2 Answers
Method to open the fuel filler cap on the Lavida: Unlock the car using the key or central locking system, press the fuel tank flap to open it, then unscrew the fuel filler cap counterclockwise and hang it on the fuel tank flap. It is recommended to refuel when the fuel level drops to one quarter remaining. Avoid waiting until the low fuel warning light comes on, and never let the fuel gauge hit empty before refueling. The Lavida is a vehicle produced by SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 113ps and a maximum torque of 145nm.
As a Lavida owner, I frequently refuel, so I'm very familiar with this process. On most Lavida models, opening the fuel filler is straightforward: simply sit in the driver's seat, and near your left foot, you'll find a plastic lever, usually marked with a fuel pump icon. A gentle pull will produce a click sound, indicating the fuel tank cap is unlocked. Then, walk to the rear of the car, and the fuel filler cover on the left side will pop open automatically, allowing you to start refueling. If you're unsure about the lever's location, you can look down to check the floor area near the door; some newer versions might have a button under the dashboard, but my Lavida's lever works smoothly. When refueling, don't forget to unlock the car doors, as this ensures the fuel filler responds; if the lever doesn't move on the first try, it might be mechanically stuck—try gently pushing the cover or pulling the lever a few more times. Additionally, it's advisable to keep the lever area clean to prevent dust buildup from affecting its operation. These details make my daily driving experience more hassle-free.
