Adding Fuel - Fiat 500L 2020 Owner's Manual

136 STARTING AND OPERATING

ADDING FUEL

1. Open the fuel filler door.
2. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door
inside the pipe seals the system.
3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler
pipe – the nozzle opens and holds the
flapper door while refueling.
NOTE:
Only the correct size nozzle opens the latches
allowing the flapper door to open.
4. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel
nozzle "clicks" or shuts off the fuel tank is
full.
5. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel
door.
NOTE:
A funnel is provided (located in the tool bag or
cargo floor area in the rear cargo area) to open
the flapper door to allow for emergency refueling
with a gas can.

Emergency Fuel Filling
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or

near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or
the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is running.

This is in violation of most state and federal
fire regulations and may cause the "Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light" to turn on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a

portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
You could be burned. Always place fuel
containers on the ground while filling.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
"top off" the fuel tank after filling.
