Fuel Tank Flap - Maserati Spyder Owner's Manual

Fuel tank flap

The fuel tank flap is found on the
right-hand rear side of the car. To open
the flap, press pushbutton A which is
located inside the glove compartment.
Operation is possible only with the
ignition key removed or in the STOP
position.
The cap's hermetic seal may result in a
slight pressure increase in the tank.
Any hissing noise whilst the cap is
being released is therefore completely
normal.

When refueling, the cap must remain
hanging from the flap by means of the
respective hook B.
The cap is joined to the filler neck with
a strap to prevent misplacement while
refueling.
The flap must be re-closed manually.
Before closing the flap, check that the
fuel filler cap is fully tightened.
Do not bring naked flames or
lit cigarettes close to the filler:
risk of fire!
Also avoid putting your face close to
the filler so as not to inhale noxious
fumes.
