Step 1: Locate the Petrol Cap Release Lever
The petrol cap release lever is usually located on the driver’s side of the vehicle, near the floor. It can be easily identified by a small image of a fuel pump or by the word “PETROL” written next to it. Take a moment to locate this lever in your Citroen C3.
Step 2: Pull the Petrol Cap Release Lever
Once you have located the petrol cap release lever, gently pull it towards you. You should hear a click or feel a slight resistance. This means that the fuel cap is now unlocked.
Step 3: Open the Fuel Cap Door
After releasing the petrol cap, you need to open the fuel cap door. To do this, move to the exterior of your vehicle and locate the fuel cap door on the rear side. It is usually on the same side as the driver’s seat. Give the fuel cap door a gentle push, and it should swing open.
Step 4: Unscrew the Petrol Cap
With the fuel cap door open, you can now see the petrol cap. To open it, simply unscrew it in an anti-clockwise direction. Keep in mind that some Citroen C3 models may have a lock on the petrol cap that requires a key. If that’s the case, insert the key and turn it in an anti-clockwise direction to unlock the cap.
Step 5: Refuel your Citroen C3
Now that the petrol cap is open, you can proceed to refuel your Citroen C3 as usual. Insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel tank and fill it up to the desired level. Once you are done refueling, make sure to securely screw the petrol cap back in place.
Step 6: Close the Fuel Cap Door
After refueling and securely closing the petrol cap, gently push the fuel cap door back into its original position until you hear a click. This indicates that the door is securely closed.
- Ensure the fuel cap door is properly closed before driving. A loose or open fuel cap door can cause fuel leakage or other issues.
- Remember to remove the fuel nozzle from the fuel tank before driving away from the petrol station.
- In case you encounter any difficulties or your Citroen C3 has a different petrol cap mechanism, refer to the vehicle’s manual or consult a professional for assistance.
Following these steps will help you easily open the petrol cap of your Citroen C3. Remember to handle the cap and fuel with care to avoid any mishaps. Enjoy your refueling experience and safe travels!
