EMERGENCY FLAP OPENING
DEVICE
If the electrical control fails to work it is
still possible to open the flap by pulling
the cord (A-fig. 152) on the right-hand
side of the luggage compartment.

cap is removed is perfectly normal.
If necessary, replace the
fuel filler cap only by
another original one,
otherwise the efficiency of the
fuel vapour recovery system
could be compromised.
