To lock the fuel tank cap of a Volkswagen car, turn the cap to the right until you hear a click sound. The fuel tank cap refers to the container on the car used for storing gasoline, which has good sealing. Volkswagen models include: Magotan, Sagitar, Golf, Lamando, Santana, etc. Taking the Volkswagen Sagitar 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2731mm. The Volkswagen Sagitar 2021 is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 175Nm.
Locking the fuel filler cap on a Volkswagen is actually quite simple, and it took me several years of driving one to fully understand it. Unlike some cars that require a separate key to lock it, the fuel filler cap is integrated with the central locking system. When you press the central locking button or lock the doors from inside the car, all the doors including the trunk and fuel filler cap automatically lock. To operate it, simply park the car, turn off the engine, and press the lock button – a clicking sound indicates that the fuel filler cap is also locked. It's important to pay attention to this regularly to prevent fuel theft or accidental opening of the fuel filler, especially in crowded parking lots. If there's no response, don't panic; first check if the doors are actually locked or if any related fuses in the fuse box have blown. During routine maintenance, it's a good idea to test the central locking function.
