Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the Mercedes-Benz V260?

On the right side of the vehicle body, specifically next to the fuel tank. Below is some related extended information: 1. Introduction to Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz, a German automobile brand, is considered one of the most successful premium car brands in the world. It is renowned for its perfect technical level, stringent quality standards, innovative capabilities, and a series of classic coupe models. 2. Logo: The Mercedes-Benz logo originally featured the word 'Benz' surrounded by wheat ears. In 1926, Daimler and Benz merged, and the star-shaped emblem and the wheat ears of Benz were finally combined into one, with the words 'Mercedes-Benz' underneath. Later, the wheat ears were replaced with a circle, and the 'Mercedes-Benz' wording was removed. With the merger of these two oldest automobile manufacturers, the company reapplied for a patent for the trademark, and the star within the circle evolved into today's emblem, which has been in use ever since.
When I first started driving the Mercedes-Benz V260, I had a bit of trouble finding the fuel tank cap switch. It's located on the driver's door panel, near the window control buttons on the left side, with a small icon button. Just press it, and the fuel tank cap pops open automatically—simple and convenient to operate. Later, I realized this design is quite user-friendly, with a logical placement that doesn't distract, allowing easy operation while driving. The fuel tank cap is electric and linked to the central locking system; it only works when the doors are unlocked, enhancing safety. However, be careful not to forget to close the cap, or the warning light will turn on. Always turn off the engine before refueling to prevent hazards. If it won't open, it might be due to low battery or a fuse issue—check the owner's manual for backup solutions. Regularly cleaning dust around the area during car washes helps maintain responsiveness.
