In an emergency, the flap can be
released by pulling wire B(fig. 216)
on the right-hand side of the boot
inside the service compartment.
To open the compartment flap,
turn the catch C(fig. 217) to 1using
the ignition key and lower it.IMPORTANTThe airtight seal of
the cap may lead to a slight increase
of pressure in the tank. A hissing
sound when the cap is removed is
therefore quite normal.
The cap is equipped with a device
which fastens it to the flap so that it
cannot be misplaced D(fig. 218).
While you are filling up, fasten the
cap to the device inside the flap as
shown in the figure.
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.REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry
out two refuelling operations after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun. Avoid
further topping up operations that
could cause damages to the fuel system.
IMPORTANTRefuelling shall always
be performed with engine off and igni-
tion key to STOP. If the engine is off
but the key is to MAR, a wrong fuel
level could temporarily be indicated.
This is due to the internal system con-
trol logic and cannot be considered as
a system malfunctioning.
