REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel the car with unleaded petrol

with an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conform-

K

ing to the European specification EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the above-men­tioned specification may cause the EOBD warning light to
switch on and the irregular operation of the engine.

Diesel engines: only refuel the car using diesel fuel that
conforms to European specification EN590.

STARTING THE ENGINE

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
off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as
the engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter reaches high temperatures during
operation. Do not park the on grass, dry leaves, pine nee-



dles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

Y

and mto go

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The car is fitted with a system that carries out a continu­ous diagnosis of the emission-related components in or­der to help protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical acces­sories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), vis-

쇵

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

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’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…

... information, tips and important warnings on the correct
use and maintenance of your car over time as
well as safe driving tips. Pay special attention to the sym­bols "(personal safety) #(environmental protection)

SYMBOLS

YOUR

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.

SAFETY

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

IN AN

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

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.

OPERATION

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

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 is not recognised correctly during ignition, the

warning light comes on in the instrument panel.

Y

CONTENTS

In this case turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if the
lock persists try again with the spare set of keys. Contact
a Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

CODE CARD fig. 3

ership when ordering duplicate keys.

You should have the electronic code A-fig. 3 with you at
all times.

IMPORTANT In order to ensure complete efficiency of
the electronic devices inside the keys, they should never
be exposed to direct sunlight.

IMPORTANT Window opening operation is a consequence of a door unlocking control; window closing operation is
a consequence of a door locking control.

IGNITION

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, forces you
to turn the ignition key back 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.

WARNING

When getting out of the car, always remove

the key to prevent someone from acciden­tally activating 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.

SPEEDOMETER fig. 14

This shows the speed of the vehicle.

REV COUNTER fig. 15

The rev counter shows the number of engine revolutions
per minute.

IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system
gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is over­revving, resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.

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.

FUEL GAUGE fig. 16

This shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.

E tank empty.

F tank full.

The reserve warning light A comes on to indicate that
approximately 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.

Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalyst.

See the description in the “Refuelling” paragraph.

IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning light
A will blink to indicate a fault in the system. If this is the
case, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
