Where is the fuel tank switch button for the Magotan?

The fuel tank switch button for the Magotan is located on the fuel tank cap. There is no separate fuel tank cap switch inside the car. When the car is unlocked, simply press down on the fuel tank cap to open it. The fuel tank cap is also locked when the car is locked. The Magotan is a mid-size sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, a wheelbase of 2871mm, and a curb weight of 1445kg. In terms of power, this car is equipped with three engines: a 1.4L turbocharged engine, a low-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine.
As a long-time Magotan driver, I can directly tell you that the fuel tank release button is located on the driver's door panel. When you sit in the driver's seat and naturally rest your left hand on the door handle, just feel slightly downward and you'll see a small button next to the window controls, usually marked with a fuel tank icon. Press it gently and the external fuel filler door will pop open automatically. This thoughtful design provides a fixed position for quick operation, eliminating the hassle of carrying keys and preventing the danger of distracted searching around the console while driving. I often remind friends to press it before refueling when driving this car, but note that the button won't work if the doors are locked - you'll need to unlock first. Once you develop the habit, it becomes very intuitive - each refueling takes just seconds, far more efficient than older models requiring key operation.
I just bought a Magotan not long ago, and I remember being a bit confused the first time I needed to refuel. The fuel tank release button is actually quite easy to find—it's tucked away on the inner side of the driver's door panel, near the window control buttons. Pressing that button with the fuel pump symbol immediately opens the fuel filler flap. The placement is super user-friendly; just a quick reach and you're ready to fuel up, making daily driving feel a bit easier, especially during urgent refueling when there's no time for fumbling. However, its slightly hidden location might cause new drivers to miss it at first—I had to feel around to find it initially. Remember, pressing the button only opens the outer flap; there's still an inner cap that needs to be unscrewed to fill the tank.
