Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing 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 vehicle and use it in the best possible way.

Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best performance

from the technical features of your Fiat Punto.

You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all

with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road

surfaces.

This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and

maintenance of your Fiat Punto over time.

After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on

board the vehicle should it be sold.

In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty

Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.

We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at

Fiat.

Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

IMPORTANT

This Owner Handbook describes all versions of the Fiat Punto, it is therefore necessary to please consider only the

information relevant to the trim level, engine and version of your car. All data contained in this publication are purely

indicative. FCA Italy S.p.A. can modify the specifications of the vehicle model described in this publication at any time, for

technical or marketing purposes. For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership.

VERY IMPORTANT

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European Standard

EN228. The use of petrol that does not conform to the specification indicated above may cause the EOBD warning light to switch on and the

irregular operation of the engine.

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.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Make sure that the handbrake is engaged and place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator,

then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning light to switch off (and warning light for diesel versions); turn the ignition

key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

Versions with Dualogic gearbox: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), fully

depress the brake pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

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.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components related to emissions to ensure increased respect for

the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.

They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle electric system can support the required load.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct servicing of the vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness

and low running costs unchanged in time.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as

regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.

The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do

not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles

with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position

or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.

Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key

for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the

current chapter at the side of each even page.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your

vehicle.

There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle,

which could cause accidents or injuries.

Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.

WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

personal safety;

vehicle safety;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.

That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

SYMBOLS

Some vehicle components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this

component.

A plate summarising these symbols can also be found under the bonnet.

VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS

IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents,

in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.
