Where is the fuel filler cap switch on the Touareg?

The Touareg does not have a separate fuel filler cap switch. When the central locking system is unlocked, you can open the fuel filler cap by pressing it. If the central locking system is locked, the fuel filler cap cannot be opened. Most models under Volkswagen and Audi are set up this way. Below is some relevant information about the Touareg: 1. Powertrain: The Touareg is a mid-to-large-size SUV under Volkswagen, equipped with three types of engines: a low-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, a high-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, and a 2.5L V6 turbocharged engine. The low-power 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 186 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm, the high-power 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 220 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and the 2.5L V6 turbocharged engine delivers 299 horsepower and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. All three engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which offers fast gear shifts and high transmission efficiency. 2. Suspension: The Touareg features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The multi-link independent suspension enhances the wheel's ground contact performance, thereby improving traction.
Last time I drove my friend's Touareg to refuel, I couldn't find the fuel tank cap switch. It wasn't until I drove to the gas station myself that I discovered the trick. The Touareg's fuel tank cap actually doesn't require a separate switch button—the design is quite clever. After you shift the car into P (Park) and come to a complete stop, simply walk to the fuel tank cap located near the rear right wheel, and press it gently toward the rear of the car to pop it open. The key point is that the car doors must be unlocked; if all four doors are locked, the fuel tank cap won't open either. After refueling, press it back until you hear a click, and it will automatically lock when the car starts moving. I've personally witnessed the awkward scene of first-time drivers circling the car at the gas station looking for the switch—twice.
