FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 117
To carry out fuelling, open lid A and un-
screw cap B; the cap is fitted with an an-
tiloss device C which fastens it to the lid
so it cannot be mislaid.
On certain versions cap B is provided with
a key-lock, to open it, open lid A, then
turn the ignition key counter-clockwise
and slacken the cap.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely
normal.
When refuelling, position the cap on the
device inside the lid as shown in fig. 117.
WARNING
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 top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.
