Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the Bora?

The Bora's fuel tank cap does not have an independent locking switch. When the car doors are locked, the fuel tank cap is also locked; when the doors are unlocked, the fuel tank cap opens. More information about the Bora is as follows: 1. The Bora uses two types of engines, one is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. 2. The Bora has a wheelbase of 2614 mm, with length, width, and height dimensions of 4562 mm, 1793 mm, and 1468 mm respectively. 5. The front suspension of the Bora uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
In my Bora, the fuel tank cap release switch is located just below the driver's seat, at the corner of the door panel. It took me a while to find it when I first bought the car – it's a small plastic lever, usually marked with a fuel pump icon. Just reach down and you'll feel it; a gentle pull will pop open the fuel filler flap. I must say the positioning is quite convenient as it prevents distraction from searching the dashboard while driving. However, I've forgotten to close it properly a few times, resulting in fuel odors entering the cabin – a reminder to always check if it's securely locked after refueling. In winter, the switch might get stiff; applying some lubricant can prevent jamming. If the switch fails, it's often due to poor wire contact; you can either inspect it yourself or visit a repair shop. Remember to turn off the engine when refueling – safety first. These small details become second nature with experience; the more you drive, the more you'll figure things out naturally.
