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.

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.

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.

TRIP COMPUTER

Introduction

The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
allows you to define two separate trips, called “Trip A”
and “Trip B”, for monitoring the car’s “complete mission”
(journey) in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset – start of a new jour­ney).

“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Journey time (driving time).

“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used to
display the figures relating to:

– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).

NB “Trip B” functions may be excluded (see “Trip B on”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be
reset.

Values displayed

Outside temperature

Indicates the temperature outside the vehicle passenger
compartment.

Range

This indicates the approximate distance that may be trav­elled with the fuel remaining in the tank, assuming that dri­ving conditions do not change. The display will show the
reading “----” when the following events take place:

– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for a long time.

Distance travelled

This value shows the distance covered from the start of
the new journey.

Average consumption

This value shows the approximate average fuel consump­tion from the start of the new journey.

Current consumption

Indicates the fuel consumption. The value is constantly up­dated. The message “----” will appear on the display if the
car is parked with the engine running.

Average speed

This value shows the car’s average speed based on the
overall time elapsed since the start of the new journey.

It is advisable to switch the internal air internal recircula­tion on while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent
the introduction of polluted air. Do not use the function
for a long time, particularly if there are many passengers
on board, to prevent the windows from misting up.

IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it pos­sible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster.

Do not use the air internal recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos­sibility of the windows misting up.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Run the climate control system for at least 10 minutes
every month during the winter. Have the system inspect­ed at a Fiat Dealership before the summer.

The system uses R134a refrigerant fluid
which does not harm the environment in

the event of accidental leakage. Never use
R12 fluid which is not compatible with the system
components.

SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM

The system can be activated by pressing any of the but­tons; it is, however, advisable to set the desired temper­atures on the display, then press the AUTO button.

The climate control system allows you to customise the
temperatures (driver side and passenger side) with a max­imum difference of 7°C.

The climate control system compressor works only with
the engine running and with an outside temperature of
above 4°C.

AUTOMATIC FUNCTION OF THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM (AUTO function)

Press the AUTO button; the system will automatically ad­just:

❒the amount of air introduced into the passenger com­partment;

❒ the distribution of air inside the passenger compartment;
cancelling any previous manual settings.
During climate control system automatic operation, the

words FULL AUTO appear on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to adjust the

set temperature and carry out the following operations
manually:

❒ adjust fan speed;
❒ select air distribution;
❒ switch air recirculation on/off;
❒ switch on the climate control system compressor.

WARNING

It is advisable not to use the air recircula-

tion function when the outside tempera­ture is low to prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.

REGULATING THE FAN SPEED

Press button pto increase/decrease the fan speed.

The 12 possible speeds are indicated by bars lighting up on
the display:

If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accel-

erate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal; when you

come off the pedal, the car will return to the speed mem-

orised previously.

RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED

If the device has been switched off, for example by press-

ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can

be restored as follows:

❒ accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching

the memorised speed;

❒ engage the gear that was selected when you memorised

INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED

This can be done in two ways:
❒ by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the

new speed reached;

or
❒ moving the stalk upwards (+).

Each movement of the stalk will correspond to an increase
in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held up­wards will continuously increase the speed.

REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED

This can be done in two ways:
❒ by turning the device off and then storing a new speed;

or
❒ by moving the stalk downwards (–) until reaching the

new speed which will be memorised automatically.

Each movement of the stalk will correspond to a reduc­tion in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held
downwards will continuously reduce the speed.

DISENGAGING THE DEVICE

The device can be switched off by the driver in the fol­lowing ways:

❒ turning twist switch A to OFF;
❒ switching off the engine;
❒ pressing the brake pedal;

❒ pressing the clutch pedal;
❒ pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case, the system

is not really switched off but the request for accelera­tion takes priority. The cruise control is, however, ac­tive and you do not need to press button RES B-fig. 52
to restore the previous conditions when you have fin­ished accelerating.

