Page 2 Thank you for selecting Abarth and congratulations on your choice of a Grande Punto Abarth. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all your new Grande Punto Abarth features and use it in the best possible way.
Page 3 MUST BE READ! REFUELLING Only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the European specifica- tion EN 228. ENGINE STARTING Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Page 4 ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a Abarth Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can sup- port the required load.
