Check Seat Adjustment Lever: Locate the seat adjustment lever underneath or on the side of the driver's seat. Make sure it's fully engaged in the locked position.
Clean Seat Tracks: Sometimes, dirt and debris can accumulate on the seat tracks, preventing them from locking properly. Clean the tracks using a vacuum cleaner and a brush.
Inspect Seat Latch Mechanism: Check the seat latch mechanism for any damage or wear. Ensure the latch is properly engaging with the locking mechanism on the seat frame.
Test Seat Locking: Try to manually lock and unlock the seat. If it's not locking securely, there might be an issue with the locking mechanism itself.
Lubricate Seat Tracks: Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as silicone spray or WD-40, to the seat tracks. This can help smooth out the movement of the seat.
Check for Obstructions: Make sure there aren't any obstacles or objects interfering with the seat's locking mechanism.
Consult Owner's Manual: Refer to your Fiat Punto's owner's manual for specific instructions and recommendations on seat adjustment and maintenance.
Seek Professional Assistance: If the issue persists after trying these steps or you're uncomfortable resolving the problem yourself, it's best to seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or an authorized Fiat service center.
