I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz E-Class for several years, and opening the fuel tank cap is quite intuitive. Just look for a button with a fuel tank symbol near the lower left corner of the steering wheel or around the dashboard, then press it gently. If the car is locked, you'll need to press the unlock button on the key fob or the door first, otherwise the button won't work. This electronic design is a signature feature of Mercedes-Benz, eliminating the hassle of traditional key locks—it's secure and prevents mistakes during refueling. The first time I drove it, I had no experience and spent some time searching. Later, the manual mentioned that the button's location might vary depending on the model year, with older models possibly having it on the door pillar. If pressing it doesn’t work, check if the doors are truly unlocked or if a blown fuse might be causing the system to malfunction. Overall, this operation is quick to master, and once you're used to it, it’s smooth and convenient—no need to get out of the car, saving time and hassle, perfect for daily drivers like us.
