If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.
WARNING
When getting out of the car, always remove
the key to prevent someone from acciden-
tally 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. Nev-
er leave children unattended in the car.
WARNING
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 func-
tion.
❒AVV: engine starting (temporary position).
The ignition device is fitted with an electronic safety sys-
tem that, in the event the engine fails to start, forces you
to turn the ignition key back to STOP before repeating the
starting operation.
001-036 PUNTO FL EN 4ed 18-01-2010 12:21 Pagina 11

Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel would lock au-
tomatically as soon as it is turned. This is always
the case, even when the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-sales operation involving steering sys-
tem or steering column modifications (e.g. in-
stalling an anti-theft device) that could badly af-
fect performance and safety, invalidate the war-
ranty and also result in the car failing to comply
with regulations.
WARNINGSTEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition
key to MAR.

INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background colour and type may vary ac-
cording to the version.
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 over-
revving, 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 becaused, for example, by the operation of the climate con-
trol 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.

dicate that the coolant fluid temperature is too high; in this
case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership. ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 17

starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds ap-
prox. 50°C.
Under normal usage, the needle should hover around the
middle of the scale according to the working conditions.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
If the needle reaches the red area, stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
