2017 FIAT SPIDER ABARTH fuel cap release

Do not apply any object/plug to the end
of the filler which is not provided for the
vehicle. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
Do not use a mobile phone near the
refueling pump: risk of fire.
Emergency Fuel Filler
Door Release
If the battery is discharged, the fuel filler
door cannot be opened. In this case,
the fuel filler door can be opened by
taking care of the discharged battery
situation.
If the fuel filler door cannot be opened
even if the discharged battery situation
has been resolved, the electrical system
may have a malfunction.
In this case, the fuel filler door can be
opened using the following procedure
as an emergency measure:
1. Open the trunk and pull the center
section of the plastic fastener and
remove the fastener. 2. Partially peel back the cover inside
the trunk, then pull the emergency
release lever. VEHICLE LOADING Certification Label
As required by National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration regulations, your
vehicle has a certification label affixed to
the driver's side door or pillar.
This label contains the month and year
of manufacture, Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR), Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) front and rear, and
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A
Month-Day-Hour (MDH) number is
included on this label and indicates the
Month, Day and Hour of manufacture.
The bar code that appears on the
bottom of the label is your VIN.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) The GVWR is the total permissible
weight of your vehicle including driver,
passengers, vehicle, options and cargo.
The label also specifies maximum
capacities of front and rear axle
systems (GAWR). Total load must be
limited so GVWR and front and rear
GAWR are not exceeded.
Payload The payload of a vehicle is defined as
the allowable load weight a truck can
carry, including the weight of the driver,
all passengers, options and cargo. 08100100-121-002
