Vauxhall Corsa - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa C - Years 2000-2006
Part: Lock
Operation: Opening the fuel tank cap

The opening and closing of the lock of the fuel cap protection flap are managed through the car's centralized locking system and there is no return button inside the passenger compartment. Once the car has been closed with the key or the remote control, all the locks will be closed, including that of the fuel flap which therefore cannot be opened. The opening of the same flap, however, is subject to the opening of all the locks, i.e. with a single impulse only the safety of the driver's door opens and all the others remain closed: it is therefore necessary to give another impulse to open all the locks , including that of the fuel filler flap.
