1. Press the button on the instrument panel.
> Pressure equalisation of the fuel tank
involves a certain delay in opening the
flap. The message Fuel tank Fuel filler
cap open is shown in the driver dis-
play, and then Fuel tank Ready for
refuelling in the driver display. If the
internal combustion engine is switched
on when the button is pressed, it is
generally switched off and the car
switches to electric mode.
NOTE
After the fuel filler flap has been opened,
refuelling must take place within about 15
minutes. After this, the valve that was
opened by pressing the button to open the
fuel filler cap is closed, and it is no longer
possible to refuel because the pump nozzle
cuts out.
If the valve is closed before refuelling is
complete - press the button again and wait
until the driver display shows the message
Fuel tank Ready for refuelling
2. After refuelling is finished - close the flap
with a gentle press.