The device is automatically switched off in the following
cases:

❒ if the ABS or ESP systems cut in;
❒ if the car speed drops below the preset limit;
❒ if there is a system failure.

WARNING

While travelling with the device engaged,
do not put the gear lever into neutral.

IMPORTANT With central locking on, pulling the internal
handle of one of the front doors will unlock that door.
Individual doors can be unlocked by pulling the internal
handle of one of the rear doors.

If a power supply is not present (blown fuse, battery dis­connected, etc.) it is, however, possible to lock the doors
manually.

After exceeding 20 km/h, all the doors will be locked au­tomatically if the setup menu function has been selected
(see “Multifunction display” paragraph in this section).

DEAD LOCK

(for versions/markets where provided)

This safety device inhibits the operation of:

❒ interior handles;
❒ locking/unlocking button A-fig. 87;

thereby preventing the opening of the doors from inside
the passenger compartment if there has been a break-in
attempt (e.g. a window has been broken).

The dead lock device therefore offers the best possible
protection against break-in attempts. We recommend en­gaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left unat­tended.

WARNING

Once the dead lock system is engaged, it

is impossible to open the doors from inside
the vehicle. Before getting out of the car, please
therefore check that there is no-one left inside.
If the remote control battery is flat, the system
can be disengaged only by inserting the key in ei­ther of the door locks as described previously: in
this case the device remains active only for the
rear doors.

Device activation

The dead lock device is automatically activated on every
door when you double-tap button Á on the remote con­trol fig. 85.

Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the direction
indicators and the flashing of the LED on button A-fig. 87
on the dashboard.

If one or more of the doors is not closed correctly, the
dead lock device will not activate, thus preventing a per­son from getting stuck inside the passenger compartment
by entering the car through, and then closing, the open
door.

CONTENTS

82

Device deactivation

The system is disabled automatically on every door in the
following cases:

❒ when opening the driver’s door using the mechanical key;
❒ when unlocking doors using the remote control;
❒ when turning the ignition key to the MAR position.

CHILD LOCK
(5-door versions) fig. 88

This system prevents the rear doors from being opened
from the inside.

This device can be engaged only with the doors open.

❒ position 1 – engaged (door locked);
❒ position 2 – disengaged (door can be opened from

inside).

The device A-fig. 88 stays on even if the doors are un­locked by the centralised system.

Repositioning the rear seat fig. 104

Raise the backrests and push them back until hearing the
locking click of both retainers.
Position the seat belt buckles upwards and set the cush­ion to the position of normal use.

IMPORTANT The backrest is correctly secured when the
red band next to the handles disappears. This red band in­dicates that the backrest is not secured. When returning
the backrest to its normal position, make sure it is cor­rectly fastened and you hear the lock click.

Make sure the backrest is properly secured at both sides
to prevent it moving forward in the event of sharp brak­ing that may cause injuries to passengers.

HEADLIGHTS

LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION

The correct direction of the headlights is essential for the
comfort and safety of the driver and other road users. The
headlights must be correctly directed to ensure the best
visibility. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.

HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR

This device works with the key in the MAR position and
the dipped headlights on. The car will tilt backwards when
it is loaded, raising the light beam. The beams must there­fore be aimed again in this case.

Headlight alignment adjustment fig. 113

To adjust, press buttons Ò and  on the control panel.

The display located on the instrument panel provides the
visual indication of the positions during the adjustment op­eration.

Position 0 – one or two people in the front seats.

Position 1 – five people.

Position 2 – five people + load in the boot.

Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load stowed in
the boot.

IMPORTANT Check the beam alignment every time the
load transported changes.

HEADLIGHT BEAM ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
fig. 114-115

The dipped headlights are adjusted to work in the coun­try where the vehicle was originally purchased. In coun­tries where vehicles are driven on the other side of the
road, the beams are aligned by applying a specially designed
adhesive film in order not to dazzle the vehicles travel­ling in the opposite direction.

Such film is provided by Lineaccessori Fiat and is available
at Fiat Dealerships.

The illustrations refer to the changeover from driving on
the left to driving on the right.
