The fuel tank cap switch on the old Suzuki Wagon R is located under the handbrake lever. Here is some information about the fuel tank cap: 1. Composition: The fuel tank cap refers to the container on the car used for storing gasoline. It is square in shape, made of stainless steel, and has excellent sealing. There is only a small circular opening, about the size of a bottle cap, for easy storage. 2. Opening method: After removing the inner lining panel, you can see the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap and the pull cable for remote operation. Simply pull the cable to open the fuel tank cap; if this doesn't work, you can press the movable part of the locking mechanism while continuously pulling the cable, and the fuel tank cap will open easily. Some car models have a dedicated switch on the locking mechanism; pressing this switch will open the fuel tank cap.
I drove an old Suzuki Wagon R for several years, and the fuel tank cap release was right on the floor near the driver's left foot. You just needed to lean slightly and look down to spot a small black handle – pull it and the fuel cap would pop open. This car is an old classic with a particularly simple and practical design, unlike newer models with all their buttons. If you can't find it, maybe the floor mat is too thick and blocking it, or the release cable has come loose – I remember mine once got stuck, but after lifting the mat and jiggling the cable a bit, it worked again. Don't panic if the release fails; first try gently pushing the small gap on the fuel cap with a tool to open it manually, but don't use too much force to avoid damaging the plastic parts. Always remember to turn off the engine when refueling – safety first. Regularly checking the release cable can extend its lifespan, as small issues in older cars can easily turn into bigger problems if not addressed promptly.
