- If it does, go to step 2.

- Remove the original fuel filler lid cover.
3.1. Lift the fuel filler lid locking tab.
NOTE
The original fuel filler lid cover may be a flat type like the one shown below, or it may be a hooded type like the one shown in step 2. All the replacement lids will be the hooded type.
3.2. Slide the lid towards the fuel fill door hinge.
3.3. Slide the lid until the four tabs disengage from the slots in the fuel fill door.
- Installation of the new fuel filler lid is the reverse of removal. Verify all the tabs are engaged, and slide the lid away from the fuel fill door hinge until it clicks. This indicates the fuel filler lid cover is secured and correctly installed.
- Make sure the fuel fill door closes and latches without contact or interference from the mis-fuel inhibit device and surrounding area.
- Make sure the fuel fill door release works correctly when using the fuel fill door release button. If the fuel fill door still sticks out more than 1 mm, check the fuel filler adapter for broken clips or mis-installation. If the adapter is OK, do normal troubleshooting.
