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 possible 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 maximum from your 600’s technical features.
MUST BE READ! REFUELLING K Refuel petrol engine vehicles with unleaded petrol, octane rating (RON) no lower than 95. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused. ENGINE START-UP Make sure the handbrake is pulled up; put the gear lever into neutral; press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touching the accelerator; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
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. CODE card 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.
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.
THE SIGNS TO HELP YOU DRIVE CORRECTLY 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: Personal safety. Important: total or partial failure to follow these instructions can place driver, passengers or others in serious danger.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SYMBOLS Special coloured labels have been attached 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 The keys fig. 1 To further protect your car from attempted theft, it has been fitted with an electronic engine immobiliser system called “Fiat CODE”, which is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.
A - The key with a blue grip is used for: – front side: A - the electronic code to be used for emergency starting; – starting – unlocking and locking the doors – boot tailgate (VAN versions only) – unlocking and locking the fuel tank cap – deactivating the passenger side airbag. B - the mechanical key code; – reverse side: C - the spaces for any remote control stickers. B - – Remote control for electrical door locking system. Keep the CODE card in a safe place. The CODE card fig.
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 MAR to start the engine: 1) if the code is recognised the ¢ warning light on the instrument panel will flash briefly; this means the protection 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.
THE REMOTE CONTROL The remote control has a button Afig. 3 and a led B to turn door locking on; the button activates the control 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.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button D. Guide the seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting. USING THE SEAT BELTS The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against the seat back. Do not press button D when running. Take hold the tongue B-fig. 5 and insert it into the buckle C, until hearing the locking click. If it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.
The rear seat belts shall be worn as shown in figure 6. Figure 6a shows wrong seat belt fastening, not to be followed. ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT HEIGHT USING THE CENTRAL REAR SEAT BELT (For versions/markets) There are two anchoring positions A and B-fig. 7 for front seat belts on the door post. To fasten the seat belt: push the fastener tongue A-fig. 7a into slot B of the buckle, until you hear it click.
PRETENSIONERS To increase the efficiency of the front and rear (where provided) seat belts, the Fiat Panda is fitted with pretensioners. These devices “feel”, through a sensor, that a violent crash is in progress and rewind the seat belts a few centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt adheres perfectly to the wearer before the restraining action begins. A small amount of smoke may be produced. This smoke is in no way toxic and presents no fire hazard.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS The driver must comply with (and have the vehicle occupants follow) all the local legal regulations concerning the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before starting driving. The belt should not be twisted, make sure that it is taut and adheres to the passenger’s body. The upper part should pass over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally.
Never travel with a child sitting on the passenger’s lap with a single belt to protect them both fig. 9 and do not fasten other objects. Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the risk of injury in the case of accident is greatly reduced for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt. HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT CONDITIONS 1) Always use the belt with the tape taut and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without impediments.
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY The results of research on the best child restraint systems are contained in the European Standard ECE-R44. This Standard enforces the use of restraint systems classified in five groups: Group 0 - 0-10 kg in weight Group 0+ - 0-13 kg in weight Group 1 9-18 kg in weight Group 2 15-25 kg in weight Group 3 22-36 kg in weight Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint systems, children are considered as adults and wear the seat belts normally.
GROUPS 0 and 0+ Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on a cradle seat, which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp deceleration. The cradle is restrained by the car seat belts, as shown in fig. 12 and in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts. The figure is only an example for mounting. Attain to the instructions for fastening which must be enclosed with the specific child restraint system you are using.
GROUP 1 Seats exist which are suitable for covering weight groups 0 and 1 with a rear connection to the car belts and their own belts to restraint the child. Due to their size, they can be dangerous if installed incorrectly fastened to the car belts with a cushion. Carefully follow the instructions for installation provided with the seat. Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried facing forwards, with seats fitted with front cushion fig.
GROUP 3 PASSENGER SEATS COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON CHILD’S SEAT USE Starting from 22 kg to 36 kg in weight, the size of the child’s chest no longer requires a support to space the child’s back from the seat back. P4Q01080 Children taller than 1.50 m can wear seat belts like adults. 18 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR U = suitable for child restraint systems of the “Universal” category, according to European Standard ECE R44 for the specified “Groups”.
