Signalling warning light.
Class A errors: any error that represents a risk of incorrect minimum actuation of the airbag
squibs. With this type of error, the warning light will remain ON, even when the error is
intermittent and has been solved, until the ECU is reset.
Class B errors: any error that does not represent a risk of incorrect actuation of the airbag
squibs. With this type of error, the warning light will remain ON for 30 seconds and then will go
out.
9.8 Fire protection
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.
For this reason, the whole of Fiat Punto, from the body to every single component, has been
designed so as to comply with the strictest, latest FIAT in-house fire prevention regulations.
Fire Prevention System (FPS).
All the petrol and diesel engine versions feature the FPS (Fire Prevention System) inertia
switch, which causes the engine to be switched off immediately a few milliseconds after a
collision.
The plastic tank, conforming to the forthcoming directives, is located in an area protected in
case of collision. It can withstand distortion (if any) with no risk of fuel escape; moreover, it
poses no explosion hazard if the vehicle is set on fire, due to its being made of plastic.
