Where is the emergency release cable for the Sagitar fuel tank cap?

When the vehicle is unlocked, simply press the fuel tank cap with your hand to open it. The location of this switch varies across different car models. Generally, in economy cars, the switch is located on the floor to the left of the driver's seat. Alternatively, you can directly use the key to unlock the fuel tank cap. This design was more common in older American and French cars but is now rarely seen.
I've been driving the Sagitar for over three years now and have encountered the embarrassing situation where the fuel tank lid wouldn't open. The emergency release cable is actually located inside the trunk. To be more specific, you need to look in the left side area of the trunk, lift up the carpet panel, and you'll find a small plastic pull ring that usually matches the interior color, making it hard to miss. This design is meant to address electronic lock failures, such as when the key battery dies or there's a central control malfunction. It's important to make a habit of checking its location regularly to avoid panicking at gas stations. I recommend emptying the trunk every quarter, clearing out clutter, and testing the pull ring's operation for smoothness, spraying some lubricant to maintain and extend its lifespan. Additionally, the Sagitar's fuel tank lid features an electronically controlled design, so keeping an eye on your car battery's condition can also help reduce unexpected incidents. Remember the location - the emergency release cable is there, simple and practical to operate, essential knowledge for every driver.