Below is a summary of the rules of safety to be followed for carrying children: 1) The recommended position for installing children’s seat is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected in the case of a crash. 2) If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated always check the warning light F on the cluster to make sure that it has actually been deactivated. 3) Attain to the instructions for fastening the specific child restraint system which you are using.
IGNITION SWITCH If the ignition switch has been tampered with (e.g. someone has tried to steal your car), get a Fiat Dealership to make sure it is still functioning properly before you start driving again. The key can be turned to four different positions fig. 16. – STOP: engine off, key can be removed and the steering column is locked mechanically. Some electrical devices can be used (e.g. sound system). – MAR: drive position. All electrical devices can be used.
DASHBOARD Left-hand drive versions The presence and position of the instruments and warning and indicator lights may vary according to the version of the car. fig. 17 P4Q00225 1.

WARNING LIGHTS If after the display of the message the smell of fuel or leaks from the supply system are noted,do not re-engage the switch to avoid the risk of fire. These warning lights will come on in the following cases: y 1 MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS (blue) When the main beam headlights are turned on. DIRECTION INDICATORS (flashing) (green) When the direction indicator control stalk is operated. > 3 EXTERNAL LIGHTS (green) P4Q01058 When the side/taillights are switched on.
The car is fitted with an electronic braking device (EBD). The > and x warning light will come on at the same time when the engine is running to indicate that there is an EBD system failure. In this case violent braking may be accompanied by early rear wheel locking with the possibility of skidding. Drive the car extremely carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked. Warning light > alone, with the engine running, normally indicates a fault in the ABS system only.
U ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE (EOBD) (amber) In normal conditions, the warning light will come on when the ignition key is turned to MAR and should go out as soon as the engine is started. The initial lighting up shows that the warning light is working properly. 2. Flashing - warning that the catalyser can be damaged (see EOBD SYSTEM in this chapter). If the warning light starts flashing, release the accelerator pedal and slow the engine until the warning light stops flashing.
HANDBRAKE ENGAGED / LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL (red) x In three cases: 1. When the handbrake is engaged. 2. When the brake fluid level falls below the minimum 3. With the > warning light to indicate an EBD electronic brake force corrector failure. If the x warning light comes on when travelling, check whether the handbrake is engaged. If the warning light stays on and the handbrake is not engaged, stop immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light turns on, but it should go off after four seconds. If it turns on when travelling, stop the car, leaving the engine on and slightly accelerated to further activate the circulation of the coolant fluid. If the warning light does not go off within the next 2 or 3 minutes, stop the engine and contact Fiat Dealership. v ENGINE OIL PRESSURE TOO LOW (red) When the engine oil pressure drops under the normal value.
Once you have let go of the lever, check that the seat is firmly locked in the runners by trying to move it back and forth. Failure to lock the seat in place could result in the seat moving suddenly and dangerously. HEAD RESTRAINTS Rear seats fig. 28 Front seats fig. 27 Two fixed head restraints are provided for the rear seats. The height of the front head restraints can be adjusted. To adjust: – press button A and move the head restraint vertically to the required position; fig.
ACCESSING THE REAR SEATS The rear seats can comfortably be accessed from both sides. DRIVING MIRROR DOOR MIRRORS This mirror can be adjusted by means of lever A-fig. 30: Manual adjustment From inside the car, turn knob B-fig. 31. 1) anti-dazzle position; Pull lever C-fig. 29 upwards to tilt the seat forward. 2) normal position.

HAZARD LIGHTS These come on when switch Afig. 46, is pressed regardless of the position of the ignition key. A - Front foglight on/off button. The external lights must be on to switch the front foglights on. B - Rear foglight on/off button. The external lights or the front foglights must be on to switch the rear foglights on.
HORN FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH Press one of the two area on the steering wheel shown in fig. 48. This is a safety cut-off switch which comes into operation in the case of an accident to block the supply of fuel thereby stopping the engine. If you cannot see any fuel leaks and the car is in a fit state to continue its journey, press button A-fig. 49 located in the engine compartment on the dashboard bulkhead to reactivate the fuel supply system, as illustrated.
