to malfunction. This
could compromise safety in addition
to constituting a potential hazard for
the passengers.
In addition, transmission and recep-
tion of these devices may be affected
by the shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly
comply with the instructions , for
use provided by the mobile phone’s
manufacturer.

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.

120CAR MAINTENANCE
– Do not check polarity through
sparking.
– Disconnect the electronic units if
you are electrically welding the car
body. Remove the units if tempera-
tures exceed 80°C (special operations
on the bodywork etc.).
IMPORTANTIf the sound system
or car alarm systems are not installed
correctly, they can interfere with the
working of the electronic control
units. ELECTRONIC
CONTROL UNITS
When the car is being used normally,
special measures are not necessary.
The following instructions must be
followed very carefully, however, if
you work on the electrical system or
in cases where emergency starting is
necessary:
– Never disconnect the battery from
the electrical system while the engine
is running.
– Disconnect the battery from the
electrical system if you are recharg-
ing it.
– Never perform emergency starts
with a battery charger. Always use an
auxiliary battery.
– Be particularly careful when con-
necting the battery to the electrical
system. Ensure the battery posts are
connected up to the right leads (the
polarity is correct) and check that the
connection has been made properly.
– Do not connect or disconnect the
terminals of the electronic units while
the ignition key is at MAR. Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly
and without bearing the features
of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
Furthermore, remember that high
intake electric devices (such as baby
bottle warmers, vacuum cleaners, cel-
lular phones, mini-fridges, etc.) pow-
ered when the engine is offcan
deploy the battery.
IMPORTANTIf you need to install
added systems to the vehicle, im-
proper wiring connections, in partic-
ular if they affect safety devices, are
dangerous.

battery even when the key is not in-
serted (car parked) and can deploy
the battery.
The total intake of these systems
(factory and after-market) must be
less than 0.6 mA x Ah (of the battery)
