To open: 1) press on the point indicated and open the flap fig. 90; To close: 2) turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it.
001-069 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 69 IMPORTANT If required, replace the fuel cap with another genuine cap to avoid affecting the efficiency of the fuel vapour recovery system. Keep naked flames or lighted cigarettes away from the fuel filler hole as there is a danger of fire. Do not bend too close to the hole either so as not to breathe in harmful vapours. PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT Protecting the environment has been the guiding principle in the design of the Fiat 600 right from the start.
070-082 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 70 DRIVING YOUR CAR STARTING THE ENGINE It is dangerous to let the engine run in a garage or other closed area. The engine consumes oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other poisonous fumes. Do not touch the high voltage cables (spark plug leads) when the engine is running. IMPORTANT Do not press down the accelerator before starting the engine. 70 DRIVING YOUR CAR 1) Ensure that the handbrake is up. 2) Put the gear lever into neutral.
070-082 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 71 EMERGENCY START-UP If the Fiat CODE system fails to recognise that code transmitted by the ignition key (instrument panel warning light ¢ on) the emergency start-up can be performed by using the CODE card code. See the IN AN EMERGENCY. Bump starting by pushing, towing or rolling downhill must be avoided at all costs. This way of starting could cause a rush of fuel into the catalytic exhaust pipe and damage it beyond repair.
070-082 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 72 HANDBRAKE The handbrake lever is between the front seats. Pull the handbrake lever upwards until the car cannot be moved. Four or five clicks are generally enough when the car is on level ground while nine or ten may be required if the car is on a steep slope or laden. IMPORTANT If this is not the case, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted.
070-082 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 73 IMPORTANT Reverse gear can only be engaged when the car is completely stationary. With the engine running, before engaging the reverse gear, wait for at least two seconds with the clutch pedal pressed fully down to avoid damaging or grating the gears. To change the gear properly (with mechanical clutch) you must push the clutch pedal fully down. It is therefore essential that there is nothing under the pedals.
070-082 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 74 Roof rack/ski rack Climate control system Remove roof racks and ski racks from the roof of the car as soon as they are no longer needed. These accessories reduce the aerodynamic penetration of the vehicle and will increase consumption. When having to transport particularly large loads it is better to use a trailer. The climate control system is a further drag on the engine causing higher fuel consumption (on average, up to 20%).
070-082 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 75 Top speed As speed increases, so does the fuel consumption: note that passing from 90 to 120 km/h increases consumption by about +30%. Keep your speed as steady as possible and avoid unnecessary braking and accelerations that cost fuel and increase emissions considerably. It is better to drive “smoothly” trying to foresee the manoeuvres to avoid imminent dangers and always respect the safety distance to avoid the need to slow down suddenly.
070-082 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 76 LOOKING AFTER EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES The correct use of pollution control devices not only ensures respect for the environment but also has an effect on the car’s performance. Keeping these devices in good condition is therefore a fundamental rule for driving that is easy on your pocket and on the environment too. The first step to take is to follow the Service Schedule to the letter. If your car has a petrol engine use only unleaded petrol.
070-082 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 77 TOWING A TRAILER IMPORTANT The car must be fitted with a homologated tow hitch and suitable electrical system for towing a caravan or trailer.

Follow the emergency start-up procedure to start the engine. Read the whole procedure carefully before trying to carry it out. If you make a mistake, you must turn the ignition key back to STOP and repeat the whole operation from the beginning (step 1).
083-104 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 84 JUMP STARTING IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the two negative terminals: sparks could ignite the flammable gas from the battery. If the battery is flat, you can use another battery to start the engine. Its capacity must be the same or slightly greater than the flat battery (see the chapter TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS). If the auxiliary battery is fitted in another vehicle, prevent accidental contact of metallic parts.
083-104 Seicento GB 22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 85 BUMP STARTING IF A TYRE IS PUNCTURED General instructions Do not bump start by pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This way of starting could cause a rush of fuel into the catalytic exhaust pipe and damage it beyond repair. Remember that until the engine has started the brake booster and power steering systems will not work and a greater effort will therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.
22-11-2007 10:50 Pagina 86 Do not fit snow chains on a space-saver spare wheel. If a front wheel (drive wheel) is punctured and you require snow chains to proceed, take a standard wheel from the rear axle and fit the spacesaver spare wheel in its place. Having fitted two standard wheels on the front drive axle, you can use snow chains, thus solving the emergency situation. Never fit a traditional tyre on a space-saver spare wheel rim. Have the replace wheel repair and refitted as soon as possible.
