Unlocking the fuel tank filler cover

As standard the fuel tank filler cover unlocks at the same time as other doors and locks again after 10 minutes or when the vehicle reaches 16 km/h (10 mph).

If the vehicle is equipped with a fuel leakage diagnostics system then a switch for unlocking the fuel tank filler cover is located on the light switch module (LSM). The light switch module (LSM) communicates in serial with the central electronic module (CEM) and transmits the information if the switch has been pressed. The lock motor for the fuel tank filler cover is located on the rear edge of the fuel tank filler cover. The lock motor is directly connected to the rear electronic module (REM).
