Protecting The Environment - Alfa Romeo MiTo 2013 Owner's Handbook Manual

Closure
Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more. Then turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure increase in the tank. A little
breathing off, while slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes near to the
fuel filler: fire risk. Also, keep your face away from
this fuel inlet to avoid inhaling harmful fumes.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The following devices are used for reducing petrol fuel engine
emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and evaporation control
system
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel engine
emissions: oxidising catalytic converter, exhaust gas recirculation
system (EGR) and particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a mechanical filter, fitted in the exhaust system, which almost
completely eliminates carbon particle emissions.
The catalytic converter and particulate filter (DPF) reach
very high temperatures during operation. Therefore
do not park the car on flammable materials (grass, dry
leaves, pine needles etc.): fire hazard.
