Bestregards and good motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Punto versions. As a consequence, you should consider only the
information which is related to the engine and bodywork version of the car you purchased.
MUST BE READ!
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95.
K
ENGINE STARTING
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. Using oth-
er products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the warranty
cover for caused damages as a consequence.
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: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
A system for continuously monitoring emission system components to ensure greater environmental
protection is fitted in your car.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, 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 car’s electric
system can support the required load.
CODE card
Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. 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.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
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.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
…information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its mainte-

SYMBOLS
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.
The plate summarising the symbols used can be found under the bonnet.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect you car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine
immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip. The device
transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a
special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulate signal, which
changes each time the engine is started, is the password by means of
which the control unit recognises the key and enables to start the engine.
OPERATION
Each time the car 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 the STOP position, the Fiat CODE
system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic control unit.

❒ AVV: engine starting.
❒ PARK: engine off, parking lights on, steering column locked. To turn

The ignition switch is fitted with a safety mechanism that, in the event the
engine is not started, turns back the ignition key to STOP before epeating
the starting operation.
If the ignition device is tampered with (e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked over
by a Fiat Dealership.
When getting out of the car, always remove the key to prevent any occupants
from accidentally activating the controls. Remember to engage the
handbrake. If the car is parked on uphill slope to engage the first gear. If the
car is facing downhill, engage the reverse gear. Never leave unsupervised

Instrument background and type can change according to versions.
SPEEDOMETER (SPEED INDICATOR)
It indicates the car speed.
REV. COUNTER
The rev. counter shows engine rpm. The needle pointed to the danger
area (red on certain versions) indicates excessive high engine speed. Do
not drive for long periods with the needle in this area.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system gradually shuts off
the flow of fuel when the engine is “over-revving” resulting in a gradual
loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a gradual or
sudden highering of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during normal operation, for example
when activating the climate control system or the fan. In particular a slow
change in the speed preserves the battery charge.

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
The needle indicates the amount of fuel left in the tank.The reserve
warning light (A) turns on (on certain versions together with the message
shown on the reconfigurable multifunction display) to indicate that 5 to 7
litres of fuel are left in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see contents of “At the filling station” paragraph in this
chapter).
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyst.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and begins working when the fluid temperature exceeds

Under normal conditions, the needle should hover around the middle of the scale according to the working
conditions.
C - low engine coolant temperature.
H - excessive engine coolant temperature.
The turning on of the warning light (B) (on certain versions together with the message shown on the reconfigurable