INTERIOR EQUIPMENT Important. The cigar lighter gets very hot. Handle with care and do not let children use it: danger of fire or burns. ASHTRAY AND CIGAR LIGHTER IMPORTANT Make sure that the cigar lighter does in fact pop out after it has been pushed in. 2) To open the ashtray slide flap B-fig. 50. The ashtray can be removed. Use: Press the central tab in the ashtray down and pull the ashtray upwards fig. 51.
SUN VISORS fig. 55 SUNROOF These are positioned to the sides of the rear-view mirror. They can swing up or down or be pivoted sideways. Press the button as follows to open the top: ELECTRICAL – on the front side A-fig. 58 to close the top; Opening and closing the canvas top – on the rear side B to open the top. Do not attempt to open the roof if there is ice or snow on it as this may damage the top.
The top will stop as soon as the button is released. Consequently, hold button A pressed to open or close the top completely. Improper use of the electric top can be dangerous. Before and during its operation ensure that any passengers in the car are not at risk from the moving top either by personal objects getting caught in the mechanism or by being injured by it directly. If the electrical device does not work, take the key D-fig.
DOORS LOCKING - UNLOCKING Before opening a door, make sure this can be done in safety. From the outside – To unlock: turn the key to position 2-fig. 61 and pull the handle upwards. – To lock: turn the key to position 1-fig. 61 when the doors are perfectly closed. From the inside With centralised controls, both doors must be perfectly closed. If one of the doors is not closed they will not both be locked. Only open the doors with the car stationary.
– To lock: lower knob B on the door. With centralised controls, if both doors are perfectly closed, when one knob is lowered the other door is also simultaneously locked. As for locking the doors with a key, if one of the knobs cannot be lowered the doors are not perfectly closed. ELECTRIC WINDOWS Improper use of the electric windows can be dangerous.
BOOT To open it from inside the car, pull lever A-fig. 66 at the side of the driver’s seat. OPENING/CLOSING THE TAILGATE When using the boot, make sure that the load you are carrying does not exceed the permitted weight (see TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS). Also ensure that the items in the boot are arranged properly to prevent them being thrown forwards and injuring passengers should you brake sharply. The opening of the boot is made easier by the gas-filed struts on each side.
EXTENSION Pull the shelf outwards to release the pins A-fig. 68. How to extend the boot: The rear window shelf can be positioned behind the rear seat backs while not in use. 1) Remove the rear window shelf by releasing the two tie rod tips Afig. 67 from their housings B. 2) Grip the back of the cushion and tilt it forward against the seat backs of the front seats fig. 69. P4Q00067 fig.
To bring the seat to its normal position again: The car can be fitted with separate rear seats. – Tip the seat back fig. 71 backwards while holding the seat belts in front of the seat back. Ensure it clicks into place. With separate seats the boot extension possibilities are various and can be decided according to the number of passengers and how much luggage is to be transported: – Bring the cushion to a horizontal position making sure the seat belts do not remain underneath.
Heavy loads which are not securely anchored could seriously injure passengers in the event of an accident. IMPORTANT Check and adjust the height of the dipped headlight beam when travelling at night with a rather heavy load in the boot (see HEADLIGHTS in this chapter). Some versions are fitted with rear speakers located on the rear window shelf. When refitting the rear window shelf, reconnect connector to B-fig. 73 to reset speaker operation.
BONNET To open the bonnet: 1) Pull the lever shown in fig. 74 in the direction of the arrow. Important. The bonnet might fall violently if the support rod is not positioned properly. 2) Press tab B as shown in fig. 75. This should only be done when the car is stationary. 3) Lift the bonnet and release the support rod B-fig. 76 from its clip A. 4) Place the tip of the support rod in recess C of the bonnet. fig.
Take care that scarves, ties or loose clothing do not accidentally come near moving parts; they could become entangled with serious danger for the wearer. To close the bonnet: P4Q00070 1) keep the bonnet lid raised with one hand and remove the rod Bfig. 76 from the recess with the other C then secure it in its clip A. 2) lower the bonnet until approx. 20 cm from the engine compartment and then let it drop, ensuring it is fully closed and not just held in position by the safety catch.
