FUEL FILLER CAP
the cap (B) is fitted with an antiloss device (C) which fastens it to the lid
(A) so it cannot be mislaid.
To open: hold the cap (B) still, turn the key anticlockwise, turn the cap by
about half a turn and remove it.
While refuelling, the cap can be placed directly on the flap (A) as shown
in the figure.
IMPORTANT The hermetic closure may cause a slight pressure build-up
in the tank, a slight hiss when opening the cap is quite normal.
To close: fit the cap (with the key) and turn it clockwise until you hear
one or more clicks; hold the cap still, turn the key clockwise then
remove it.
IMPORTANT If it becomes necessary to replace the cap, use only an
original spare, otherwise the vapour recovery system efficiency could
become reduced.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two refuelling operations after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further topping up operations
that could cause damages to the fuel system.
F0E0667m
Do not put naked flames or lighted cigarettes near the fuel filler 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.WARNING

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may help you to
keep the running costs of your car down and lower
the amount of toxic emissions released into the
atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an
interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to
rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage stowed in the
boot. The weight of the car (especially when driving in
town) and its trim greatly affects consumption and
stability.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof as
soon as they are no longer used. These accessories
lower air penetration and adversely affect
consumption levels. When needing to carry
particularly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing the
requirement of current increases fuel consumption (up
to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load which greatly
affects the engine leading to higher consumption (on
average up to +20%). When the temperature outside
the vehicle permits it, use the air vents where possible.
Aerodynamic accessories
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may
adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.
