Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the Bora?

The Bora does not have an independent fuel tank cap switch. The fuel tank cap locks when the car doors are locked and unlocks when the car doors are opened. The fuel tank cap refers to the box on the car used to store gasoline. It is square in shape, made of stainless steel, and has excellent sealing. There is only a small circular opening, similar in size to a bottle cap, making it convenient for storage. It is usually located at the rear of the car. The front design of the Bora incorporates Volkswagen's new design language, integrating continuous lines into the front design. Precise and bold lines connect the headlights with the chrome-plated grille. The contour lines of the headlights are perfectly matched with the internal styling lines. The angular lines of the grille in the middle of the front face extend upward, leading to the extension lines of the engine hood, and then downward, outlining the angular lines of the lower bumper. The entire cluster of lines forms an X-shaped styling line.
I always remember the fuel tank cap switch in my Bora. On the driver's side, there's an inconspicuous lever near the door panel, or in some models, a button on the center console, usually designed to be quite hidden. Operating it is super simple: once you're seated, you can feel a small plastic lever near the door handle—just give it a gentle pull, and the fuel tank cap on the rear side will pop open automatically. If the car is locked, you'll need to unlock the doors first or press the remote key; some models even have a dedicated button on the key to solve the trouble of not finding the switch. The first time you use it, it might not feel obvious because the position is so discreet, so I recommend trying it after parking to avoid distractions while driving. If you're ever confused, check the vehicle manual—it has illustrated instructions, and this habit can also prevent safety hazards during refueling. Remember, regularly cleaning the switch to keep it working smoothly is important, as these small details affect daily convenience.
