2 Answers
Tiguan's fuel tank cap opening method: Locate the fuel tank cap button under the left side of the driver's seat, move the driver's seat backward, and you will see a lever on the car floor marked with a fuel symbol. Manually pull the lever and lift it upward to open the fuel tank cap. The fuel tank is a container on the car for holding fuel, and it is also a specialized container in the hydraulic system for storing hydraulic oil or hydraulic fluid. The Tiguan is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV under Shanghai Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, a wheelbase of 2684mm, a turbocharged intake form, a maximum horsepower of 160ps, a maximum torque of 250nm, and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
Opening the fuel tank cap of my Tiguan is a breeze for an experienced driver like me. The operation is smooth and straightforward. On the left side of the driver's seat, near the foot mat, there's a small plastic lever. Just give it a gentle pull, and you'll hear a click indicating it's unlocked. Then, step out to the fuel tank side and press the upper right or center of the cap with your hand—it pops right open, ready for refueling. After filling up, make sure to close the cap tightly until you hear a click confirming it's locked. If the lever occasionally gets stuck, don't force it; first check if it's linked to the door lock or try restarting the vehicle. During routine maintenance, I also wipe the mechanical parts with a dry cloth to prevent dust buildup and rust. Regular checks are essential—this way, it's been trouble-free for over a decade. A well-sealed fuel system ensures safety and prevents leaks.
