How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap of Mazda 3 Axela?

[VonAustin]

The switch for the Mazda 3 Axela's fuel tank cap is located on the driver's door, marked with a fuel pump icon. Simply press it to open the fuel tank cap. On the dashboard, there is a small arrow next to the fuel gauge. If the arrow points left, the fuel tank cap is on the left side; if it points right, the cap is on the right. Here is an introduction to three common methods of opening a car's fuel tank cap: 1. Mechanical Key Method: This method is less common and typically used in some rugged off-road vehicles. Most family cars do not use a mechanical key to open the fuel tank cap due to its relative complexity. 2. In-Car Switch Method: This is currently the most common way to open the fuel tank door, offering more convenience compared to the key method. The switch's location varies by model—some are on the floor near the driver's seat, others on the left front door panel or the center console, all marked with a fuel pump icon. 3. Press-to-Open Method: The press-to-open method is the most convenient. Simply park the car and refuel directly. However, if refueling while not parked, ensure the central locking is engaged; otherwise, the fuel tank cap can be opened.
