Methods to open the fuel tank cap of the Volkswagen Lavida Hatchback: 1. Press the central locking button on the door to unlock the fuel tank cap; 2. Press the fuel tank cap by hand to open it. The Volkswagen Lavida Hatchback is a compact car under SAIC Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4445mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1485mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. It features a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback body structure. The Volkswagen Lavida Hatchback is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, a 1.4L turbocharged engine, and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, a 5-speed manual transmission, and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I remember when I first drove the Volkswagen Lavida, not being able to open the fuel tank cap was really frustrating. Now I've got the hang of it: First, sit in the driver's seat, and near the floor on the left side by the door, there's a small black lever. No need to bend over too much—it's right near your heel. Gently pull it with your hand, and when you hear a click, the outer cap is unlocked. Then get out of the car—the fuel tank cap is on the right side above the rear wheel—just lift it open. This design prevents accidental openings. Every time I refuel, I casually check the cap's seal to keep dust out of the tank. When cleaning, I spray a bit of WD-40 to lubricate the lever, so it doesn’t stick in winter. Once you get into the habit, driving becomes much more worry-free.
