Where is the fuel tank switch located in a Mitsubishi SUV?

On the left side near the door of the driver's seat, lift the black square upwards. The dimensions of the ASX are 4295mm × 1770mm × 1615mm (length × width × height), with a wheelbase of 2670mm. Its size is similar to that of the Qashqai, and these two models are direct competitors. The ASX shares the same platform as the Outlander EX. Here is additional information: Structurally, it features an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch-type center differential, with open differentials on both the front and rear axles, and no locking mechanism. Additionally, none of the wheels have electronic brake assist.
I've driven several Mitsubishi SUVs, like the Outlander or Pajero, and the fuel tank switch is usually located near the driver's lower leg area. If you look down at your feet, just below the dashboard on the door side, there's a small lever or button—just give it a gentle pull to open the fuel cap. If you can't find it at first, don't worry; I also spent some time figuring it out initially. It's best to check while parked to ensure safety. Some models might have slightly different designs, like higher trims where it could be integrated into the door panel or near the steering wheel. If the switch gets stuck, don't force it—it might be a latch issue. Try gently wiggling it, or have a look at the dealership. Regularly cleaning dust and debris during maintenance can prevent switch malfunctions. In short, remember it's usually within easy reach to save time when refueling.
