Fuel Flap Latch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The latch is incorporated into the hinge of the fuel flap. Pushing and releasing the flap opens the latch. Pushing the flap closed engages the latch. The flap is locked by a pin operated by a fuel flap release motor on the fuel flap housing. Operation of the fuel flap release motor is controlled by the BCM/GWM.
The fuel flap is locked when the vehicle is locked and alarmed. The fuel flap can be opened when the vehicle is unlocked or locked:
- via an interior handle,
- via Drive away locking,
- via the lock switch on the instrument panel,
- via the external door key barrel.
