fuel filter FIAT PUNTO EVO 2009 1.G Owners Manual

Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiving
devices provided that they are installed by a specialised
centre according to rules of good engineering practice in
compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on the
road if devices have been installed which modify the features
of the car. This may also cause invalidation of warranty in
relation to faults caused by the change or either directly
or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by
the installation of accessories either not supplied or rec-
ommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not installed in com-
pliance with the provided instructions.
RADIOTRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB
radios, amateur radio etc.) shall not be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the pas-
senger compartment (without a separate aerial) may cause
the vehicle electrical systems to malfunction. This could
compromise safety in addition to constituting a potential
hazard for passengers’ health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the car body.
As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is con-
cerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), follow the instructions for
use provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.

REFUELLING THE CAR
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the fuel tank opening is
too small to insert the nozzle of a leaded petrol pump. The
petrol octane rating (RON) must not be lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads to
harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pol-
lution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thick-
ens due to the formation of paraffin clots and could clog
the diesel filter. In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type (cold, moun-
tainous areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the usage temperature, it is advisable to mix
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions shown
on the container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the fuel.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine emissions are the
following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒fuel evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected. The following de-
vices are used for reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets
where provided). Filling the tank
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the first click
of the trigger. Further top ups could cause faults in the
fuel supply system.

– sidelights/taillights
– brake lights
– rear fog lights
– direction indicators
– number plate lights
- daytime running lights.
A specific message is displayed on some versions.

The presence of water in the fuel supply
circuit may cause severe damage to the in-
jection system and irregular engine oper-
ation. If warning light
ccomes on (with a message
on the display on some versions), go to a Fiat Deal-
ership as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
FIAT CODE VEHICLE PROTECTION
SYSTEM FAULT
(amber)
(for versions/markets where provided)
The warning light may come on (and a message on
the multifunction display may appear on certain versions)
to indicate that there is a fault in the Fiat Code system
or, if applicable, the alarm system; in this case, contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.Y

HEAVY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE
Should the car be used predominantly in one of the fol-
lowing particularly demanding conditions:
❒ trailer or caravan towing;
❒ dusty roads;
❒short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys in sub-
zero temperatures;
❒frequently idling engine or long-distance, low-speed dri-
ving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries), or in the event of
long-term inactivity;
❒ in cities;
perform the following inspections more frequently than
shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check condition and wear of front disc brake pads;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks, as well as
cleanliness and lubrication of linkages;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox, trans-
mission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes), rub-
ber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒ visually inspect condition of accessory drive belts;
❒ check pollen filter and replace it, if required;
❒ check air filter and replace, if required.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if nec-
essary, top up:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressures and conditions;
❒operation of lighting system (headlights, direction indi-
cators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system, po-
sition and wear of the windscreen and rear window
wiper blades;
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level every
3,000 km.
You are recommended to use PETRONAS LUBRICANTS
products, which have been designed and produced specif-
ically for Fiat cars (see table “Capacities” in the “Techni-
cal specifications” section).
