Where is the fuel filler switch on a Land Rover?

Land Rover's fuel filler switch is located next to the left front sill. If you can't find it, removing the floor mat may make it easier to see. Additionally, the fuel tank cap on this vehicle is of the direct-press type—simply press the fuel tank cap when the vehicle is unlocked, and it will pop open automatically. The fuel tank location may vary depending on the model. A useful tip is to first familiarize yourself with the fuel filler symbol and then look for its position on the vehicle. Land Rover is a British luxury all-terrain SUV brand founded by Maurice Wilkes and currently owned by India's Tata Motors. Land Rover now has three main product families: the Range Rover series, the Discovery series, and the Defender series.
I'm a Land Rover owner, and on my Discovery Sport, the fuel filler release button is located on the door panel to the left of the driver's seat—it's a small round button. A gentle press automatically opens the fuel cap, which is incredibly convenient, especially during rainy days or nighttime refueling when you don’t need to step out. The manual clearly indicates its location at purchase, though it may vary slightly by model—for instance, the Range Rover operates it via the central touchscreen. If you’ve just acquired one, taking time to familiarize yourself with the interior layout can save hassle later. After regular use, I find the design quite user-friendly.
