Press the button on the instrument panel.
Pressure equalisation of the fuel tank involves a certain delay in opening the flap. The message Fuel tank Fuel lid is opening is shown in the driver display, and then Fuel tank Ready for refuelling.
After refuelling is finished - close the flap with a gentle press.
Refuelling with fuel pump

Refuelling is carried out as follows.
Open the fuel filler flap.
Insert the pump nozzle in the fuel filler opening. Take care to insert the nozzle properly into the filler pipe. The filler pipe consists of two opening flaps. The nozzle must be pushed past both flaps before refuelling is started.
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump nozzle cuts out the first time.
The tank is full.
Note
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot weather.
Label
Never use the fuel-driven heater when the car is in a filling station area.
