2016 Abarth 124 Spider ignition

WARNING
153)When removing the fuel filler cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for any
hissing to stop, then remove it: fuel spray is
dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes
and cause illness if ingested. Fuel spray is
released when there is pressure in the fuel
tank and the fuel filler cap is removed too
quickly.
154)Before refuelling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away from
the filler neck: fuel vapour is dangerous. It
could be ignited by sparks or flames
causing serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel filler
cap or not using a fuel filler cap may result
in a fuel leak, which could result in serious
burns or death in an accident.155)Do not continue refuelling after the
fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically:
continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump
nozzle has shut off automatically is
dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank
may cause fuel overflow or leakage. Fuel
overflow and leakage could damage the
vehicle and if the fuel ignites it could cause
a fire and explosion resulting in serious
injury or death.
156)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
157)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
158)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
