Where is the fuel filler switch of Roewe?
3 Answers
Roewe fuel filler switch is located at the lower left side of the main driver's steering wheel. There are two switches in this position, one is the fuel filler switch, and the other is the front hood switch. There is a spare fuel tank cap switch on the trunk of the car, which requires opening the left side of the car trunk. In this position, you can see a pull handle. After pulling this handle, the fuel tank cap can automatically pop open. Roewe is a car brand under Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation. Taking the Roewe 350 as an example, it is a compact sedan positioned in the A-class market launched by Shanghai Automotive after the Roewe 750 and Roewe 550. In terms of body size, its length, width, and height are 4521mm, 1788mm, and 1492mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2650mm.
I've been driving for many years and have driven quite a few Roewe models like the RX5 and i5. The fuel filler switch is usually located just below the driver's seat, near the brake pedal, as a small lever or button—just pull it to open the fuel tank cap. Some newer models like the eRX5 might use a button near the steering wheel for control. If you can't find it, check the dashboard indicator light first or refer to the vehicle manual for its location. Don’t fiddle with other components to avoid damaging the electrical system. Roewe owners know the switch design is quite user-friendly—it’s hard to trigger accidentally, making refueling quick and convenient. Safety first—never force it.
When I was commuting to work in my Roewe car, I realized that the fuel filler switch was quite hidden, tucked away in a small corner on the floor where my left foot could reach it, like an inconspicuous little lever. As a newbie, I foolishly spent a long time crawling around looking for it, thinking it would open with the key remote. It wasn't until I asked a colleague that I understood—Roewe's design is really thoughtful, with a reasonable position to prevent accidental touches. I suggest you try pulling the switch before getting in the car. Once you get used to it, a simple lift of your hand will do the trick. It's much simpler than those fancy smart buttons in high-end cars—practical and hassle-free.
