Manually opening the fuel filler door


If necessary, the fuel filler door can be opened manually:
1. Open the side hatch in the trunk (on the same side as the fuel filler door).
2. Grasp the green cord with a handle.
3. Gently pull the cord straight rearward until the fuel filler door clicks open.
