The fuel filler cap switch on a Land Rover Range Rover is located next to the left front sill. Taking the 2020 Land Rover Range Rover as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5000mm, width 2073mm, height 1869mm, wheelbase 2922mm, and minimum ground clearance 220mm. The 2020 Land Rover Range Rover is a mid-to-large-sized SUV, equipped with a 3.0T inline 6-cylinder mechanical plus turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 360PS, maximum torque of 495Nm, and maximum power of 260kW. It features a full-time four-wheel drive system and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I remember a few years ago when I first drove my Range Rover, I had no idea where the fuel tank cap switch was. Later, I found it on the door panel to the left of the driver's seat—an inconspicuous little button that pops open the fuel cap when pressed. This design is very convenient, allowing operation without leaving the car, reflecting Range Rover's pursuit of practicality. If the switch doesn't work while driving, it might be due to a blown fuse or an electrical fault, requiring a check at the 4S shop. By the way, older models might have slightly different positions, but newer ones are generally in that area, right next to the keyhole. Don't waste time searching blindly like I did back then—just sit in and glance at the door panel.
To open the fuel tank cap of your Range Rover, first sit in the driver's seat and locate the button near the left door handle, usually a small switch with a fuel pump icon. A gentle press will unlock the cap. If there's no response, check the manual for the fuse box location or manually pry open the emergency switch in the trunk. This design is quite intelligent, preventing accidental operation while driving. Remember to park and remove the key for safety before refueling. My friend initially thought it was remote-controlled but figured it out after some exploration. Regular maintenance and checking the wiring can prevent such malfunctions.
