GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
186
FUEL CAP (fig. 170)
The fuel flap is released from inside the
car, raising the front part of the lever (A).
The fuel cap (A-fig. 171) has a catch
to prevent misplacing it (B) that fastens it
to the flap (C).
WARNING The fuel tank is sealed hermetically
and pressure may build up inside.
Any noise of rushing air when the cap is removed
is perfectly normal.
WARNING For your safety, make sure
that the fuelling pump nozzle is inserted correctly
into the housing, before starting the
engine.

WARNING
Do not get near the fuel
filler with naked flames or
lit cigarettes: danger of fire. Also
avoid going too near the filler with
the face to avoid inhaling harmful
vapours.
In case of need, replace
the fuel cap only with an
original one; otherwise,
the efficiency of the petrol vapour
recovery system could be badly affected.
