Just bought my son a 2013 1.2 punto easy, it seems to drive well, but on getting home we’ve noticed a couple of things.
1: on start up it says parking sensors unavailable any ideas why it would have this message.
2: yellow warning triangle with exclamation ⚠️ I’m assuming it’s to do with the above
3: Bluetooth doesn’t work, or the windows button & phone button on steering wheel, after some research I see this is the blue & me system
4: I thought this model came with stop/ start, how would I know if it does, cause if it does it doesn’t seem to work.
5: not sure if it has the battery drain issue, as when we went to look at it, it did have a flat battery (at that point, I did not know they was such thing as a battery drain issue) the dealer just gave a quick jump start and told me it had a new battery which I could see it has.

Regarding the blue & me stereo, I’ve read it’s just best to remove it, so if we was to get a new multimedia console, would the buttons on the steering wheel work with the new unit and would we need to remove the module, also where would the module be located?

I'm not a punto owner but from what I could read on the forum the blue & me module is independent from the radio unit. You can remove the module leaving the radio working. It is commonly known as a battery draining cause...

1 and 2 are probably connected. However can be the effect of the drained battery.

Read some threads regarding the blue & me module. Check how to disconnect it. I assume it will give you the flashing mileage, as the CAN system will notice one module missing and proxi alignment would be necessary. It's quite simple with MultiEcuScan, but some precautions have to be taken. So, better do it with someone experianced.

Start&stop will be unavailable when the battery is discharged to avoid leaving you in the middle of a road :D

Attached the eLearn doc on the module.
