Do not drive with your helmet
hanging from the hook, as this
could compromise your safety
while driving.
Thanks to this hook, you no longer have
to carry the crash helmet with yourself
every time you park the vehicle.
To hang the crash helmet, introduce the
key in the lock (1), rotate it anticlockwise
and pass the special looped wire through
the hook (2).
Close the hook and rotate the key clock-
wise.
Make sure that the hook has been
properly closed.
During refuelling, avoid pushing
the gun (1) to the buttom of the
tank, in order to prevent fuel
from flowing out of the filler.
Screw the plug up carefully after re-
fuelling.
The fuel used for internal combustion
engines is extremely inflammable and
in particular conditions it can become
explosive.
It is important to carry out the refuelling
and the maintenance operations in a
well-ventilated area, with the engine off.
Do not smoke while refuelling or near
fuel vapours, in any case avoid any con-
tact with free flames, sparks and any
other heat source to prevent the fuel
from catching fire or from exploding.
Further, prevent fuel from flowing out
of the fuel filler, as it could catch fire
when getting in contact with the red-hot
surfaces of the engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make sure that the area has com-
pletely dried and before starting the ve-
hicle verify that there is no fuel inside
the fuel filler neck.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with the
skin and the inhalation of vapours; do
not swallow fuel or pour it from a recep-
tacle into another by means of a tube.

Since unleaded petrol expands
under the heat of the sun and
due to the effects of sun radia-
tion, never fill the tank to the brim.
Use only unleaded petrol, in conformity
with the DIN 51607 standard, min. O.N.
95 (N.O.R.M.) and 85 (N.O.M.M.).
The fuel tank capacity is approximately
16 , about 2,5 of which make up the
- -
reserve. To unlock the tank plug, insert
the ignition key in the lock and turn it
clockwise (Fig. 10).
