Where is the fuel tank cap switch of Santana located?
2 Answers
The fuel tank cap switch of Santana is located on the right rear side of the car. Simply press the unlock button on the key or the unlock button on the central control, then press the fuel tank cap to open it. The function of the fuel tank cap is to record the car model, fuel type, standard tire pressure range, and precautions. Taking the 2021 manual basic version Santana as an example, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a composite torsion beam non-independent suspension, the body dimensions are: 4475mm in length, 1706mm in width, 1469mm in height, the wheelbase is 2603mm, the fuel tank capacity is 52.8 liters, and the trunk capacity is 466 liters.
Having driven a Santana for many years, I've noticed that the fuel tank cap switch is usually located near the left side of the driver's footwell area. There's a small lever or button there—just pull or press it to pop open the fuel tank cap. My first Santana was designed this way, simple and easy to locate. If you crouch down to look, you'll spot a small handle tucked away discreetly, but operating it isn't difficult. Sometimes dust buildup can cause it to stick, so remember to wipe it with a towel. Regularly checking its smooth operation is important to avoid mishaps during refueling. Additionally, newer models might relocate it to the dashboard or integrate it with the key, but older versions typically have it here. Safety comes first when driving—ensuring the fuel tank cap is securely closed before hitting the road can save a lot of trouble.
