Only change the fuel filler cap with
a genuine spare part in order not to
compromise the petrol fume recovery
system.
FUEL TANK CAP
Press the relief shown by the arrow
with your hand; flap A (fig. 96) will
open partially. Pull it out from rim B .
The cap is provided with a lock and
chain binding it to the body.
To open the fuel filler cap:
1) Hold the cap in position (still)
and turn the key anticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap approximately one
quarter of a turn anticlockwise and
remove it.
IMPORTANT The air-tight seal of
the cap may lead to a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A hissing sound
when the cap is removed is, therefore,
quite normal.
IMPORTANT To prevent the key
from being lost it cannot be removed
from the cap until the cap is put back.
3) When filling, position cap C on
hook D on the flap, as shown in the
illustration.
To close the fuel filler cap:
1) The cap is provided with a bayo-
net type lock. Position the cap (with
its key) and turn it clockwise until
you hear one or more clicks.
2) Turn the key clockwise and re-
move it. Close the flap.
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.
