SYMBOLSSpecial 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 SYSTEMThis is an electrical engine locking sys-
tem which increases protection against
an attempted theft of the car. It is auto-
matically activated when the ignition key
is extracted.Each key contains an electronic device
which modulates the signal emitted dur-
ing ignition by an antenna built into the
ignition device. This signal is the ‘pass-
word’ which changes at each ignition and
which the control unit uses to recognise
the key and enable ignition.

IMPORTANT
Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the car is
switched off and the key is in the OFF
position. Follow the instructions on
the plate near the front crossmember
fig. 105. It is advisable to extract the
key when there are other people in
the car. The car should always be
evacuated after the key has been re-
moved or turned to the OFF position.
During refuelling operations, it is nec-
essary to make sure that the car is off
with the ignition key in the OFF po-
sition.
WARNING
For cars with a robotised
transmission, if the engine
cuts out automatically on a gradient,
it is advisable to restart the engine by
moving the gear lever towards (+) or
(-) without releasing the brake pedal.
For vehicles with Dualogic transmis-
sion, where the Hill Holder function
is present, if the engine cuts out au-
tomatically whilst on a hill, it is ad-
visable to restart it by moving the
gear lever towards (+) or towards (-)
without releasing the brake pedal to
make the Hill Holder function –
which is active only when the engine
is running – available.
WARNING
If you want to prioritise cli-
mate comfort, the Start&Stop
system can be disabled to allow con-
tinuous operation of the climate con-
trol system.
