Page 2 Dear Customer, Thank you for selecting Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat Punto. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your car and use it in the best possible way.
Page 3 READ THIS CAREFULLY! REFUELLING Petrol engines: refuel only with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conforming to the European specification EN 228. Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the war- ranty, depending on the damage caused.
Page 4 If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electrical system can support the required load.
