Where is the fuel filler switch on the Lavida?
2 Answers
The Lavida does not have a fuel filler switch. To refuel, simply press the left side of the fuel filler cap, and it will automatically pop open. After refueling, press it back into place. When refueling, ensure the fuel is directed into the filler neck to prevent spillage or splashing, which could lead to fire hazards or personal injury. The Lavida measures 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. It features front-wheel drive, a MacPherson strut front suspension, and a torsion beam rear suspension. The in-car navigation system combines touch screen and rotary knob controls, includes MP3 playback, and supports USB, AUX, and SD card slots for easy and powerful functionality. The LCD screen features a foldable design.
Last time I helped a friend find the fuel filler switch on the Lavida, I noticed the design varies by model year. In older Lavida models, the fuel tank switch is located near the driver's left foot, above the floor mat – there's a plastic lever with a fuel tank symbol that you pull to open. For post-2018 new Lavida models, the switch is integrated into the central locking system: simply unlock the car, walk to the rear, and press the right side of the fuel filler flap to pop it open. A handy tip: if you can't find it temporarily, press the unlock button on the remote key, and the fuel filler flap will unlock simultaneously with the doors. I tried this with my brother's 2020 Lavida recently – it's more convenient than the old version. Now only the trunk release remains on the door panel, while the dedicated fuel filler switch has been eliminated.
