Opening and closing the fuel cap of these cars is child's play. To open it, lift the little door, take the key, insert it into the lock of the cap, and turn it counterclockwise, then unscrew the cap normally.

While refueling, you can leave the cap attached to the little door in the appropriate hook. To close the cap, screw it tightly until it stops, then insert the key again, turn it clockwise to lock it, and remove it. If you hear a click, you did everything right.

If you can't do it right away, don't worry, with a little practice you will definitely learn and it will come naturally to you.
