Method to open the fuel tank of a Jeep Compass: Lift the metal fuel tank cover, insert the key into the fuel tank cap, turn the key to the right to grip the fuel cap's rotating knob, then turn it to the left to open the fuel cap. Hang the plastic cord on the cap onto the hook of the metal cover. Generally, there are three ways to open the fuel tank cap for household cars: using a key, an interior switch, or direct pressing. The mechanical key method is more complicated, so it's rarely used in household cars nowadays. The more common method now is having an interior switch button, which is more convenient compared to the mechanical key method. The Jeep Compass is a young compact SUV in the Jeep family. In terms of body dimensions, the Jeep Compass measures 4448mm in length, 1812mm in width, and 1663mm in height.
I remember the first time I drove a Jeep Compass, figuring out how to open the fuel tank was quite interesting. After getting in the car, don't start the engine—just find the fuel tank icon button near the dashboard and press it to unlock the fuel cap. Then, get out of the car; the fuel cap is usually on the right side of the rear. Gently twist or lift it open by hand. Beginners might find it a bit complicated, but with a few tries, it becomes second nature. A reminder: before refueling, check if the cap is sealed properly to avoid fuel odors leaking out. In winter, if it's frozen, never force it open—use warm water to thaw it. Over time, you'll realize this design is quite user-friendly, preventing you from forgetting to close the cap or refueling while driving. Safety is more important than anything. In short, take your time and don't rush.
