This is a very simple and quick task that may concern those attempting it, as it involves a particularly delicate part. By following the steps described in this brief guide, you can save time and money.

First, disconnect the battery cables to avoid any issues. To remove the fuel tank cap, lift the cushions of the rear passenger seats, remove the first hard cover secured by three screws, and then use either a special tool to unscrew the tank collar or a rubber mallet.
