tery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the over-
all electrical requirement and check that the car’s elec-
trical system can support the required load.

the electronic code from the CODE card with you at
all times.

stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features,

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system 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 during ignition by an antenna built into
the ignition device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each ignition and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and enable ignition.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key
to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recog-
nition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the
immobiliser.
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 con-
trol unit.
If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition, the
Ywarning light comes on in the instrument panel.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or actu-
ally on some of the components of your Fiat Punto. These
labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions
to be taken as regards that particular component.
A plate summarising the symbols used can be found under
the bonnet fig. 2.

THE KEYS
CODE CARD fig. 3
(available on request for versions/markets where pro-
vided)
The car is delivered with two copies of the ignition key
and with the CODE card, which bears the following:
A the electronic code;
B the mechanical key code to be given to the Fiat Deal-
ership when ordering duplicate keys.
You should have the electronic code A-fig. 3 with you at
all times.
IMPORTANT In order to ensure complete efficiency of
the electronic devices inside the keys, they should never
be exposed to direct sunlight. In this case turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if the
lock persists try again with the spare set of keys. Contact
a Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.
Warning light
Ycomes 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, contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is subjected to
sharp knocks.

Fiat Punto User Manual English Pdf
Keep track of changing roads Each day, about 2.7 million changes are made to the road network worldwide, so there is a good chance that a part of your journey will be affected. New roads are built, traffic rules are changed and new restrictions are set continuously, and there are plenty of other changes that may affect your planned route. Hence we recommend that you update your maps as frequently as possible, but at least once a year.
Reduce your fuel spendings Using up-to-date maps, you may reduce the average fuel consumption of your vehicle by up to 12 per cent. The scale of savings is especially spectacular on longer journeys. Compare the savings you can make on fuel during a whole year to the price of our maps, and join the community of several million users who update their maps regularly.
Drive more safely If the maps are outdated, your navigation system may frequently provide you with improper instructions. It is possible that the speed limit has been changed on some of the roads, some sections have been declared dangerous, or that the direction of traffic has been reversed in a one-way street. You should always follow the road signs, but the instructions given by the navigation system can be of great help in safe driving.
Avoid road stress Anyone can encounter disturbing mistakes in route planning that are often thought to be the fault of the navigation system. In fact, the most common reason for errors in route calculation is that the maps are outdated, so these mistakes can be avoided simply by updating them.
Have an up-to-date list of POIs It is not only the road network that changes, but the database of available places of interest as well. It includes a list of gas stations, ATMs, pharmacies, restaurants, accommodation and many other places that you may need while you are traveling. With an up-to-date POI database, you can find the places that are important to you and the best route to get there.
