Fuel Filler Cap - Lancia Lybra Owner's Handbook Manual

FUEL FILLER CAP

The fuel filler cap flap is controlled
automatically by the central door
locking system.
In an emergency, the flap can be re-
leased by pulling wire A (fig. 169) on
the right-hand side of the boot (saloon
versions).
In Station Wagon versions, wire A
(fig. 170) can be found inside the
right-hand utility compartment on the
right-hand side of the boot. Pull the
handle and remove the flap to reach
the wire.
The airtight seal of the cap may lead
to a slight increase of pressure in the
tank. A hissing sound when the cap is
removed is therefore quite normal.

When centrally unlocked, the flap
will be in line with the body. To open
the flap, press the front part in point
B (fig. 171) where there is a slight
ridge on the surface.
Then pull the back of the flap back-
wards and turn it outwards at the
same time as shown by the arrow un-
til the flap is fully open.

The cap is equipped with a device
A (fig. 172) which fastens it to the
flap so that it cannot be misplaced.
While you are filling up, fasten the
cap to the device inside the flap as
shown in the figure.
Do not put naked flames
or lighted cigarettes near
the fuel filer hole as there
is a danger of fire. Do not bend too
close to the hole either so as not to
breathe in harmful vapours.
