Dear Customer,
Thank you for selecting 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 car and use it in the best possible way.
You should read it right through before taking to the road for the first time.
You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you get the most from the techno-
logical features of your Fiat.
Carefully read the warnings and indications, marked with the following symbols:
personal safety;
the car’s wellbeing;
environmental protection.
The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services that Fiat offers to its customers:
❒ the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity
❒ the range of additional services available to Fiat customers.
Enjoy the read. Happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all versions of the Fiat Punto;

please consider only the information relevant to your version, engine and configuration.
READ THIS CAREFULLY!

REFUELLING
Petrol engines: refuel only with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conforming to
K
the European specification EN 228.
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 war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused.
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 Y and m to
go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
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 car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to en-
sure better respect for the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
쇵
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit
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 it in a safe place, not in the car. You should have the electronic code from the CODE card with you at all
times.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety fea-
tures, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…

... important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your car over time.
Pay special attention to the symbols " (personal safety) # (protecting the environment) ! (risk of serious damage
to the vehicle).

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
Fiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly “eco-compatible”. To give customers the best possible service in terms
of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life,
Fiat is offering its customers the opportunity of handing over their vehicle* at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses as
a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, only vehicles regis-
tered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of charge, while since 2007 collection has been free of charge irrespective of the year
of registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional
waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Dealerships or Fiat-authorised collection and
scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling
of unused vehicles with respect to the environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat or Fiat Commercial Vehicle Dealer-
ship or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or by going on the Fiat website.
