Below are the location and method to open the fuel tank cap of the Volkswagen Tiguan: 1. There is a round button at the rear of the car. Press it firmly with your thumb, and the fuel tank cap will pop open automatically. 2. After opening the trunk normally, there is a protruding button on the right side. Press this button, and the fuel tank cap will pop open automatically. 3. There is a button with a fuel symbol on the door panel of the driver's seat. Flip it, and the fuel tank cap will pop open automatically. However, be sure to check for any obstacles on the side to avoid accidents. The Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with ESP body stability system, EBD electronic brake force distribution, and ASR traction control. The equipped front dual airbags and front side airbags can greatly ensure driving safety.
As someone who has driven a Tiguan for several years, I always remember the refueling process: first turn off the engine and engage the handbrake, then locate the small fuel tank icon button near the door frame on the driver's side, and press it gently to unlock the fuel cap. Walk to the fuel tank opening outside the car, and simply press the center of the cap to pop it open—it's very convenient. After refueling, when you close the cap, you'll hear a click indicating it's locked; otherwise, the dashboard might show a warning light. If it doesn't open, don't force it—check if the car is unlocked or the battery has enough power. In winter when there's frost, you can use a hairdryer to warm it up for a few minutes before trying again. Safety first: don't keep your phone in your pocket while refueling, stay away from cigarette butts, and developing these small habits can make driving more reassuring.
