hey, got a brand new evo gp at the weekend, i love it.

few questions:

1) on top of the dash, whats the big button for? the one that presses down quite a bit?

2) can u disable the start&stop? if so, wheres the button?

3) theres a cubby hole beside my right knee, but it wont close properly. anyone have the same problem?

4) can u not get what ur listening to (radio station, track number) to display in the middle of the speed dials?? had this in my grande punto

5) does everyone keep their driving lights on? or have u's switched them off?

thanks in advance :)

Typical clueless woman hehe ^^, ok firstly the big button is the say nav slot not a button. To disable the start stop press the button next to the city steering button located similar to the grande. Use the menu button by the adjust light switch to change the display in the speedo to show the radio name We all I think keep our DRLs on but I started a trend by changing my bulbs to more expensive Looking ones and so have nearly everyone else lol. Click my name and look in my gallery.

Adam :)

Oh and we all I think have had the cubby hole problem. It's a quick dealer fix

1) on top of the dash, whats the big button for? the one that presses down quite a bit? Thats for the Blue&Me TomTom Accessory, basically a tomtom that gets power from that "button" (TomTom Port) meaning wireless & removable satnav with a few other bells & whistles (useful, but expensive!)

2) can u disable the start&stop? if so, wheres the button? S&S Off button is in the middle of the dashboard, next to the hazard lights button - S&S will automatically turn itself back on every time you start the car though :bang:

3) theres a cubby hole beside my right knee, but it wont close properly. anyone have the same problem? Very much a known fault infact its the #1 on the Punto Evo checklist, Fiat Dealership can fix while you wait & certainly wont be a surprise to them.

4) can u not get what ur listening to (radio station, track number) to display in the middle of the speed dials?? had this in my grande punto I can on my Eleganza, when the cars stopped / engine off (ignition on) play with the Menu button by your knee (near the cubby hole) and you'll probably stumble into "Radio Display" or something similar. (Note: when the engines on, some options in that screen wont display.)

5) does everyone keep their driving lights on? or have u's switched them off? On! (y)

thanks in advance :)

No, unfortunately it can’t be set to “off” by default, the only way to turn it off is via the button on the dash… every time you start the engine! :(

I wish! :( I find it a pain in the arse too & I've been told by the dealership its working normally.

You might get used to it, it depends how you drive... if not, just keep the clutch down unless you actually want S&S. (That's what I do)