After travelling a few kilometres, check that the screws securing the attachments are tight. Never exceed the permitted weight (see TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS). HEADLIGHTS SLANT COMPENSATION ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT BEAM When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means that the headlight beam rises. In this case, it is necessary to return it to the correct position.
ADJUSTING THE FRONT FOGLIGHTS ABS The foglight beam can be adjusted by means of screw A-fig. 79. The car is fitted with an ABS braking system, which prevents the wheels from locking when braking, makes the most of road grip and gives the best control when emergency braking under difficult road conditions. Have the lights checked at a Fiat Dealership and adjusted if necessary. The driver can tell the ABS system has come into play because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system gets noisier.
The ABS exploits the road hold available as much as possible but cannot increase it. You should always drive carefully on slippery surfaces and avoid any unnecessary risks. Braking while cornering always requires extreme care even when using ABS. If the ABS intervenes, it means that the grip between the type and the road is reduced with respect to the normal conditions. Reduce speed immediately to match the poor road conditions.
If the x brake fluid low warning light comes on, stop the vehicle immediately and contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system, in fact, can compromise brake system operation, both traditional systems and systems with ABS. FRONT AIRBAGS The car is fitted with front air bags (for versions/markets where applicable) for the driver and the passenger.
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 passenger side (e.g. mobile phones) since they could interfere with proper passenger air bag inflation and cause severe injuries. FRONT AIRBAG PASSENGER SIDE The passenger side airbag was designed and calibrated to protect a person wearing seat belts.
The switch has two positions: 1) Passenger side airbag activated: (position ON P ), instrument panel warning light off. Do not carry children on the front seat. 2) Passenger side airbag deactivated: (position OFF F), instrument panel warning light on. A child can be carried on the front seat with a suitable restraint system. The instrument panel warning light F will stay on until the passenger side airbag is reactivated.
If the ¬ warning light does not turn on when turning the ignition key to MAR or if it stays on when travelling, this could indicate a failure in safety retaining systems; under this condition air bags or pretensioners could not trigger in the event of collision or, in a restricted number of cases, they could trigger accidentally. Stop the car and contact Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
Correct operation of the front airbags and the pretensioners is guaranteed as long as the car is not overloaded. EOBD SYSTEM The EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) system continuously monitors the car emission system components.
P4Q00503 ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING SYSTEM IMPORTANT The electrical power steering system only works when the ignition key is at MAR. A new electrically controlled power steering system called EPAS (Electrical Power Assisted Steering) is fitted in the Fiat 600. The EPAS system is operated by an electric motor and consists of only two parts: a steering column with built-in electric motor and an electronic control unit.
The system is programmed at the factory to ensure variable degrees of assistance according to the requirements. In other words, power is increased for parking and reduced as the car’s speed increases. The EPAS system only works when the engine is running to avoid deploying the battery accidentally. Furthermore, it is equipped with a self-test function to detect faults and incorrect signals.
Use metal cables, ropes or straps strong enough to support the weight of the load to be fixed.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if you want to install a sound system after purchasing your car. Their staff will advise you on how to safeguard the life of the battery. Excessive idle intake can damage the battery and invalid the battery warranty as well. STANDARD SYSTEM The system (all versions) consists of: sound system power wires, front dashboard speaker wires, aerial wire, sound system housing, front speaker housing. 1) Remove the plastic cap A-fig. 85 screwed onto the car roof. 2) Screw in the aerial.

SPEAKERS SET-UP SYSTEM Use the speaker housings on the two sides of the dashboard. The vehicle is equipped with the following devices along with the standard system: – fig. 87 left speaker – 2 front speakers; – fig. 88 right speaker. – an aerial to be applied to the roof; 1) Unscrew the four screws B and remove the supporting grid. P4Q00129 – radio power cables.
Electric/electronic devices installed after buying the car or in aftermarket shall bear the and marking: Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized shop, workmanlike performed and in compliance with manufacturer’s specifications.
