aWARNING
The fuel used for internal combustion
engines is extremely inflammable and
in particular conditions it can become
explosive.
It is important to carry out the refuelling
and the maintenance operations in a
well-ventilated area, with the engine off.
Do not smoke while refuelling or near
fuel vapours, in any case avoid any con-
tact with naked flames, sparks and any
other heat source to prevent the fuel
from catching fire or from exploding.
Further, prevent fuel from flowing out of
the fuel filler, as it could catch fire when
getting in contact with the red-hot sur-
faces of the engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make sure that the area has com-
pletely dried and before starting the ve-
hicle verify that there is no fuel inside
the fuel filler neck.
Since petrol expands under the heat of
the sun and due to the effects of sun ra-
diation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the plug up carefully after refuel-
ling. Avoid any contact of the fuel with
the skin and the inhalation of vapours;
do not swallow fuel or pour it from a re-
ceptacle into another by means of a
tube.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE EN-
VIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only premium grade unleaded petrol,
min. O.N. 95 (N.O.R.M.) and 85
(N.O.M.M.).
To refuel, proceed as follows:
◆ Raise the flap (1).
◆ Insert the key (2) in the tank plug lock
(3).
◆ Turn the key clockwise, pull and open
the fuel flap.

ed): 18

aCAUTION
Do not put additives or other substanc-
es into the fuel.
If you use a funnel or other similar
items, make sure that they are perfectly
clean.
aWARNING
Do not fill the tank completely; the max-
imum fuel level must remain below the
lower edge of the filler neck (see figure).
