OWNER HANDBOOK

Dear Customer,
Thank you for selecting Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat Punto.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your car 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 your car to help you get the most from the techno-

logical features of your Fiat.
Carefully read the warnings and indications, marked with the following symbols:

personal safety;

the car’s wellbeing;

environmental protection.

The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services that Fiat offers to its customers:

❒

the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity

❒

the range of additional services available to Fiat customers.

Enjoy the read. Happy motoring!

This Owner Handbook describes all versions of the Fiat Punto;

please consider only the information relevant to your version, engine and configuration.

READ THIS CAREFULLY!

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: refuel only with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conforming to

the European specification EN228.

K

STARTING THE ENGINE

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.

The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the war­ranty, depending on the damage caused.

Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged, set the gearshift lever to neutral, fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

Diesel engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged, set the gearshift lever to neutral, fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights
go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.



Y

and mto

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to en­sure better respect for the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit
a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electrical system can
support the required load.

CODE card

Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. You should have the electronic code from the CODE card with you at all
times.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety fea­tures, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

쇵

THE OWNER’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…

... important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your car over time.

Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo­nents of your Fiat Punto. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precau­tions to be taken as regards that particu­lar component.

F0M0005m

The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 2.

This is an electrical engine locking sys­tem which increases protection against
an attempted theft of the car. It is auto­matically activated when the ignition key
is extracted.

Each key contains an electronic device
which modulates the signal emitted dur­ing ignition by an antenna built into the
ignition device. This signal is the ‘pass­word’ which changes at each ignition and
which the control unit uses to recognise
the key and enable ignition.

INDEX

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started turning the
ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys­tem control unit sends a recognition code
to the engine control unit to deactivate
the inhibitor.

The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates
the functions of the engine control unit.

If the code has not been recognised cor­rectly, the warning light

turns on ac-

Y

companied by the related message on the
display.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and
then back to MAR; try with the other
keys provided if the problem persists.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still can­not start the engine.

If the warning light Yturns on, this

The key can be turned to 3 different po­sitions fig. 9:

❒

STOP: engine off, key can be extract­ed, steering locked. Some electrical de­vices (e.g. sound system, central door
locking system, etc.) can function.

❒

MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices can function.

❒

AVV: engine starting (temporary posi­tion).

The ignition device is fitted with an elec­tronic safety system that, in the event the
engine fails to start, turns back the ignition
key to STOP before repeating the start­ing operation.

WARNING

If the ignition device has

been tampered with (e.g. an
attempted theft), have it checked
over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.

fig. 9

F0M0015m

WARNING

Always remove the key when

you leave your car to pre­vent someone from accidentally op­erating the controls. Remember to
engage the handbrake. Engage first
gear if the car is parked uphill or re­verse if the car is parked downhill.
Never leave children unattended in
the car.

Engagement

When the key is in position STOP, re­move it and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.

Disengagement

Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the key to MAR.

WARNING

Never extract the key while

the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel would lock automati­cally as soon as it is turned. This also
applies to when the car is towed.

WARNING

It is absolutely forbidden to

carry out any after-market
operation involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g. in­stallation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and
also result in the car not complying
with regulations.

IMPORTANT The electronic injection

When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden increase
of the rate.

This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
It may be caused, for example, by the op­eration of the climate control system or
fan. In these cases, a slow change in revs
is used to protect the battery charge.
