How to open the fuel tank of Chery Tiggo?
2 Answers
Chery Tiggo's fuel tank cover switch is located near the door on the left foot side. Move the foot mat aside to see the handle, and pull it upward to open. The trunk and fuel tank cover of the car can be remotely controlled from the driver's cabin, which brings great convenience to the owner. Common methods to open the fuel tank include the following: 1. Directly open the fuel tank cover through a handle (in the driver's cabin). 2. Use a button/switch on the main driver's cabin or the main driver's door side to open it with one click. 3. Open it remotely. 4. There is no mechanism, just press the fuel tank cover directly to open it.
I've been driving a Chery Tiggo for several years, and opening the fuel tank cap requires attention to detail. I remember one time when refueling, I couldn't open it no matter what, only to realize later that the car wasn't fully unlocked—you need to press the button on the door handle after unlocking it with the key remote. The fuel tank cap is usually located on the right rear fender. Simply press the front part of the circular cap with your hand, and it will pop open automatically, revealing the inner cap, which you then twist to refuel. Many beginners try to force it open right away, but the issue is often the car's lock status—the entire vehicle system must be unlocked, and the engine must be turned off for safe operation. If pressing doesn't work, it could be due to a stuck spring or winter freezing—don't pull forcefully. Instead, apply a warm cloth or gently wipe around the cap with a soft cloth. During regular maintenance, I keep the cap clean to prevent dust buildup and ensure both the inner and outer caps are tightly closed after refueling to maintain a proper seal. Always take your time with each step to avoid the risk of fuel leakage.
