Fuel tank flap

The fuel tank flap is found on the rear,
left-hand side of the vehicle. To open
the flap, press button A located on the
left of the steering wheel.
It can be operated only when the
ignition key is removed or turned to
STOP.
The cap's hermetic seal may result in a
slight pressure increase in the tank.
Any hissing noise whilst the cap is
being released is therefore completely
normal.

When refuelling, the cap must remain
attached to the flap by means of the
respective hook B.

Fuel tank flap

The cap is linked to the filler neck with
a strap, so that it cannot be misplaced
while refuelling.
The flap must be re-closed manually.
Before closing the flap, check that the
fuel filler cap is fully tightened.
Do not bring naked flames or
lit cigarettes close to the filler:
risk of fire!
Also avoid putting your face close to
the filler neck so as not to inhale
noxious fumes.
