Where is the fuel tank cap opened on the Tiguan L?

The opening method of the Tiguan L fuel tank cap is: 1. There is a round button at the rear of the car, press it firmly downward with your thumb; 2. The fuel tank cap of the Volkswagen Tiguan will automatically pop open; 3. After the rear trunk is normally opened, there is a protruding button on the right side, press this button; 4. There is a button with a fuel refill symbol on the door panel of the driver's seat, just flip it. During daily use, you may encounter situations where the car's fuel tank cap cannot be opened. This is mostly due to the fuel tank cap being blocked by foreign objects or lack of lubrication. Simply clean or lubricate it to resolve the issue. The Tiguan L uses the EA888 engine. The EA888 engine is a newly designed engine by Volkswagen, integrating a series of advanced technologies such as direct fuel injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing, achieving a balance between power and economic environmental protection.
I've been driving the Tiguan L for several years and noticed that the fuel tank cap is particularly easy to open. There's a small lever or button inside the door panel on the driver's side—just pull or press it, and the cap pops open. This design is quite safe, preventing fuel theft by outsiders. If you need to refuel while driving, just feel around the left door trim panel—you'll definitely find it, but remember the car must be unlocked to operate it. If it doesn't respond, don't worry; there's an emergency release cord near the spare tire in the trunk—just pull it. Regularly clean that area during maintenance to avoid rust and jamming. Overall, the Tiguan L is quite user-friendly in this aspect. Several Volkswagen models I've driven share this design, and it becomes second nature once you're used to it.
