Where is the fuel filler switch on the MG6?

The MG6 does not have a fuel filler switch. Press the unlock button on the remote control twice, then press the fuel filler opening with your hand, and the cover will automatically pop out. After refueling, simply press it back into place. The fuel filler cap of the MG6 is located on the left rear side of the vehicle, and the fuel filler cap lock is connected to the central locking system. With the door locks unlocked, press the right side of the fuel filler cap to open it. Slowly rotate the fuel filler cap counterclockwise to remove it. After refueling, reinstall the fuel filler cap and tighten it until you hear three "click" sounds. The MG6 is a compact car from SAIC Motor, equipped with a 1.5T 181 horsepower L4 engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. The engine has a maximum power of 133kW and a maximum torque of 285Nm.
Oh, I was confused when I first bought my car too. Later, I found out that the fuel filler switch of the MG6 is hidden on the floor near the door by your left foot when you're in the driver's seat—there's a small lever there. Just give it a gentle pull to open the fuel cap. The placement is really thoughtful; you don't have to turn your head to look for a button on the dashboard. The first time I refueled, I didn't turn off the engine, and it wasn't until a friend reminded me that I realized the danger—refueling with the engine running could cause an explosion. Now, it's become a habit: park, turn off the engine, then pull the switch—safe and worry-free. After driving for a while, I noticed many modern cars are designed this way to keep the driver from getting distracted and to focus on driving. Newbie friends, try this spot, and you'll get the hang of it instantly.
Having driven the MG6 for several years, I'm very familiar with the fuel filler switch: it's conveniently located on the floor near the driver's seat, by the door side. Just a simple flip of the lever does the trick. Why place it here? The designers thought it through – positioning it low minimizes accidental contact, and the driver can operate it while seated during refueling, unlike some cars where the switch is on the seat side requiring bending over. Every time I refuel, I always turn off the engine before opening the cap, a small detail that prevents accidents. Some older models still require a key, but the MG6's electric unlock is much more convenient. Even during routine maintenance, it's important to watch for dust buildup on the switch; occasional cleaning keeps it operating smoothly and extends its lifespan. In short, the placement is practical, and regular maintenance is equally crucial.
The fuel filler switch is located on the left side of the driver's seat, with a small pull panel underneath. I often drive my kids around, and I can easily find it when refueling. It's positioned close to the ground, so you can just reach down and flip it open to access the fuel tank cap. Remember to turn off the engine before refueling to avoid accidents. The design is quite smart—placing it low prevents kids from tampering with it. I usually wipe that area when washing the car to keep it clean and easy to operate. Simple and hassle-free.
