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.

When learning to drive, the instructor taught that the fuel tank switch positions vary greatly among different car brands. In recent years, Geely's new models have generally eliminated the separate refueling button. Last week, while helping a neighbor adjust the Binrui, I found that the fuel tank cover is controlled solely by the central locking system. After unlocking the driver's door, you can walk to the right rear side of the car and use your fingernail to press the groove on the edge of the fuel tank cover to open it. If you're driving a Haoyue with a physical switch, there's usually a small lever with a fuel pump icon above the left side of the driver's footwell—just pull it to pop the cover open. If you can't remember, check the manual; never force the cover open.

A seasoned driver who has driven five Geely models tells you: It depends on the model year. For older models like the King Kong and Free Cruiser, you need to bend down and pull the floor ring on the left side of the driver's seat. For the Emgrand series, there's a small lever hidden in the lower left trim panel of the steering wheel. Post-2020 models like the new Borui and ICON have eliminated the physical switch entirely—just press the right side of the fuel cap after unlocking the car to pop it open. Last week, while refueling a friend's Xingyue, I spent two awkward minutes at the gas station before realizing that you don't even need to press—the fuel cap automatically stays half-open when the car is unlocked, and a light lift opens it completely.

As an auto mechanic handling over a dozen Geely vehicles daily, fuel filler cap opening varies in three scenarios. The most common is electronically interlocked type: approach the vehicle with the key, then press the fuel flap to pop it open directly—exemplified by the Boyue PRO. Next is the mechanical cable-operated style: a T-shaped lever marked with a fuel pump icon above the driver’s footwell, as seen in the Emgrand GS. The most distinctive is the Geometry A, requiring first unlocking the charging port cover via the infotainment screen’s vehicle settings before manually opening the concealed fuel cap. Always check the arrow beside the fuel gauge on the instrument cluster before refueling—it points left for left-side tank filler.

Experience of driving a Geely for a 30,000-kilometer road trip: The fuel filler button is actually a pseudo-proposition. The latest models don't have a separate button at all, and the linkage between the fuel filler cap and the door lock is the most reasonable design. I remember driving the Bin Yue into Tibet last year, at a gas station 5,000 meters above sea level, with temperatures at minus 15 degrees Celsius, my hands were shaking from the cold. It would have been miserable if I had to bend down to look for a handle. Now, I'm used to simply tapping the fuel filler cap after unlocking the car, saving time and effort. For special models like the older Vision, there's a square plastic cover under the left side of the driver's seat; prying it open reveals a pull ring. It's recommended that new car owners stick a note on the steering wheel to mark its location.
