How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap of Mitsubishi ASX?
2 Answers
There is a fuel tank switch lever located under the left side of the driver's seat in the Mitsubishi ASX. Lift the lever upwards to open the fuel tank cap. When opening the fuel tank cap, the Mitsubishi ASX generally requires an upward lifting motion, so be sure to apply moderate force and avoid excessive strength.
As an enthusiast who frequently tinkers with older cars, I have to say the method to open the fuel tank cap on the Mitsubishi ASX depends on the model year! Older models generally have two methods: the most common one is a small lever with a fuel tank icon located on the floor near the driver's seat, right where your left foot rests—just pull it directly. Newer models with smart keys are usually more convenient; simply press the right side of the fuel tank cap when the car is unlocked, and it will pop open. If it gets stuck, try having a passenger press the unlock button on the key fob multiple times from inside the car, or gently tap the fuel tank cap a few times before pressing it again. By the way, always remember to turn off the engine before refueling—I've seen people get scolded by gas station attendants for refueling with the engine running, which is quite dangerous. In winter, if it's frozen, never force it open; just use a hairdryer to warm it up for a few seconds, and the issue will be resolved.
