Many cars are equipped with a supplementary system to unlock the fuel flap, while in many others, like the one in question, the opening and closing of the flap occurs simultaneously with the central locking; however, it may happen that even if the doors open, the flap remains closed due to a malfunction of the related lock: the designers anticipated this eventuality and implemented a manual unlocking device accessible from the boot; therefore, open the rear bonnet and remove the side plastic grille to view the flap lock: near the white pin is the tab that allows you to unlock and open the flap.