Never pour even the tiniest amount of leaded petrol in the tank, not even in an emergency; this would damage the catalytic exhaust beyond repair. FUEL TANK CAP An inefficient catalytic exhaust causes harmful emissions with consequent environmental pollution. 2) holding the cap still, turn the key anticlockwise fig. 91; 1) the cap coupling is “bayonet” type. Insert the cap (with the key) and turn it clockwise until it clicks; 3) turn the cap anticlockwise by about one fourth of a turn and remove it.
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.
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.
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.
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. HOW TO USE THE GEARS Instrument panel warning light x will come on when the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition key is at MAR.
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. Make sure mats are lying flat and do not get in the way of the pedals.
WHEN TRAVELLING – The first rule of safe driving is prudence. – Prudence also means putting yourself into a position where you can predict wrong or imprudent behaviour from other drivers. – Stick closely to the rules of the road in the particular country where the vehicle is being driven and, above all, do not exceed speed limits.
DRIVING AT NIGHT If you are driving at night these are the main rules to follow. – Drive especially carefully: it is harder to drive at night. – Slow down especially if the road is not lit. – At the first signs of sleepiness, stop: continuing would be a risk for yourself and everybody else. Only start driving again when you have had enough rest.
IMPORTANT On stretches of road with good visibility, switch off your rear fog lights; the brightness of these lights could annoy the people travelling in the cars behind – Remember that fog also means the tarmac is wet and therefore manoeuvres of all kinds are more difficult and stopping distances are longer. – Keep a good distance from the cars in front of you. – As far as possible, avoid spurts of speed or sudden deceleration. – Do not overtake other vehicles if you can help it.
– do not remain stationary in deep snow with the engine running: the snow could deviate the exhaust gas into the passenger compartment. DRIVING WITH ABS ABS is a braking system that essentially offers two advantages: 1) it prevents wheel lock-up and consequent skidding in emergency stops, particularly when the road does not offer much grip; 2) it makes it possible to brake and steer at the same time so you can avoid unexpected obstacles and direct the car where you want while braking.
Tyres Electric devices Tyre pressure should be checked at least once every four weeks: if the pressure is too low fuel consumption increases as the resistance to the rolling movement of the tyre is greater. In this state, tyre wear is increased and vehicle handling suffers which will effect safety. Use electric devices for the necessary time only.
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.
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.
TOWING A TRAILER IMPORTANT The car must be fitted with a homologated tow hitch and suitable electrical system for towing a caravan or trailer. Installation must be carried out by skilled personnel who will provide specific documentation for authorising use on roads. Fit special wing mirrors in accordance with the highway code. Remember that towing a trailer makes it harder for the car to climb the maximum gradients specified.

WINTER TYRES These are tyres which have been specifically designed for use on snow and ice and should be fitted in place of the existing tyres. Use winter tyres of the same size as the tyres provided with the car. Fiat Dealerships will be glad to offer advice on the right type of tyres according to your needs. For information on the tyres to be fitted, inflation pressure and winter tyre specifications, follow the prescriptions given in WHEELS, TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
SNOW CHAINS The use of snow chains is regulated by the legislation in force in the country the car is driven in. The chains may only be applied to the drive wheel tyres (front wheels). Use only low profile chains (maximum height off the tyre: 12 mm). IMPORTANT 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 space-saver spare wheel in its place.
STORING THE CAR The following precautions should be taken if the car will not be used for several months: – Park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ventilated premises. – Engage a gear. – Make sure the handbrake is not engaged. – Remove the cables from the battery terminals (first remove the cable to the negative terminal), and check the battery charge. If the car is to be stored for long periods the charge of the battery should be checked every month and recharged if it falls below 12.5V.
IN AN EMERGENCY EMERGENCY START-UP If the Fiat CODE cannot deactivate the engine immobilising system, the ¢ and U warning lights stay on and the engine will not start. 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). 1) Read the 5-figure electronic code given on the CODE card.
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. Proceed as follows: 1) connect positive terminals A and B-fig.
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.
Never fit a traditional tyre on a space-saver spare wheel rim. Have the replace wheel repair and refitted as soon as possible. Never use two or more spare wheels at the same time. Do not lubricate the bolt threads before fitting them back: they could come loose. The jack should only be used to change a wheel on the car for which it was designed. It should not be put to other uses or employed to raise other models of cars. Under no circumstances should it be used when carrying out repairs under the car.
