How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap of Volkswagen Passat?
2 Answers
The method to open the fuel tank cap of Volkswagen Passat is: 1. Locate the fuel tank cap switch on the lower left side of the driver's seat; 2. Pull up the fuel tank cap switch to open the fuel tank cap. The Volkswagen Passat is a mid-size car under SAIC Volkswagen. Taking the 2020 Volkswagen Passat as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4933 mm, width 1836 mm, height 1469 mm, wheelbase 2871 mm, fuel tank capacity 68.5 liters, and trunk capacity 521 liters. The 2020 Volkswagen Passat is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, paired with a dual-clutch transmission.
The other day I drove my friend's Passat to refuel, but couldn't find the fuel tank cap switch for the life of me. They laughed at me for being old-fashioned. Later I learned that the new Passat models don't even use mechanical keys for the fuel cap anymore. When you sit in the driver's seat, feel along the left side near your leg - there's a button with a fuel tank symbol under the center console. Here's the key point - the car must be unlocked for the button to work! When you press it, you'll hear a 'pop' sound as the fuel cap releases. If nothing happens when pressed, first check if the key fob is within detection range, then try locking and unlocking the car again. This design is so much more convenient than older cars - no more fumbling for keyholes in the rain!
