Fiat Punto technological features.
You are recommended to read carefully the warnings and indications, marked with the respective symbols, at the end of the page:
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

and bodywork version of the car you purchased.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a Fiat
Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can sup-
port the required load.
CODE card
Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. You should always keep the electronic card code written on the
CODE card with you.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
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 MANUAL CONTAINS…
… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its maintenance. Pay
particular attention to the symbols
"(personal safety) #(environmental protection) !(the car’s wellbeing).

Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your Fiat Punto. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precau-
tions to be taken as regards that particu-
lar component.
The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 2.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect you car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilis-
ing system. This system is automatically ac-
tivated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in
each ignition key grip. The device trans-
mits a radio-frequency signal when the en-
gine is started through a special aerial built
into the ignition switch. The modulate sig-
nal, which changes each time the engine is
started, is the “password”, by means of
which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-
tem control unit sends a recognition code
to the engine control unit to deactivate
the inhibitor.
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 electronic con-
trol unit.If the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the warning light
Yturns on (see
section “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the key should be moved to
the STOPposition and then back to
MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try
again with the other key provided with the
car. If it is still not possible to start the car,
contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Every key has its own code,
which must be memorised by the system
control unit. To memorise new keys, up
to a maximum of eight, apply to Fiat Deal-
ership.
Warning light
Ycoming on when driving
❒If the warning light Yturns on, this
means that the system is running a self-
test (for example for a voltage drop).
❒If the warning light Ystays on, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.

The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted to
sharp knocks.
