Greetings to all members,

This is my first post, I am the owner of the Punto from 2014 and the problem that I have is that during the car starting on the dashboard alert (picture attached) pops up along with "bib" sound. At the first, I think that battery is the root cause of this issue. If someone had or have a similar problem that was solved I would be grateful if you would share with me the solution.

Hi and welcome to Fiat Forum,
The most likely causes of starting problems are a bad battery or bad battery connections. Unless the battery is less than a coupl of yers old I'd suspect that first. Next check the connections especially th "ground" leads between battery negative and chassi and engine and chassis. On some Fiats these corrode internally and while looking OK they fail under high current. A quick check for these if the fault is repeatable is to connect a single jump lead between battery negative and the engine block and see if the fault goes away.

Hi,

Thank you for tips and help in this matter, since the battery is 3.5 years old I will try to charge it (to full capacity) and see how long it will hold power.
I will post the result.
