Pull down the lever located below the handbrake release position. Here are specific details about Porsche: 1. Background: Porsche, also known as 'Bao Shi Jie' in Cantonese (Hong Kong dialect) or 'Bo Er She' in Mandarin, is a German automotive brand headquartered in Stuttgart. The company was founded by Ferdinand Porsche (commonly referred to as 'Senior Porsche'). The official Chinese name of Porsche AG is generally referred to as 'Bao Shi Jie Company'. 2. Birth of the Brand: Porsche's history dates back to 1900 when the first car bearing the Porsche name – the Lohner-Porsche – made its debut and caused a sensation. This two-seater sports car was designed by Ferdinand Porsche (then only 25 years old), who was employed as a designer at Lohner Works at the time.
When I used to drive a Porsche Cayenne, I often encountered this issue. Actually, opening the fuel filler cap is super simple. First, park the car and turn off the engine, making sure it's unlocked. Then, while sitting in the driver's seat, turn your head and look down at the inner side of the door—there's a small round button with a fuel pump icon on it. Just press it gently, and it will pop open automatically. Never try this while the car is still running, as the system will lock to prevent accidental operation. If the button doesn't respond, check if a fuse is blown or if there's poor contact with the switch. I had this happen once, and replacing a fuse fixed it. Porsche's design makes refueling convenient and theft-proof, feeling much more advanced than manually opening the cap. Remember, after refueling, the cap locks automatically—no need to close it manually.
