If you have to replace it, make sure it is identical to the original cap. Contact an approved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source of heat or flame.

Fuel grade
Use a high-grade fuel that complies with the legislation in force in each country and which must comply with the specifications given on the label on the cover A. Refer to the information on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol. The octane rating (RON) must conform to the values indicated on the label located on the cover A. Refer to the information on engine specifications in Section 6.
Diesel version
Only use diesel fuel which complies with the information on the label located inside the cover A.
Fuel types that conform to European standards with which the engines of vehicles sold in Europe are compatible: refer to the “Engine specifications” in section 6.
Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle and insert it fully before turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically at the end of the filling procedure, a maximum of two further filling attempts may be made, as there must be sufficient space in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel tank during filling. The cover A and its surround must remain clean.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the antipollution system and may lead to a loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler neck consists of a restrictor fitted with a safety system which only allows a nozzle for unleaded petrol to be used (at the pump).
The engine must be switched off for refuelling (and not just on standby for vehicles equipped with the Stop and Start) function: it is essential to switch off the engine completely (please refer to the “Starting and stopping the engine” section in Chapter 2).
Fire hazard.
Do not mix even small amounts of petrol (unleaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based fuel if your vehicle is not compatible with this fuel.
Do not add reagent to the fuel, otherwise you risk damaging the engine (refer to the information on “Reagent Tank” in section 1).
If you wish to add an additive to the fuel, use a product approved by our Technical Department.
Consult an approved dealer.
