Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the Audi Q5?

Audi Q5 fuel tank cap switch is located on the cover above the right rear wheel. Press it once when the central control is activated to open it. Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open tanks and closed tanks. The fuel tank must have sufficient capacity. To maintain oil cleanliness, the tank should have a sealed cover plate with an air filter installed on it. The Audi Q5 is a mid-size SUV under FAW-Volkswagen Audi. The vehicle has a length, width, and height of 4629mm, 1898mm, and 1655mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2807mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a top speed of 230 km/h.
As a seasoned Q5 driver with years of experience, I find the fuel filler flap operation quite straightforward. When you stand beside the vehicle, the fuel filler cap is typically located on the side of the car body. After unlocking the doors, simply press lightly on the flap to open it—there's no separate button switch, a design choice that eliminates unnecessary hassle. Before refueling, I always ensure the entire vehicle is unlocked, either via the key or central locking button. If the flap doesn’t pop open, double-check whether the door locks are truly disengaged—it might indicate a locking mechanism issue. Note that the fuel cap automatically locks when the car is secured, which is a decent anti-theft feature. Regularly cleaning dirt around the flap edges also prevents jamming. In summary, the operation is simple, but developing good habits ensures safe refueling.
