Where is the fuel tank button on the Passat?

Passat fuel tank button is located diagonally below the handbrake, between the two front seats. Press it to open. The fuel tank capacity of the Passat is 70 liters. The Passat is a front-wheel-drive sedan powered by a water-cooled engine, with dimensions of 4870mm in length, 1834mm in width, and 1472mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2803mm. Compared to the current model, the US version of the Passat has noticeable changes in appearance: the engine hood features added muscular lines, the front grille adopts a mesh-style decoration, the internal structure of the headlight assembly has been adjusted with added light strip design, and the front bumper style has also been modified. For the rear, the US version Passat has an adjusted internal structure for the taillight assembly, with added chrome trim and reflectors on the rear bumper.
As a long-time Passat owner, I know the fuel tank button is located on the door panel to the left of the driver's seat, usually marked with a fuel tank icon. Just reach and pull it to easily open the fuel cap before refueling. I remember when I first got the car, it took me a while to discover its location. Actually, most Volkswagen models follow this design for convenient pre-exit operation. If the button becomes less responsive or the door accumulates too much dust causing the fuel cap to stick, I recommend regularly cleaning the switch area with a damp cloth to prevent rust from affecting functionality. Make it a habit to check for wire wear during refueling to ensure daily driving safety.
