BRIEFING
FIAT PUNTO TRAINING OUTLINE
Fiat Auto S.p.A.
After Sales Training
Nuova Punto features a standard occupant protection system made of up of the items below:
front safety restraint system including driver’s and passenger’s front airbags of the dual-stage
type;
front safety belts with pre-tensioner and load limiter;
“my car” electronic system for passenger’s side front and side airbag disable.
Moreover, the following optional items are available:
side-bag on the front seats, to ensure higher protection of the thorax and pelvis;
window-bags located in the rails below the roof, to better protect the occupants’ heads against
dangerous penetrating objects and parts.
When designing Nuova Punto, Fiat has paid great attention to the safety of the children on the
vehicle and the pedestrians as well.
Children safety is ensured by devices that make it possible to achieve the maximum protection
that can be obtained at present, i.e. isofix mounts on the rear seats and passenger’s airbag
disable through the vehicle’s trip computer.
Pedestrian safety has also been enhanced, though it has somehow affected the vehicle’s style
solutions adopted, to meet the newer law requirements that establish specific conditions to
protect the pedestrians in case of accidents.

Finally, passive safety is further enhanced by features such as the controlled-deformation
body, the collapsible steering column and steering pedals, and the anti-whiplash seats
(option).
