Where is the fuel tank cap release for the Jeep Grand Commander?
1 Answers
The fuel tank cap release for the Jeep Grand Commander is located inside the vehicle. Following the manufacturer's convention, it utilizes a mechanical lock system, where the fuel tank cap is opened by triggering a mechanical switch. In-vehicle switch type: Currently, the more common method is having a switch button inside the vehicle, which is more convenient compared to using a mechanical key. This method has been widely adopted in fueling vehicles for quite some time. However, it can also easily lead to situations where fueling occurs without turning off the engine, so vehicle owners need to be extra cautious. Similar to the in-vehicle switch is the in-vehicle lever, which is usually located in the same position as the trunk lever mentioned earlier. Generally, it is situated on the left side of the front passenger seat. Direct press type: Additionally, there is a direct press-to-open method, which is the most convenient among the three types of fuel tank cap opening mechanisms. It requires no operation from the vehicle owner, allowing the fuel attendant to refuel directly. For vehicles equipped with this type of fuel tank cap mechanism, owners must ensure to lock the vehicle when parked. Otherwise, if the central locking system is not engaged (similar to the trunk), the fuel tank cap can be opened, posing certain risks.
