The opening and closing of the fuel door of new generation vehicles is closely linked to the unlocking of the vehicle's central locking system. To open the fuel door, we must therefore keep the vehicle in an unlocked state and lift the lever next to the driver's seat.

After unlocking the door, we can remove the tank cap and refuel. After completing the operation, we screw the cap clockwise and close the fuel door.

If the door does not open with the lifting of the lever, it may be necessary to remove the right side panel of the trunk in order to access the internal lever and unlock the door.
