of fuel spray with a possible health or fire hazard.
Filler Cap: The fuel filler is located in the right hand rear quarter
panel, concealed by a flush fitting hinged flap. To open the flap,
press the release button in the fascia panel outboard of the
steering column, with or without the ignition key in position, and
the flap will spring fully open. Unscrew the filler cap. As the
cap is turned, any pressure differential between the tank and
the atmosphere will be released and a brief hiss may be heard.
Allow the pressure to equalise gradually to avoid the potential
for a small amount of spray. Note that the cap is tethered to
prevent its loss, and should be hooked onto a tab provided for
this purpose, on the hinge of the flap.
To refit, place the cap into the filler neck and turn clockwise
until the ratchet mechanism clicks several times. Push the
flap closed.
