Fuel Filler Cap; Emergency Opening Of The Fuel Filler Cap - Alfa Romeo Brera Owner's Manual

FUEL FILLER CAP

The fuel tank lid can only be opened
with doors unlocked and engine
switched off.
Opening
Open the flap A-fig. 87 by means of
front part (see figure), turn cap B anti-
clockwise and extract it. The cap has a
device C retaining it to the flap so it can-
not be lost. When refuelling, attach the
cap to the flap, as illustrated.
Closing
Fit cap B in its housing and turn it clock-
wise until it clicks once or more, then close
the flap A.
IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank
may cause light pressurising in the tank.
A little breathing off, while slackening
the cap, is absolutely normal.

rettes near the fuel filler hole

hole either so as not to
breathe in harmful vapours.
