When designing Nuova Punto, Fiat has paid great attention to the safety of the children on the vehicle and the pedestrians as well.
The accessory designing activity has been supported by the FIAT Style Centre and has been guided by the search for exclusive products consistent with the vehicle identity, integrated into the vehicle’s essential lines and of high practical value.

CCM cannot, after the operation has been carried out, be brought back to the virgin state when classification has to be performed. Classification shall ALWAYS be carried out at the FIAT production plant and at the Service Centre every time the CCM control unit/injector needs be replaced.
4%. The power and, above all, the low-speed torque of this engine enhance the elasticity features of Fiat Punto, ensuring smooth driving and quick pick-up without having to shift down, with very good consumption levels. The introduction of the continuous phase variator and a new concept of variable-turbulence combustion chamber have made it possible to significantly reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emission, especially when driving in the city traffic and out of town.
The introduction of the Fiat CODE protection system does not make it possible to exchange control units among different Fiat Punto vehicles of the same engine version.
9.1 General description of the system The technology used for the electric system of the Nuova Punto is based on the complex architecture called “Famiglia1”, first used on a FIAT model. Modular system To obtain the minimum number of wiring families, each circuit connected to a sectioning joint holds the same position inside the joint, regardless of the trim level;...

The most complete structure is made up of two CAN communication lines that connect nodes belonging to two different areas (dynamic vehicle control and bodywork function/on-board information) and also an additional “LIN bus” serial line (first used on a FIAT model of this segment).
LIN serial line and the CAN networks. The node diagnosis, in the B-CAN and C-CAN, is performed, for the first time on a FIAT model, through the CAN line by using a protocol on the CAN network (ISO 14229).
After Sales Training 9.1.4 Diagnosis instrument adapter The diagnosis of Fiat Punto, which makes use of a serial network of the CAN HIGH SPEED type, can be performed by means of the new A16HS high-speed cable. Moreover, release 6.30 (or any other subsequent release) shall be installed on the Examiner in order to access all the functions.
Features The design of the 199 instruments has been realized by establishing a “family feeling” with the other FIAT vehicles of its generation, such as Stilo, Punto Face Lifting and Panda, all of which feature orange background illumination. The instrument board node (IPC) is an electronic component connected to the B-CAN network and the dashboard cable harness: it acquires some user controls and manages the vehicle menu and the headlamp trim control.
IPC instrument board node are provided on the PAM parking sensor node. The parking assist system of FIAT Nuova Punto is made up of the following components: - ultrasound sensors on the rear bumper;...

In the late 1990s, the introduction of the new European regulations on the crash tests and also of the injection fuel feed system has made FIAT AUTO aware of the need to define from the start the bodywork construction design principles and the layout of the various systems fitted to motorcars.
