WARNING
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 96 and 97
The cap B is fitted with an antiloss device C retaining it to
the flap A so it cannot be lost.
To slacken the cap B, first open the flap A. The sealing may
cause a slight pressure increase in the tank. A little breath-
ing off, while slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to the device inside the flap
as shown in the figure.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTSSome useful tips are given below for fuel saving and re-
ducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate
Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled servicing plan.”
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, con-
sumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of
the car (especially when driving in town) and its trim great-
ly affects consumption and stability.
Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski racks, luggage con-
tainer, etc. from the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air penetration and ad-
versely affect consumption levels. When needing to
carry particularly voluminous objects, preferably use
a trailer.
To change gears properly you must push
the clutch pedal fully down. For this rea-
son, there must be no obstacles on the floor un-
der the pedals: ensure that rubber mats (if any)
are lying flat and do not interfere with the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
shifting lever, because this pressure, even
if light, over time can wear out the gearbox
internal components.
