FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel cap is unlocked when the central locking system is released
and automatically locked when the central locking system is ap-
plied.
To open
Press the flap A-fig. 89 to release it and reach the fuel filler cap
B. Then press the cap B and turn it anticlockwise.
The cap has a loss prevention device C which secures it to the flap
so that it cannot be lost. Attach the cap to device D during refu-
elling.
How to open the flap in an emergency
In case of emergency, pull the cord A-fig. 90 on the right-hand side
of the boot to open the fuel flap.
Pull the cord to release the lock. Then press the flap to open it.
Closing
Release the cap B from the device D and insert it in its housing.
Tighten the cap in a clockwise direction until one or more clicks are
heard. Finally, close the flap A and check that is it correctly locked.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure in the
tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is therefore entirely
normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes near
to the fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your face away
from the fuel tank opening to avoid breathing in
harmful vapours.
