Protecting The Environment; Emergency Flap Opening; Diesel Particulate Filter (Dpf) - Alfa Romeo GIULIETTA Owner's Handbook Manual

Opening
Press flap A fig. 94 to release it and
access fuel tank cap B. Then press cap
B and turn it anticlockwise.
94
The cap is provided with a loss
prevention device C which attaches it
to the flap and prevents it from being
lost. Attach the cap to device D during
refuelling.

Emergency flap opening

In case of emergency, pull the cord A
fig. 95 on the right-hand side of the
boot to open the fuel flap.

Closure
Release cap B from device D and insert
it in its housing. Then tighten the cap
A0K0598 clockwise until one or more clicks
are heard. Finally, close flap A checking
that it is correctly locked.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.
WARNING
61) Keep naked flames or lit
cigarettes away from the fuel tank
filler: fire risk. Avoid bringing
your face close to the filler, in
order not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
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
A0K0599
gas recirculation system (EGR) and
particulate filter (DPF).
62)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(Diesel Particulate Filter)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to
eliminate almost all carbon particle
emissions in compliance with
current/future regulations and
standards.
