How to Open the Fuel Cap on a Corolla?
2 Answers
There are two buttons under the driver's seat, one for opening the fuel tank and the other for opening the trunk. More related information is as follows: 1. Fuel tanks can be divided into open-type and closed-type tanks, which must have sufficient volume. To keep the oil clean, the tank should have a sealed cover plate with an air filter installed on it. The bottom of the tank should be at least 150mm above the ground. 2. The Corolla measures 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. This car features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension, and is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine.
In the Corolla, I find the fuel cap quite easy to operate. After getting in the car but before starting the engine, bend down and reach under the left side of the driver's seat. You'll feel a round pull ring or small handle—just gently pull it outward until you hear a click, indicating the fuel cap is unlocked. Then, exit the vehicle and press or lightly push the raised cover near the rear wheel on the side of the car to open it for refueling. Always remember to turn off the engine before refueling to avoid fire hazards. This keyless design in the Corolla is very convenient. With regular use, I've found it essential to periodically check if the pull cord is stuck. Also, don’t forget to lock the car doors while refueling to prevent unauthorized access to the fuel cap. The process is simple and intuitive—once you get used to it, you’ll never get lost.
