Where is the fuel filler switch located on a Geely?

Geely fuel filler switch is located below the left side of the driver's seat. Fuel filling amount: Generally, filling until the nozzle automatically stops is sufficient. There's no need to manually add extra fuel to round up the amount. After refueling, remember to tighten the fuel cap until you hear a click sound before leaving. Checking the fuel gauge: Before driving, check the fuel gauge. Calculate whether you need to refuel during the trip based on the distance of your journey and the fuel gauge reading. It's advisable to refuel in advance rather than waiting until the fuel warning light comes on. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and operates at high temperatures during continuous use. Being submerged in fuel helps to cool it effectively. When the fuel warning light comes on, it indicates that the fuel level has dropped below the fuel pump. Consistently waiting until the light comes on to refuel can shorten the fuel pump's lifespan, and having too little fuel in the tank may even lead to fuel pump burnout. Best time to refuel: It's better to refuel in the morning or evening, avoiding the midday when the sun is strong and temperatures are high. Since gasoline is sold by volume rather than weight, and it expands with heat and contracts with cold, refueling in the morning or evening allows you to get more mass for the same volume of gasoline, resulting in savings.
When I used to drive a Geely Emgrand, the fuel filler release was conveniently located on the left side near the door by the driver's seat. There was a small lever on the floor marked with a fuel pump icon—just a quick pull would pop open the fuel tank cap, making it super hassle-free. The design was really thoughtful, and you had to turn off the engine before operating it—safety first. If you're new to the car and can't find it at first, don't panic—just feel around that corner a few times, and you'll get used to it quickly. I think this layout prevents accidental activation and also reduces dust buildup. Nowadays, newer Geely models might have upgraded to a button on the lower left of the dashboard, but the base versions still use the lever design. For daily driving, having it in a fixed, easy-to-find spot saves time and boosts efficiency—no need to get out of the car to refuel, which is perfect for busy days.
