Fuel filler flap
WARNINGS:
Take care when refuelling to avoid
spilling any residual fuel from the fuel
pipe nozzle.
WARNINGS:
We recommend that you wait at
least 10 seconds before removing
the fuel pipe nozzle to allow any
residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.

Press the flap to open it. Open the flap fully until it engages.
When you insert the fuel pipe nozzle, a spring loaded inhibitor will open if the correct size nozzle is detected. This will prevent filling up with the wrong fuel.

Insert the fuel pipe nozzle up to the first notch on the nozzle, and keep it in position on the fuel filler opening.
See Fuel filler flap.
