FIAT PUNTO NATURAL POWER
Do not switch between the
two operating modes whilst
starting the engine
WARNING
In addition, in the case of starting at out-
side temperatures of below around -10°C,
the switching times from Petrol to
Methane increase to allow the pressure
regulator/reduction unit to become warm
enough.
IMPORTANT If the switching takes place
during acceleration or pick-up, there may
be a brief flat spot (fall in power).With the reconfigurable multifunction dis-
play, any system failure is signalled by the
dedicated message and, at the same time,
by the
Rsymbol coming on and the four
methane levels going out. In this case, go
to a Fiat Dealership as quickly as possi-
ble.
STARTING
THE ENGINE
To carry out the starting manoeuvre, see
the warnings and advice in the Owner
Handbook under the chapter “Starting the
engine”.
PROTECTIVE FUSES
The table below contains a list of the pro-
tective fuses with reference to the
petrol/methane version. For all the other
fuses, consult the Owner Handbook that
this supplement comes with.
If the methane has run out, the control
unit automatically manages the switch to
running on petrol.

10 SYSTEM FAILURE SIGNALLING
With the multifunction display, any system
failure is signalled through a dedicated
messages and, at the same time, by the
CNG logo and the four methane levels
flashing (with solid bars). In this case, go
to a Fiat Dealership as quickly as possi-
ble.

CAPACITIES

Methane
– Methane (*). . . . . . . . . kg (approx) 13
(*) The amount of methane depends on
the outside temperature, the supply pres-
sure, the quality of the gas and the type
of refuelling system. The total volume of
the canisters is about 84 litres.
IMPORTANT It should be remembered
that when using a fuel such as methane the
range is very variable because as well as
the driving conditions and car maintenance
it also depends on the temperature of the
gas in the canister.
The methane actually heats up during the
refuelling and cools down whilst driving,
undergoing variations in pressure that re-
duce the quantity that can be used.
It should also be pointed out that whilst
the vehicle is being run in (up to around
3000 km) the fuel consumption may be
higher than the figures given.
ENGINE OIL
The engine oil used is SELENIA K P.E.
