The steps to open the fuel tank cap of Santana are: turn off the engine, remove the key, go to the fuel tank area, insert the key, turn the key a quarter turn to the right, twist the fuel tank cap to the left, and remove the key to open it. When closing the fuel tank cap, twist it to the right until you hear a "click" sound, indicating that the fuel tank cap is securely closed. Below is an introduction to the Santana car: 1. The Santana is a compact sedan produced by SAIC Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 447517061469mm. As of July 2019, the models available in the market are the 2019 and 2018 versions. 2.

In terms of power, the Santana has a maximum horsepower of 110, a maximum power of 81kw, and a maximum torque of 150N.m. 3. In terms of appearance, the Santana has undergone significant changes compared to the previous generation. It adopts the Volkswagen family design language, making it very appealing. The interior still follows the Volkswagen style, focusing on practicality, with the center console panel featuring real wood decoration to add a touch of luxury. The Santana has lower costs in terms of maintenance and fuel consumption, making it an excellent choice for those seeking value for money.

There are several scenarios for opening the fuel tank cap of a Santana. For the older classic Santana models, you need to use the key directly on the exterior to unlock the fuel tank cap—insert the key into the small round hole next to the fuel tank cap and twist it. For newer Santana models, the operation is usually done from the driver's seat. When seated, look down near your left foot on the floorboard, and you'll find a small button with a fuel pump icon—pressing it will pop open the fuel tank cap. For mid-range or higher trims with an interior unlocking function, simply unlock the car doors first, then press the fuel tank cap button. Important note: never open the fuel tank cap while the engine is running; always turn off the engine for safety. If you can't locate the button, there's also an emergency pull cord on the side of the trunk as a backup.

Last time I drove my friend's old Santana, I almost couldn't figure out the fuel tank cap. That model didn't even have a button in the cabin. The car key had a separate small key piece. You had to walk around to the rear fuel tank cap position, find the round cover with a keyhole, and twist open the lock to refuel. The new Santana is much more convenient—you can operate it without getting out of the car. Near the driver's seat, where your left leg rests against the door, below the air vent, there's a button with a fuel pump symbol. Press it, and you'll hear a click. If the button doesn't respond, the central locking might be engaged, so you'll need to unlock the doors first. The new design is indeed hassle-free, but remember to turn off the engine when refueling.

The method to open the fuel tank cap of a Santana depends on the specific model. For older Santana models, there is a separate small key attached to the main key. Insert it into the keyhole on the fuel tank cap and turn it 90 degrees to open. Newer Santana models have mostly phased out this design. Instead, there is a round button at the front of the driver's door panel storage compartment, which can be easily felt by hand. Press it, and the fuel tank cap will pop open slightly, allowing you to lift the outer cover manually. When refueling, be careful not to break the plastic strap inside the cap, as it is designed to prevent loss. If the cap gets stuck, check if the car door lock is in the unlocked state.
