Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the Ford Edge?

The fuel tank cap switch on the Ford Edge is located on the fuel tank cap itself. When the vehicle is unlocked, simply press the fuel tank cap to open it. The Ford Edge is a 5-door, 5-seater midsize SUV with body dimensions of 4680mm in length, 1930mm in width, 1700mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2824mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 180 kW and a maximum torque of 390 Nm. The vehicle features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension utilizing multi-link independent suspension.
I remember when I was driving the Ford Edge, I couldn't find the fuel tank cap switch at first, but later discovered that small button on the lower part of the driver's side door panel, right near the door handle. Once you're seated in the car, just look down near your left foot and you'll feel it—press it and the fuel cap will pop open. This design is probably meant for convenience so you don't have to get out of the car when refueling, and many Ford models are similar. If it's an older model, the switch might be a bit hidden, while newer ones are more visible. I recommend always turning off the engine before refueling to avoid issues with fuel tank pressure. Also, check the switch regularly for looseness—over time, the button might get stuck, in which case a bit of lubricant spray can help. If you can't find it, don't panic—check the owner's manual first or ask a friend for help, since safety comes first. I've seen people at gas stations try to pry it open forcefully, only to break the cap and waste money on repairs—totally not worth it.