Please note: – The jack requires no adjustments. – The jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be replaced with a new jack. – No tool, other than its handle, indicated in this chapter, can be fitted onto the jack. CHANGING THE WHEEL 6) Insert the handle in the jack and turn it until the wheel to be changed lifts a few centimetres off the ground. When turning the handle make sure it rotates freely without danger of grazing your hands on the ground.
9) Fit the space-saver spare wheel making peg A-fig. 7 coincide with one of the holes B on the wheel. 10) Screw the four fastening bolts. 11) Wind down the jack to lower the car and remove the jack. 12) Fully tighten the bolts moving in a criss-cross fashion following the order shown in fig. 8. REFITTING THE STANDARD WHEEL 5) Lower the car and remove the jack. 1) Following the above procedure, raise the car and remove the spacesaver wheel. 6) Torque the screws in the order described above fig. 8.
IMPORTANT For cars equipped with optional alloy wheels, a specific spare wheel is required which differs from that used on cars equipped with steel rims. When fitting alloy rims to replace steel rims at a later date, the four original wheel bolts should be changed with a new set of adequately sized bolts and a specific spare wheel. It is advised to keep the bolts and the spare wheel, which would become necessary if you should decide to return to the original type of wheels.

NANCE 3) Turn on the charger. 4) When you have finished, turn the charger off before disconnecting the battery. 5) Reconnect the cables to the battery terminals. Make sure the polarity is correct. Do not attempt to recharge a frozen battery. Thaw is first otherwise it could explode.
Please note: WITH A SHOP JACK – The jack requires no adjustments. WITH THE JACK See IF A chapter. TYRE IS PUNCTURED in this From the front – The jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be replaced with a new jack. Jack up the car only by positioning the jack arm at the gearbox/differential and placing a rubber pad in between, as shown in fig. 43. – Apart from the handle shown in this chapter no other tools should be installed on the jack. Never start the engine when the car is jacked up.
IF THE CAR NEEDS TO BE TOWED From the side A tow hitch is provided with the car. The car can be lifted from the side providing the hydraulic jack arm is fitted with a special bracket in the plate housing. To fasten the tow hitch: 1) Take the tow eye from the spare wheel in the boot. Before starting to tow, turn the ignition key to MAR and then to STOP. Do not remove the key. If the key is removed, the steering lock engages automatically which prevents the wheels being turned.

CAR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULED SERVICING Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition for a long time to come. This is why Fiat has programmed a number of service checks and operations every twenty thousand kilometres. It is however important to remember that SCHEDULED SERVICING is not all your vehicle requires.
SERVICE SCHEDULE These coupons are to be used every 20,000 km. 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 Check tyre conditions and wear and adjust pressure, if required ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Check lighting system operation (headlights, direction indicators, hazard lights, boot light, ceiling lights, glove compartment light, instrument panel warning lights, etc.
thousands of kilometres 20 40 60 ● Check anti-evaporation system ● Replace air cleaner cartridge Top up fluids (engine coolant, brakes, windscreen washer, battery, etc.
ANNUAL INSPECTION SCHEDULE The following annual inspection schedule is recommended for cars travelling less than 20,000 km a year (e.g. approximately 10,000 km). The schedule includes the following operations: – Check tyre condition and wear and adjust pressure, if required (including spare wheel). – Check operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators, hazard lights, boot light, passenger compartment ceiling light, glove compartment light, instrument panel lights, etc.).
IMPORTANT - Remote control IMPORTANT - Air cleaner 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. Replace the air cleaner more frequently if the car is used on dusty roads.
P4Q01038 CHECKING FLUID LEVELS Do not smoke while working in the engine compartment: the presence of flammable gas and vapour could cause a fire. Be very careful: scarves, ties and other loose articles of clothing could easily get caught up in moving parts. This can be extremely dangerous. fig. 1 1. Engine oil - 2. Battery - 3. Brake fluid - 4. Windscreen washer fluid - 5. Engine coolant.
