REFUELLING THE CAR
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the fuel filler is too
small to introduce the nozzle of a leaded petrol pumps.
The petrol octane rating (RON) must not be lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads to
harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 105
To carry out refuelling, open flap A and unscrew cap B.
The cap is fitted with a device C which fastens it to the
lid so it cannot be mislaid.
In some versions, cap B has a lock and key: open flap A,
insert the ignition key then turn it anticlockwise and
unscrew the cap itself.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure increase in the
tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is
therefore entirely normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to the device inside the
flap as shown in the
figure.
