Where is the fuel button located in the Pajero?

The fuel button in the Pajero is located below the steering wheel with a fuel indicator symbol. Below is an introduction to the Pajero and fuel maintenance precautions: Pajero: The Pajero typically holds around 70 liters of fuel. Inside the fuel tank cap, there is a label indicating the recommended fuel grade. The choice of fuel grade is not determined by the vehicle's class but is essentially related to the engine. It is advisable to use the fuel grade recommended by the manufacturer. Precautions: The car engine should be cleaned at appropriate intervals. Prolonged use can lead to the formation of a thick layer of carbon deposits on the engine's surface, which can significantly corrode the rubber components inside the engine. Both gasoline and water must be prevented from evaporating. During summer, when temperatures are generally higher, gasoline and water evaporate more easily than usual. Therefore, it is essential to regularly check the radiator and fuel tank and promptly refill them when levels are low.
Actually, the fuel filler door release switch of the Pajero is located next to the driver's left leg, near the door sill. When I drove my friend's V93, I had to look for it - that small lever labeled with a fuel tank symbol is somewhat hidden and requires you to look down. However, the position might vary slightly across different model years, like the V97 where it might be relocated to the side of the center console. If you really can't find it, don't panic - you can simply turn off the engine and press the right side of the fuel filler door to open it directly. A reminder: always remember to turn off the engine and electronic devices before refueling. I once saw someone making phone calls while refueling, which was extremely dangerous.
I've worked on quite a few Pajeros during repairs. The fuel filler door release is located just below the driver's seat on the left side. When you bend down and feel along the floor, you'll find a plastic lever - a gentle pull will pop open the fuel cap. I remember one owner who modified their interior and accidentally blocked this mechanism, causing quite a panic during refueling. If the lever gets frozen in winter, don't force it - first tap the fuel cap a few times to loosen the ice. Oh, and always remember to turn off the engine and stereo when refueling - last time a customer drained their battery by leaving the audio system on.
