Where is the fuel tank cap switch for the Mercedes-Benz E300L?

The Mercedes-Benz E300L does not have a fuel tank cap switch; pressing on the cap itself will open it. Here is some related information: 1. Mercedes-Benz E300L: The Mercedes-Benz E300L is a model specifically designed for the Chinese market. Its extended wheelbase is tailored to meet the needs of domestic users, and its domestic production offers a more competitive price compared to the imported version. The new generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class has a wheelbase extended by 14cm. Overseas, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, with a length of 4868mm, features a wheelbase of 2874mm. 2. Fuel Tank: A fuel tank is a container for storing fuel, either in aircraft or automobiles, and is a specialized container in hydraulic systems for storing hydraulic oil or fluid. Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open tanks and closed tanks. The fuel tank must have a sufficiently large capacity; the suction pipe and return pipe should be inserted below the lowest liquid level to prevent air suction and splashing of returning oil, which can cause bubbles.
When driving the Mercedes-Benz E300L, the fuel tank cap switch is actually a common misconception. Many people think there's a button inside the car, but in fact, there's no manual switch at all! Mercedes' design is very smart—the fuel tank cap opens by pressing from the outside after unlocking with the remote key. The exact location is on the small panel near the rear wheel on the right side of the car (for left-hand drive vehicles). The operation is simple: after parking and turning off the engine, unlock the car with the remote key, then walk to the fuel tank cap position and gently press the center of the panel—it will pop open. This benefits from Mercedes' keyless entry system, eliminating unnecessary switches and making the car's lines smoother. The first time I drove this car to refuel, I made the same mistake—searching inside for a switch for a long time before realizing I could just press the outer cover. Remember, it automatically locks when the car is locked. If you can't open it, it's likely because the car isn't unlocked or a door isn't properly closed—just check these. This design reduces potential failure points, but during regular maintenance, it's also recommended to have a technician inspect the connecting parts to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation, extending its lifespan.
