I looked around and cannot find it - is there a picture available of the petrol fuel filler door location, closed and open, with the description of how to access it? Does it require a key or is it a latch, is it on the left or right side, is it capped or like a Volvo with no cap, is it tethered if capped and of so is there a fixture/hook to hold the lanyard? The owners manual doesn’t describe it.

This is a small detail but would appreciate some Insight please. Thanks!

I can only answer one part - it's on the right side of the vehicle (LHD "passenger" side).

It's on the right hand side, so drivers side for RHD and passenger side for LHD
It is a simple push to open and close but can only be opened when engine off
It has a normal quarter turn cap under the door or in the case of the Diesel it has two caps, one for diesel and one for adblue

Sorry no pictures but can confirm the filler cap is on the right. The opening flap is unlocked when you unlock the vehicle with the key fob. A simple push of the flap opens it. The filler neck has a quarter turn filler cap which is tethered. After replacing fuel cap push close the door.
this is for petrol RHD
edit @DaveB beat me to it

There is a hole in the arm/hinge to put the spike on the cap when filling up

That’s interesting that the diesel filler cap has info o it to say diesel. My petrol filler cap is blank and I’ve purchased petrol stickers to put on it and inside hinged cover.

Is that to do with the fuel filler nozzle sizes?

You can't get a diesel nozzle in a petrol filler - it's too big; but you can put a petrol nozzle in a diesel filler.

Hence just a warning on a diesel filler.

Didn’t know that. Never too old to learn.

oouch, diesel in petrol nasty, petrol in diesel nasty but slightly less nasty.

would assume those filling stations on the African continent may not have such regulations followed re pipe girth.

Not sure about Africa but yes certainly for Russia/Central Asia. Out in the sticks, that is.

My wife in a hurry once put petrol in our diesel but luckily realised because it was so relatively cheap to fill up! Pushed it to the side of the forecourt, without starting the engine called the RAC and no damage done. I was simultaneously cross with and proud of her!

Here in the US, diesel nozzles are also bright green.
