Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the Cayenne?

The fuel tank cap and door of the Cayenne share the same locking mechanism; simply press the fuel tank to open it. Below is an introduction to the Cayenne: Exterior Features: In terms of appearance, the Cayenne's headlights and grille maintain Porsche's traditional style. The car is 1940mm wide but only 1690mm tall, with a ground clearance of 273mm and a maximum approach angle of 32 degrees. The long-travel suspension springs enhance off-road performance, while the air suspension offers a 116mm adjustment range with six height settings, catering to both off-road and sports car needs—a unique feature of Porsche SUVs. Drivetrain: The Cayenne is equipped with Porsche's proprietary Traction Management System, the core of which is a full-time four-wheel-drive system with a lockable central differential.
While driving my Cayenne, I noticed the fuel filler door switch is quite hidden—newbies might miss it. It's tucked away on the driver's side door panel, among that row of buttons near the window controls on your left. There's a small button shaped like a fuel pump icon; just press it to pop open the cap. Porsche placed it there for easy access, so you won’t fumble around outside the car. Some mistakenly search the dashboard or glovebox, but those usually house fuses or storage. Pro tip: The car must be unlocked for the switch to work—it won’t respond when locked. If the button fails, it could be due to loose wiring or dirt buildup; try cleaning the contacts with a damp cloth. Super easy to locate—next refuel, test the spot and you’ll remember. Once used to it, it’s hassle-free.
