Where is the fuel filler cap button on the Sagitar?

The fuel filler cap button of the Sagitar is located on the passenger side. To open the fuel filler cap, first turn off the engine, take the key out of the car, walk around to the fuel filler cap, and press it lightly. The fuel filler cap will pop open automatically. The Sagitar is a model under FAW-Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4544mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1461mm in height. In terms of appearance, the front face of the Sagitar maintains the unique style of the Volkswagen brand, with angular headlights and a wide front bumper adding a youthful and dynamic feel. The lower waistline on the side of the body adopts a concave design, forming a complete and integrated shape with the front and rear fenders, while the high waistline outlines precise body curves.
I remember my own Sagitar's fuel tank cap has a press-type switch without a dedicated button location. After unlocking the vehicle, simply pressing the edge of the fuel tank cap will pop it open. Older models might have a fuel tank cap lever at the lower left side of the driver's seat, requiring you to bend down to find it. The first time I drove a Sagitar, I was also confused, searching around the steering wheel for a button for a long time before realizing no button was needed at all. The new design is quite convenient now—just remember to click it shut tightly after refueling, otherwise, a fault light might come on. Don’t be like my friend who left the cap loose last time, driving for three days with the yellow warning light on the dashboard before realizing it, wasting a trip to the repair shop for nothing. Also, pay attention to the label inside the fuel filler cap—don’t fill a car designed for 92-octane with 95-octane fuel, as it can lead to more severe carbon buildup.
I've been driving my Sagitar for three years, and indeed, there's no button for the fuel filler cap. When the car is unlocked, you can simply press the outer side of the fuel cap to open it, which is much more convenient than a button. Don't panic if you can't find a physical button; that's just how the Sagitar is designed. Last time, I saw a driver at the gas station frantically slapping the fuel cap, only to realize the car wasn't unlocked. I recommend pressing the unlock button on the key fob or touching the door handle to unlock the car before refueling. Older models might have had a mechanical lever near the footwell, but that design is mostly obsolete now. By the way, remember not to overfill the tank—stop when the pump clicks off. Overfilling can cause gasoline to spill out and corrode the rubber seal. My neighbor had to replace the entire fuel cap assembly because of this.
