2010 FIAT PUNTO EVO fuel type

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.

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.When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using lo-
cally available diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine be-
yond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused. If you ac-
cidentally introduce other types of fuel into the
tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has run, even for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel system emptied in ad-
dition to the tank.
FUEL TANK CAP fig. 128
To carry out refuelling, open lid A and unscrew cap B;
the cap is fitted with a device C which fastens it to the lid
so it cannot be mislaid.
In some versions, cap B have a lock and key: open lid A,
insert the ignition key then turn it anti-clockwise and un-
screw the cap itself.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure
in the tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is
therefore entirely normal.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the device inside the
flap as shown in fig. 128.

Change engine oil and oil filter (diesel EURO 4 versions with DPF) (Õ) (3)
Change brake fluid (or every 24 months)
Replace pollen filter (or every 15 months)
(*) Regardless of the distance covered, the timing belt should be replaced every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold climates, city dri-
ving, idling for a long time, dusty areas) or, in any case, every 5 years.
(❏) For Euro 4 diesel versions, the air filter cartridge should be replaced every 30,000 km.
(Õ) The engine oil and the filter must be replaced when the warning light on the dashboard comes on (see the “Warning lights and messages”
section) or at least every 24 months.
(1)For 1.4 Turbo Multi Air versions, in order to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to
the engine, it is essential to observe the following:
– only use spark plugs specifically certified for 1.4 Turbo Multi Air engines; all spark plugs should be of the
same type and brand (see the “Engine” paragraph);
– adhere strictly to the spark plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Servicing Plan;
– it is advisable to have this performed at a Fiat Dealership.
(2)If the car is mainly used in towns and cities, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.
(3)If the car is mainly used in cities or travels less than 10,000 km a year, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are
determined on the basis of the homologation tests set
down by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring con-
sumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that sim-
ulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the ve-
hicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all gears;
the speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: this is calculated with a weight-
ing of about 37% urban cycle consumption and about
63% extra-urban consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weath-
er conditions, driving style, general state of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system,
roof rack, and other situations that affect how the car
moves through the air may lead to different fuel con-
sumption levels than those measured.
Fuel consumption according to the current European directive (litres x 100 km)