Be very careful under the bonnet: you risk burning yourself. Remember that when the engine is hot, the fan can start up and cause injuries. Do not add oil with different specifications from the oil already in the engine. ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Max. engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every 1000 km. During the beginning of the car’s use, the engine is being run in. Engine oil consumption can be considered stabilised only after the first five-six thousand kilometres.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP and distilled water gives freeze protection to –35°C. The engine cooling system works with PARAFLU UP. Top up only with the same fluid contained in the cooling circuit. PARAFLU UP cannot be mixed with other fluids. Should this take place, do not start the engine and contact Fiat Dealership. To add liquid remove the cap Afig. 4.
At plug opening, pay maximum attention in order to prevent any impurities from entering the tank. For topping up, always use a funnel with integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm. IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture, for this reason, if the vehicle is mainly used in areas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified in the “Service schedule”.
BATTERY The Fiat 600 battery is of the “limited maintenance” type. Under normal conditions it will not need to be topped up with distilled water. REPLACING THE BATTERY If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part presenting the same specifications. If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the frequencies shown in the SCHEDULED SERVICING ill no longer be valid. Refer to the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
CHECKING THE CHARGE (where fitted) On certain versions the battery charge can be checked through the indicator A, and acting according to the colour the indicator shows. Refer to the table below or to the label B on the battery.
These devices will, in fact, run off the battery even when the key is not inserted (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) as shown in the following table: BATTERY DA MAXIMUM ADMITTED STAND-BY INTAKE 40A 24 mA Furthermore, remember that high intake electric devices (such as baby bottle warmers, vacuum cleaners, cellular phones, mini-fridges, etc.
WHEELS AND TYRES TYRE PRESSURE If the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can cause it serious damage. case, comply with the laws in the country where the car is being driven. IMPORTANT Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every two weeks and before long journeys. As far as possible avoid sharp braking and screech starts. The pressure must be checked when the tyre is rested and cold. Wrong pressure causes uneven wear of the tyres fig.
who can judge whether they are still fit for use. Remember to check the spare tyre particularly carefully too. If a replacement is necessary, always use new tyres and avoid using ones the origin of which you are not certain about. The Fiat 600 fits tubeless tyres. Under no circumstances use an inner tube with these tyres. If you replace a tyre it is a good idea to change the inflation valve, too.
– If the temperature falls to below zero, make sure the rubber blade is not frozen to the windscreen. If necessary, free it with a de-icing compound. Changing the rear window wiper blade 1) Lift the windscreen wiper arm Afig. 9 off the glass and position the blade so as to form a right angle with the arm. 1) Lift the cover A-fig. 10 and dismantle the arm from the vehicle by unscrewing the nut B-fig. 11 which holds it onto the knuckle.
BODYWORK The windscreen washer jets can be directed by adjusting the inclination of the nozzles. Direct the spray so that it reaches the highest point reached by the blades. 2) Position the new arm correctly and fasten the nut B. 3) Replace the cover A. PROTECTING THE CAR FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS NOZZLES fig. 12-13 The main causes of rust are: If there is no jet of liquid, first make sure that there is liquid in the reservoir: see CHECKING FLUID LEVELS in this chapter.
– the use of zinc-plated (or pretreated) sheet steel which is highly resistant to rust; – the spraying of the underbody, engine compartment, inside the wheelarches and other parts with waxbased products with a high protective capacity; 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. – spraying plastic-coating materials to protect the most exposed points: under the door, inside the wings, the edges etc.
Leave the car in the open so that the water can evaporate. To better protect the paintwork, polish with specific protective wax. Do not wash the car after it has been parked in the sun or while the bonnet is hot: it could take the shine off the paint. When the paintwork tends to lose its shine because of the build-up of smog, use polish wax which has a slightly abrasive as well as protective action. Outside plastic parts must be cleaned following the usual car washing procedure.
INTERIORS CLEANING SEATS AND FABRICS PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THE CAR From time to time check that water has not collected under the mats (from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.) which could cause the steel to rust. – Remove dust with a soft brush and vacuum cleaner. Use special products designed not to alter the appearance of the components. – Brush the seats with a damp sponge with water and a neutral soap. – Remove any grease stains with a specific product.
