First, enter the driver's seat and then turn off the car. After the car is turned off, shift into the parking gear and then take the key out of the car. Walk to the driver's side of the car, which is the left side, and the fuel tank cap is located there. After approaching the fuel tank cap, gently press the fuel tank cap with your hand, and you will hear a pop sound, and the fuel tank cap will automatically pop open. If you want to refuel, you can proceed to do so. Except for refueling, please do not make any modifications to the fuel tank, otherwise, it may easily cause problems.
I remember when I first got my Geely car, I was also looking for the fuel tank cap switch, which was quite confusing. Usually, the switch is located on the inner side of the driver's door, near the sill, with a small fuel tank icon or a label that says 'Fuel Tank.' Just pull that lever gently, and the cap will pop open automatically, which is quite convenient. For some newer Geely models, like the Boyue or Xingrui, there might be a button under the steering wheel or on the center console that you need to press to open it. If it doesn't open, remember to check if the car doors are unlocked, as the cap won't open when the car is locked. It's best to turn off the engine before refueling to avoid any risks. I also recommend occasionally wiping the switch area to prevent dust buildup from causing it to jam. Additionally, if the lever feels too loose or unresponsive, it might be due to aging cables or a fuse issue, and you should take it to a shop for repair.
Having driven Geely cars for many years, I've noticed that the fuel tank lid switch is typically located on the inner side of the driver's door or near the door sill, with clear markings for identification. The operation is very simple: just gently pull the lever with your finger until you hear a click, and the lid will open immediately. Some models like the Emgrand may have a dedicated button in the control area next to the seat. If you encounter difficulty opening the lid while refueling, avoid forcing it; first, ensure the car key is within the sensing range or that the doors are unlocked. Additionally, for maintenance, I make it a habit to check the switch cable once a year to ensure it moves smoothly, and I apply some lubricant to prevent rust and jamming. Over time, paying attention to these small details can save you from inconveniences, such as being stuck during refueling, which could disrupt your trip.
I usually repair my car myself and know that the Geely fuel tank cap switch is mainly located on the door or door sill. Pull the lever gently to open the cap—avoid using excessive force. If it doesn't open, it might be due to a loose wire or a blown fuse; don't force it. It's recommended to clean the switch regularly to prevent clogging and always turn off the engine when refueling.
