How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap of Tiggo 8?
2 Answers
Tiggo 8's fuel tank cap adopts a press-to-open mechanism. When the vehicle is unlocked, simply press the fuel tank cap to open it. Generally, there are three ways to open the fuel tank cap of a family car: using a key, an interior switch, or pressing directly. Details are as follows: 1. The mechanical key method is more complicated, so it is rarely used in family cars nowadays. This method is usually found in more rugged SUVs. 2. The interior switch method is more convenient compared to the mechanical key method. However, it can easily lead to refueling without turning off the engine, so owners need to be extra careful. 3. The direct press-to-open method requires no operation from the owner, allowing the gas station attendant to refuel directly. For vehicles with this type of fuel tank cap, owners must ensure to lock the car when parked. Otherwise, if the central control is not locked (similar to the trunk), the fuel tank cap can be opened, posing certain risks.
I found opening the fuel tank cap of the Tiggo 8 quite easy, and the steps aren't complicated. Sit in the driver's seat, look down near your left foot—there's usually a small lever or button with a fuel tank symbol. Gently pull or press it, and a click sound means the lock is released. Then, step out of the car and go to the fuel tank location, typically on the rear side of the body. Press the designated spot on the cap—some have arrow markings—give it a light push, and it will pop open. A quick twist will remove it for refueling. Always turn off the engine before refueling to avoid safety hazards, and ensure the cap is tightly secured afterward. Keep the cap's edges clean during regular use to prevent dust from clogging the latch. If it occasionally won’t open, check if the car doors are fully unlocked or if the switch mechanism is stuck—it’s a simple issue you can fix yourself.
