Warning: Gasoline is a highly flammable and explosive product - when refueling your car, remember to turn off the engine and never approach the vehicle with an open flame or a lit cigarette! If fuel gets on the body surfaces, wash it off with plenty of water as soon as possible to prevent damage to the paintwork! If the smell of fuel appears in the cabin, you should immediately eliminate the cause of its appearance.
The filler neck is mounted in the right rear wing of the car. If equipped accordingly, the hatch is unlocked/locked simultaneously with the doors by a single locking system. The fuel tank is equipped with a special limiter, preventing the risk of overfilling.
Open the hatch and turn the filler cap counterclockwise, remove it and secure it in the special eye on the back of the hatch cover (see illustration 5.1). Caution: On Combo models, to avoid damage, do not fully open the right sliding door when the filler flap is open!
5.1. Fuel tank filler cap and hatch
To close the filler neck, put the cap back in place and rotate it until you hear a noticeable click of the lock, then close the hatch by pressing the hinged cover tightly.
Note: If the lid is not closed tightly when locking the vehicle, it may remain unlocked.
Caution: Only genuine Opel caps should be used as replacement caps. Using a cap of a different design may result in a malfunction of the fuel system! Models with diesel engines are equipped with specially designed caps!
