access flap 1.
Observe the following precautions
during the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
apply the handbrake;
ignition key turned to the OFF
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are various types of adapters for
the refuelling pump. Adapter 1 fig. 135,
supplied with the car and located in a
special case, is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If
you are in a different country, find out
what type of adapter is used there.IMPORTANT Before refuelling with LPG,
the qualified personnel must make sure
that the adapter is correctly screwed
onto the filler.
IMPORTANT Look after the LPG
adapter carefully so that it does not get
damaged.
IMPORTANT Only use LPG for motor
vehicles.
WARNING
127)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.
128)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.
129)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.

other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has
been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain the
fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit
as well.
