Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the Octavia?

The Octavia does not have a dedicated fuel tank cap switch. It uses a magnetic fuel tank cap. After the car is turned off, you can open the fuel tank cap by pressing the fuel tank cap on the outer side of the vehicle. The Octavia is a compact car under SAIC Skoda, equipped with a 1.2T 116 horsepower L4 engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback, with a top speed of 198 km/h, maximum power of 85 kW, and maximum torque of 200 Nm. The Octavia's body dimensions are 4675mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2686mm. The intake form is turbocharged, and the transmission type is a dual-clutch transmission.
The fuel tank cap switch for my Octavia is located on the left side of the driver's seat, near the door sill on the floor. See that small button with a fuel tank symbol? Yes, that one. Just gently lift it with your foot - no need to bend down and fumble for it. Once a friend couldn't find it when driving my car and anxiously circled the vehicle. Actually, the designer placed the switch there mainly to prevent accidental activation. If you find the cap doesn't close tightly after refueling, remember to check if the rubber seal is deformed - this is a common issue with older cars. Here's a bonus tip: if it's frozen in winter, don't force it; just pour some warm water on the latch mechanism to solve the problem.
