How to Open the Fuel Filler Flap on the Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda - Years 2012-2021
Part: Fuel cap

This video explains the technical operation of opening and closing the fuel filler cap. With the ignition on, the fuel cap, or rather the fuel filler flap, is open and accessible. When attempting to turn off the ignition mentioned above and then lock the car with the key, it is assumed that the fuel flap, like the car doors, is closed, but this is not the case; in fact, it remains open. Ultimately, you can access the fuel tank whether the car is locked or unlocked.
