Prado also adopts a mechanical lock. The fuel tank cap switch is located below the steering wheel. Press the fuel tank switch to open the fuel tank cap, which is located on the left side. After opening the fuel tank cap, you can refuel or adjust the fuel tank.
Opening the fuel tank cap on a Toyota Prado is actually quite simple. Here's how I do it every time I refuel: First, make sure the car is turned off and unlocked. Then, sit in the driver's seat and use your left foot to feel around the floor area near the door—there's a small lever with a fuel pump symbol. Give it a gentle pull, and you'll hear a click as the fuel tank cap pops open slightly. Step out of the car and press the outer side of the cap to open it fully. Some older models might have an emergency pull ring in the trunk as a backup. Remember not to force the lever when the car is locked, as it could damage the plastic handle. Also, before refueling, check around the fuel tank opening for dirt or small stones to prevent them from falling into the tank.
