In an emergency, the flap can be

released by pulling wire B (fig. 216)

on the right-hand side of the boot

inside the service compartment. 

To open the compartment flap,

turn the catch C (fig. 217) to 1 using

the ignition key and lower it.

IMPORTANT The airtight seal of

the cap may lead to a slight increase

of pressure in the tank. A hissing

sound when the cap is removed is

therefore quite normal.

The cap is equipped with a device

which fastens it to the flap so that it

cannot be misplaced D (fig. 218).

While you are filling up, fasten the

cap to the device inside the flap as

shown in the figure.

Do not put naked flames

or lighted cigarettes near

the fuel filler hole as there

is a danger of fire. Do not bend too

close to the hole either so as not to

breathe in harmful vapours.

REFUELLING

To guarantee full tank filling, carry

out two refuelling operations after the

first click of the fuel delivery gun. Avoid

further topping up operations that

could cause damages to the fuel system.

IMPORTANT Refuelling shall always

be performed with engine off and igni-

tion key to STOP. If the engine is off

but the key is to MAR, a wrong fuel

level could temporarily be indicated.

This is due to the internal system con-

trol logic and cannot be considered as

a system malfunctioning.
