How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap of the Mazda 3 Axela?
2 Answers
The switch for the fuel tank cap of the Mazda 3 Axela is located on the driver's side door, marked with a fuel pump icon. Simply press it to open the fuel tank cap. Below are detailed descriptions about the Axela's fuel tank cap: 1. Mazda 3 Axela: The Mazda 3 Axela is a car produced by Changan Mazda, featuring the new-generation 'Skyactiv' technology and the 'KODO—Soul of Motion' design theme as the third model in the series. 2. Fuel Tank Cap: The fuel tank cap refers to the container on a car used for storing gasoline. It is square-shaped, made of stainless steel, and has excellent sealing performance. It is typically located at the rear of the vehicle.
As a new Mazda3 (Axela) owner, I also didn't know how to open the fuel tank cap during my first refueling. Later I learned the method is quite simple: Inside the car, near the floor on the driver's side, there's a small lever or button - just pull it and the fuel filler door will pop open automatically. Then exit the vehicle and manually unscrew the plastic cap. But remember, always turn off the engine and ensure safety first before operation. I find this design quite convenient, though easy to overlook, especially for beginners who might mistakenly try opening it from outside and waste effort. Additionally, regularly check the lever's flexibility during maintenance to prevent jamming; if it's stuck, don't force it - try applying some lubricant spray. Periodic cleaning of the fuel cap's sealing ring is also crucial to avoid fuel leaks or dust accumulation that could affect vehicle performance.
