Opening and Closing the Fuel Cap on a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Fuel cap

To refuel the tank of your Fiat 500, you need to open the cap, which has a protection system that allows it to turn freely. To unlock it, use your left hand to hold the tabs of the cap, insert the key, turning it to the left, and then, using the tabs, you can turn it to the left and open it for refuelling. Once finished, close the cap, ensuring the two tabs inside fit into the central slots of the filler neck, turn the cap to the right until you hear a click, hold the cap with your left hand, and remove the key.
