STARTING AND DRIVING
483
Opening and closing the fuel filler
flap
The fuel filler flap is unlocked by pressing a
button on the instrument panel.
In the driver display, the
arrow next to the tank symbol
indicates which side of the
car the fuel filler flap is
located.
1. Press the button on the instrument panel.
> Pressure equalisation of the fuel tank
involves a certain delay in opening the
flap. The message
Preparing for refuel
Fuel lid will be unlocked when ready
appears in the driver display, and when
the system is ready the message
Fuel
tank Ready for refuelling appears in
the driver display. If the internal com-
bustion engine is switched on when the
button is pressed, it is generally
switched off and the car switches to
electric mode.
NOTE
After the fuel filler flap has been opened,
refuelling must take place within about 15
minutes. After this, the valve that was
opened by pressing the button to open the
fuel filler cap is closed, and it is no longer
possible to refuel because the pump nozzle
cuts out.
If the valve is closed before refuelling is
complete - press the button again and wait
until the driver display shows the message
Fuel tank Ready for refuelling.
2. After refuelling is finished - close the flap
with a gentle press.
