Locking And Unlocking The Fuel Tank Filler Cover, Models With Fuel Tank Filler Cover Opening Via Remote Switch (Market Dependent)

The fuel tank filler cover can be locked:

• Automatically when the speed of the car exceeds 7 km/h (5 mph).

The fuel tank filler cover can be unlocked:

• Using the switch above the light switch.

At 7 km/h (5 mph) the fuel tank filler cover locks automatically and remains locked until the switch is reactivated. The fuel tank filler cover lock is unaffected by the remote control. Locking and unlocking the doors and other hatches is carried out the same way as for models without  fuel tank filler cover opening via remote switch.

Models with  fuel tank filler cover opening via remote switch are equipped with a fuel leakage detecting system. The system for fuel leakage detecting pressurizes the fuel system to trace any leakage. The test is carried after the ignition has been switched off. When the switch is activated any leakage detection underway is stopped to evacuate the over pressure from the fuel tank. The over pressure is evacuated to prevent the fuel from traveling up the fuel filler pipe when the fuel tank filler cap is opened.
