Where is the fuel filler button on a Geely?

For the Geely Emgrand GS, simply unlock the car doors. Press the fuel filler cap lightly and it will pop open automatically. There are three main ways to open the fuel filler cap on the Emgrand GS: 1. Mechanical key opening: Generally, the methods for opening a fuel filler cap in household cars include using a key, an interior switch, or direct pressing. The mechanical key method is more complicated, so few household cars use this method nowadays. 2. Interior switch method: More commonly seen now is the interior switch button method, which is more convenient compared to the mechanical key method. It was widely used in fuel trucks long ago, but it can also lead to refueling without turning off the engine, so owners need to be extra careful. 3. Direct pressing method: Additionally, there is a direct pressing method to open the fuel filler cap. This is the most convenient among the three methods, requiring no action from the owner, as the fuel attendant can refuel directly. Cars with this type of fuel filler cap opening method require the owner to ensure the car is locked when parked. Otherwise, if the central locking is not engaged (similar to the trunk), the fuel filler cap can be opened, posing a certain risk.
The other day, I rode in my friend's newly purchased Geely Boyue and couldn't find the fuel tank button for the longest time. My friend smiled and pointed at the door unlock button—turns out most current Geely models use a linked design where you can simply press the fuel filler flap to open it when the vehicle is unlocked. Like my old Emgrand GL, you indeed needed to pull the lever under the driver's seat first. But now with newer models like the Xingyue L and Binyue, even the lever is eliminated—just give the side of the fuel filler flap a gentle push after unlocking. I recommend checking if there's a small triangular indicator on the fuel filler flap—the direction the tip points to shows which side the fuel filler is on, which is much more convenient than memorizing button locations.
