How to open the fuel tank of Mercedes-Benz GLC260?

The Mercedes-Benz GLC does not have a fuel tank button switch. Simply press the fuel tank cap when the vehicle is unlocked to open it, then unscrew the inner cap to refuel. To close, reverse these steps. More related information is as follows: 1. The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLC is 66L, and the fuel filler is located on the right rear side of the vehicle. For refueling, the recommended fuel grade for the GLC is 95#. Regarding fuel consumption, the official MIIT combined fuel consumption figures for the 200, 260, and 300 models are 7.2L/100km, 7.3L/100km, and 7.6L/100km, respectively. Based on feedback from many owners and tests, the GLC's fuel consumption can exceed 8.8L/100km. Of course, fuel consumption varies depending on driving style, break-in period, road conditions, ambient temperature, and other factors. 2. The Mercedes-Benz GLC can essentially be seen as the coupe version of the GLK. The main reason the GLC wasn't introduced until 2016 is that it was developed based on the new-generation GLK, which provides the GLC with more platform advantages, such as lighter weight, more modular components, etc., thereby reducing model development costs. Additionally, the Mercedes-Benz GLC will be available in both two-wheel drive and 4Matic four-wheel drive configurations.
I've been driving the Mercedes-Benz GLC260 for a while, and the fuel tank opening mechanism is quite straightforward, mainly operated from inside the car. When seated in the driver's position, there's a button near the left door or on the center console panel with a fuel pump icon or key symbol – pressing it unlocks the fuel tank cap. Then, walk to the fuel tank cap on the outside of the car and give it a gentle push to pop it open. Remember, the vehicle must be in the unlocked state before operation, and typically, you need to turn off the engine for the button to work. The advantage of Mercedes' electronically controlled design is enhanced safety, avoiding the hassle of forgetting to close the cap during refueling. Unlike other brands I've driven with manual caps that are easy to forget, this system is much more worry-free. Don’t forget basic safety rules when refueling, such as turning off the engine before fueling and not smoking, which helps prevent accidents. Regularly checking the fuel tank cap’s seal is also a good habit that can improve the car's overall performance.
