FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 103
To carry out fuelling, if your car fits a cen-
tralised door locking system, unlock the
doors, open lid A and unscrew cap B; the
cap is fitted with a special device C which
fastens it to the lid so it cannot be mislaid.
If your car does not fit a centralised lock-
ing system, operate lever A-fig. 104 to
release the flap.
In some versions, cap B may be provided
with a lock and key; use the ignition key
to access the flap A-fig. 103, turn it an-
ticlockwise and loosen the cap itself.
The airtight closing may determine a slight
increase of pressure in the tank. A suction
noise when you release the cap is there-
fore entirely normal.

When refuelling, position the cap on the
device inside the lid as shown in fig. 103.
WARNING
Do not approach naked
flames or lit sigarettes to the
fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.

In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒ oxidising catalytic converter;
❒ exhaust gas recirculation system
