Where is the fuel tank switch button on the Avancier?

[DeIsabela]

The fuel tank switch button of the Avancier is located above the left rear wheel outside the vehicle. Press the fuel tank cover to open it. The dimensions of the Avancier are: length 4858mm, width 1942mm, height 1670mm, with a wheelbase of 2820mm, a trunk capacity of 510 liters, and a curb weight of 1708kg. The front suspension of the Avancier is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 193PS, a maximum power of 142kW, and a maximum torque of 243Nm, paired with a continuously variable transmission.

The fuel tank release switch in the Avancier is actually quite easy to locate - it's positioned on the driver's left side near the floor area. When I first got the car, I was puzzled too, but later discovered it's the lever with a fuel pump icon just below the left knee. Pressing it makes the fuel filler door pop open about half a centimeter - remember to do this after parking and turning off the engine. This design is common across Honda models, much more convenient than some cars that require searching for the switch in the trunk. Just note that this switch is placed close to the headlight height adjustment knob, so new owners might confuse them at first, but you'll get used to it after a few tries. The best part is this design keeps your hands dry during rainy days since you can directly insert the fuel nozzle.

As a long-time owner of four generations of Honda cars, the fuel tank switch is conveniently located on the outer side of the left leg, within easy reach. The plastic lever is marked with a fuel pump symbol, and pressing it down pops open the fuel tank cap. The key point is that it only works when the car is unlocked. If you press it and nothing happens, chances are the doors are still locked. I once broke into a sweat at the gas station because I forgot this detail. My advice is to unlock the car first when parking before operating the switch. Additionally, while the fuel filler is on the right side of the car, the switch is on the left, which might feel awkward for beginners. But over time, you'll appreciate the logical layout, as all non-driving related operations are concentrated in one area.

The fuel tank switch of the Avancier is located in the control area on the left side of the driver's seat, just slightly forward from the knee position. Specifically, there's a small lever with a wavy line on the panel below the seat adjustment buttons; gently pulling it will open the fuel tank cover. I've noticed many car owners can't locate it even after six months of driving, though it's clearly illustrated on page 87 of the manual. A quick reminder: this switch is right next to the trunk release button, so don't confuse them. When refueling, make sure the fuel tank cover's hinge is facing upwards to prevent water accumulation during rainy days. My cousin learned this the hard way during his first maintenance—his fuel tank cover rusted and got stuck due to improper handling.

The flat fuel tank switch is located under the instrument panel on the left side of the steering column, approximately 15 cm in front of your left knee. I often encounter car owners who can't find it during repairs, but actually Honda designed it very ergonomically – you can reach it without bending over. When operating, a click sound indicates it's opened; if there's no response, it might be a relay failure. Once I encountered an extreme case where the owner poured milk tea into this switch causing it to stick, so regular cleaning is necessary. This position also makes it convenient to insert and remove fuel cards, which is much more practical than some German car designs that require getting out to press the fuel tank cover.

After three years of driving the Crown, my favorite feature is the design location of the fuel tank switch. Sitting in the driver's seat and looking down, there's a long button with a fuel symbol next to the left leg—pressing it pops open the fuel tank cover. I recommend turning the steering wheel all the way to the left before refueling for more operating space. A common mistake beginners make is pressing the switch without turning off the engine; actually, the switch is locked when the engine is running. Also, be mindful of freezing issues in winter. Once at -15°C, I forced the switch and broke the latch, but later learned to use a hairdryer to thaw it first. The plastic component of this switch is very durable and typically won't fail within five years.
