Where is the fuel filler cap of the Volkswagen Magotan opened?

The fuel filler cap of the Volkswagen Magotan is opened on the left door of the car by pulling the switch. Its body dimensions are: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm, a minimum ground clearance of 114mm, and a body weight of 1580kg. The Volkswagen Magotan is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed DCT transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 220PS, a maximum power of 162kW, a maximum power speed range of 4500 to 6200rpm, a maximum torque of 350Nm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1500 to 4400rpm.
I pondered this question right after I picked up my Magotan, and later found it incredibly simple. On the left side door panel near the driver's seat, just below the window control buttons at knee level, there's a small square button with a fuel tank icon. A gentle press produces a click sound, and the fuel filler flap pops open. When refueling, you still need to unscrew the inner black dust cap counterclockwise. Once after a car wash, the cap froze shut, so I tried pressing while twisting counterclockwise—once the ice melted, it opened. This design is much more convenient than the old key-operated system, plus the electronic switch automatically locks while driving to prevent fuel theft. Now refueling doesn’t require digging out keys—so hassle-free.
