FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 103
To carry out fuelling, if your car fits a cen-
tralised door locking system, unlock the
doors, open lid Aand unscrew cap B; the
cap is fitted with a special device Cwhich
fastens it to the lid so it cannot be mislaid.
If your car does not fit a centralised lock-
ing system, operate lever A-fig. 104to
release the flap.
In some versions, cap Bmay be provided
with a lock and key; use the ignition key
to access the flap A-fig. 103, turn it an-
ticlockwise and loosen the cap itself.
The airtight closing may determine a slight
increase of pressure in the tank. A suction
noise when you release the cap is there-
fore entirely normal.
