REFUELLING PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
EQUIPPED WITH "SMART FUEL" SYSTEM
"Smart Fuel" is a device integrated with the end of
the fuel filler pipe which opens and recloses
automatically when the fuel delivery gun is
introduced/removed. "Smart Fuel" is provided with
an inhibiter which prevents refuelling with incorrect
fuel.
The refuelling procedure described below is
illustrated on label B fig. 73, which is applied inside
the fuel flap. The label also indicates the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL=petrol, DIESEL=diesel fuel).
To refuel proceed as follows:
❒ open the flap A fig. 73 pulling it outwards;
❒ introduce the dispenser in the filler and refuel;
❒ at the end of refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds in order for
the fuel to flow inside the tank;
❒ then remove the dispenser from the filler and
close flap A.
Flap A fig. 73 is provided with a dust cowl C which
prevents deposits of impurities and dust at the
end of the filler when the flap is closed.
Emergency refuelling (only for versions
equipped with "Smart Fuel")
If there is no fuel in the car or the supply circuit is
completely empty, proceed as follows to reintroduce
fuel to the tank:
❒ open the luggage compartment and take adapter B
located in the tool box (versions equipped with
space-saver wheel - for versions/markets, where
provided) fig. 74 or in the Fix&Go Automatic
container (versions equipped with Fix&Go
Automatic) fig. 75;
❒ open the flap A pulling it outwards;
