Where is the emergency release cord for the Sagitar fuel tank cap?
1 Answers
The emergency release cord for the fuel tank cap is generally located inside the right-side trim cover of the trunk, appearing as a red plastic rope. Typically, there are three methods to open a car's fuel tank cap: press-to-open, switch button, and mechanical key. Here are the specific details: 1. Press-to-open: This is the simplest method. When the vehicle is unlocked, you can directly press the fuel tank cap with your hand to open it. Note that the fuel tank can only be opened when the car is unlocked; it remains inaccessible when the car is locked. This method is commonly found in German and American cars. 2. Switch button: This type of fuel tank cap is controlled by a switch button inside the car. The location of this switch varies among different car models. Generally, in economy cars, the switch is located on the floor to the left of the driver's seat. In more upscale vehicles, the switch is designed as an electronic button, placed either on the left front door panel or the center console, marked with a fuel pump icon, making it easy to identify with a little attention. This design is typically used in Japanese and Korean car models. 3. Mechanical key: This method is becoming increasingly unpopular due to the inconvenience of using a key to open the fuel tank cap. It involves directly using the key to unlock the cap. This design was more common in older American and French cars and is now rare, with only a few off-road vehicles still using it.
