MUST BE READ!

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95.

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-

nance. Pay particular attention to the symbols car’s wellbeing). Should the reconfigurable multifunction display show the message “See Handbook”, refer to section “Warning lights and messages” in this Handbook.

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.

At starting, if the code has not been recognised correctly, the warning light Ywill come on.

In this case, the key should be moved to the STOP position and then back to MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try again with the other key provided with the car. If it is still not possible to start the car, follow the instructions given in chapter “In an emergency” and then contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Every key has its own code, which must be memorised by the system control unit. To memorise new keys, up to a maximum of eight, apply to Fiat Dealership.

❒ If the warning light

coming on when driving

turns on, this means that

the system is running a self-test (for example for a voltage drop). At the first stop, turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR again: if no failure is detected warning light Ywill not come on.

❒ If the warning light

stays on, repeat the

procedure described previously leaving the key at STOP for over 30 seconds. Should the inconvenience persists, contact a Fiat Dealership.

❒ If the warning light

stays on this means that the

code has not been recognised. In this case, the key should be moved to the STOP position and then back to MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try again with the other key provided with the car. If it is still not possible to start the car, follow the instruction given in chapter “In an emergency” and then contact a Fiat Dealership.

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.

INDEX

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.

IMPORTANT If the needle reaches the (E) with warning light (A) flashing this means that there is a failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE

This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and begins working when the fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.

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 multifunction display) indicates that the coolant fluid temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.

“Smart washing” function

Pulling the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) operates the windscreen washer; indeed, the latter comes into action automatically if the stalk is pulled for more than half a second.

The wiper stops working three strokes after releasing the stalk. On certain versions a further “cleaning stroke”, after a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.

Operating the stalk quickly and repeatedly (for less than half a second) it is possible to wet the windscreen several times without operating the wiper.

TECHNICAL

SPECIFICATIONS

INDEX

Never use the window wiper to remove ice or snow from the windscreen. In these conditions, the wiper is submitted to excessive effort that results in motor protection cutting in and wiper operation inhibition for few seconds as a consequence. If operation is not restored contact Fiat Dealership.

RAIN SENSOR (where provided)

The rain sensor is behind the driving mirror in contact with the windscreen and has the purpose of automatically adjust, during the intermittent operation, the frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.

The sensor has a range of adjustment that gradually varies between wiper stationary (no wiping) when the windscreen is dry, to wiper at first continuous speed (continuous slow) with heavy rain.

Activation

Move the right-hand stalk downwards by one position.

The activation of the rain sensor is signalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.

IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the sensor area.

Turning the knurled ring (F) it is possible to increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor, obtaining a quicker change from stationary (no wiping) when the windscreen is dry, to first continuous speed (continuous, slow).

The increase of the sensitivity of the rain sensor is signalled by a control and acquisition “cycle”.

Operating the windscreen washer with the rain sensor activated the normal washing cycle is performed at the end of which the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic function.

It is a device able to support the driver, with electronic control, which allows driving at speed over 30 km/h on long and straight dry roads (e.g.: motorways), at a desired speed, without pressing the accelerator pedal. Therefore it is not suggested to use this device on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.

DEVICE ENGAGEMENT

F0I0156m

Turn knurled ring (A) to ON.

The device may only be engaged in the 4th or 5th or 6th gear. Travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car speed may increase more than the memorised one.

When the device is activated, the warning light

on the instrument cluster turns on together with the message on the reconfigurable multifunction display (where provided) (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

TO MEMORISE SPEED

Proceed as follows:

❒ turn the knurled ring (A) to ON and press the

accelerator pedal to the required speed;

❒ turn the knurled ring (B) to (+) for at least three

seconds, then release it. The car speed is memorised and it is therefore possible to release the accelerator pedal.

In the case of need (when overtaking for instance) acceleration is possible simply pressing the accelerator pedal; later, releasing the accelerator pedal, the car will return to the speed memorised previously.

TO RESET THE MEMORISED SPEED

If the device has been disengaged for example pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can be reset as follows:

❒ accelerate gradually until reaching a speed

approaching the one memorised;

❒ engage the gear selected at the time of speed

memorising (4th or 5th or 6th gear);

❒ press the RES button (C).

TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED SPEED

The speed memorised can be increased in two ways:

❒ pressing the accelerator and then memorising the

new speed reached;

❒ momentaneously turning the ring (B) to (+).

Each pulse of the ring will correspond to a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while pressing continuously will correspond to a continuous speed increase.
