Fuel filler cap  
Only use genuine fuel filler caps.  
Diesel-engined vehicles have special  
fuel filler caps.

the coupling ball. However, do not do  
so if a stabiliser, which acts on the  
coupling ball, is being used to reduce  
snaking movements.  
During trailer towing do not exceed a  
speed of 50 mph. A maximum speed  
of 60 mph is only appropriate if an  
oscillation damper is used and the  
permissible gross trailer weight does  
not exceed the vehicle's curb weight.  
The fuel filler cap can be attached to  
the hook on the fuel filler flap.
