4 Answers
The method to open the fuel tank cap of the Vision X3: 1. Lift the fuel tank cap release handle located on the left side of the driver's dashboard upwards, and the fuel tank cap will pop open; 2. The tethered fuel filler cap is located inside the fuel tank cap, slowly turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise to remove it. The Vision X3 is a model launched by Geely in the AO-class compact SUV market, belonging to the Geely Vision product series, with a total of 5 configuration models available in 1.5L 5MT and 1.5L 4AT. The vehicle's body dimensions are 4005mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1575mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2480mm.
I've got experience with this! The fuel tank cap of the Geely Vision X3 is unlocked uniformly with the car doors, so there's no need to find a separate button to open it. First, make sure the car doors are unlocked, then walk to the fuel tank cap at the rear of the car, and simply press it gently towards the rear of the car. You'll hear a click when it opens—it's that easy! Normally, it will lock automatically when you lock the car, so no need to worry about fuel theft. If the edges of the fuel tank cap get dusty after rain, wipe them clean with a wet wipe before closing it to prevent the seal from aging. When washing the car, remember to rinse around the fuel tank opening as well—getting sand or mud stuck in the cap would be no fun!
I just helped a friend open the fuel tank cap of this car the other day and noticed a crucial detail: it must be opened when the central control unlocks the entire vehicle. Only after you press the door panel unlock button from the driver's seat will the fuel tank cap safety mechanism disengage. At this point, simply go to the fuel tank cap location and press firmly towards the right rear with your knuckle, and the metal clip will pop open. New drivers should avoid using hard objects to pry it, as the plastic edges can easily get scratched. Here's another tip for you: avoid getting oil stains on the label inside the fuel tank cap, as it may tear and make it difficult for the gas attendant to read the instructions. Also, remember not to overtighten the cap when temporarily stopping at a gas station, as the plastic threads are prone to stripping.
As a seasoned driver, I'd like to remind you that the fuel tank cap of the Vision X3 is designed to unlock in sync with the car. Don't force it open when the car is locked, as you might break the plastic latch. After unlocking, simply press the lower right corner of the cap to feel the elastic resistance. When closing the cap after refueling, make sure to hear three clicks to confirm it's securely locked—many people just close it once and leave, which can cause it to pop open due to bumps. For those who have upgraded to a metal fuel tank cap, note that the original latch slot is designed at a 45-degree angle. Installing an aftermarket part incorrectly may cause it to press against the trunk panel. Also, remember to dry the lock hole after washing your car in winter to prevent it from freezing.
