Special coloured labels have been at-
tached near to or actually on some of
the components making up your Fiat
barchetta. These labels bear symbols
that remind you of the precautions to
be taken as regards that particular
component.
A list of the symbols to be found on
your Fiat barchetta is given below,
with the name of the component to
which it relates at the side of it.
These symbols are divided into the
following four categories: danger, pro-
hibition, warning and obligation.DANGER SYMBOLS

PROHIBITION SYMBOLS
65
A catalytic converter
that does not work prop-
erly leads to the emission
of harmful gases and the conse-
quent pollution of the atmos-
phere.
Never put even the tini-
est amount of leaded
petrol into the fuel tank,
even in an emergency. You would
damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.FUEL FILLER CAP
The cap is provided with a strap A-
fig. 82fastening it to the flap so that
is cannot be lost..
To open:hold the cap still and turn
the key anti-clockwise. Turn the cap
by half a turn anti-clockwise and re-
move it.
The air-tight cap can cause a slight in-
crease in pressure inside the fuel tank.
A suction noise when removing the
cap is, therefore, perfectly normal.The cap can be positioned directly on
the flap while refuelling as shown in
fig. 82.
To close: insert the cap (with key)
and turn it clockwise until it clicks
once or twice. Hold the cap still, turn
the key clockwise and remove it.
IMPORTANT If the fuel filler cap
needs changing, use only genuine
spares, otherwise you risk damaging
the fuel vapour recovery system.

Do not put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the
hole either so as not to breathe in
harmful vapours.
