2 Answers
The method to open the fuel tank cap of the Ford Kuga is: 1. Locate the fuel tank cap release switch near the driver's seat, pull the switch once, and the fuel tank cap will pop open; 2. Turn the inner fuel tank cap counterclockwise to open it. Taking the 2019 Ford Kuga as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4525mm, width 1838mm, height 1685mm, wheelbase of 2690mm, fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, and curb weight of 1592kg. The 2019 Ford Kuga is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 182PS, maximum power of 134kW, maximum torque of 245Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Escape for three years now, so I'm quite familiar with the process of opening the fuel tank cap when refueling. First, park the car steadily and turn off the engine, then take the key to the fuel tank cap located in front of the right rear wheel. After unlocking the car with the remote key, the fuel tank cap lock automatically releases. Then, gently press the side of the cap until you hear a click, and it pops open. Remember, if it doesn't press down, check if the car doors are unlocked or if the key is too far away. Once the cap is open, unscrew the inner cap counterclockwise. After refueling, tighten the inner cap clockwise and simply press the outer cap back into place. This design is very user-friendly, unlike older cars where you had to find a lever. By the way, if it gets stuck due to freezing in winter, don't force it; gently tap the edges of the cap a few times to solve the problem.
