Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the Jetta?

The Jetta fuel tank cap does not have a switch. You can simply pry it open at the fuel tank cap location. The fuel tank cap is the box on the car used to store gasoline. Taking the 2021 Jetta VS5 280TSI Manual Base model as an example: it is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV under FAW-Volkswagen Jetta, equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and a fuel tank capacity of 51L. The dimensions of the 2021 Jetta VS5 280TSI Manual Base model are 4419mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1616mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm. The engine has a maximum power of 110 kW, with the maximum power speed ranging from 5000 to 6000 rpm.
I remember my old Jetta had a fuel tank cap switch that was super easy to locate. Just open the car door, sit inside, and look down toward the left leg area near the carpet—there's a small lever or button, just pull it effortlessly. The placement is quite user-friendly, typically under the driver's side door panel, close to the seat leg rest. If you've just switched cars and can't find it, don't worry—check the owner's manual first. Designs may vary slightly by model, but most Volkswagen vehicles follow this setup. Always remember to park and turn off the engine before refueling—make it a habit, safety first. Another tip: don’t pull the switch too hard; if it feels stuck, just clean off the dust.
