Where is the fuel tank switch located on the Jaguar XEL?

The fuel tank switch of the Jaguar XEL is located at the lower left side of the driver's compartment. To open it, simply press the switch key, and the fuel tank cover will open automatically. Taking the 2020 Jaguar XEL as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4778mm, width 1850mm, height 1429mm, with a wheelbase of 2935mm, a fuel tank capacity of 62 liters, and a trunk capacity of 455 liters. The 2020 Jaguar XEL is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 147kW and a maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It features a front suspension type of double-wishbone independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
The Jaguar XEL doesn't actually have a separate fuel filler flap button, which is quite a convenient design. When I first got the car, I spent ages looking for it before realizing that you just need to press the right side of the fuel filler flap when the car is unlocked, and it pops open automatically. Remember to turn off the engine when refueling, and after filling up, simply push it back gently until it clicks into place. If you try to press it when the car is locked, it won't open, which is a good safety feature to prevent accidental opening. My old Ford Focus required reaching for a switch under the driver's seat, but this new design is much simpler and leaves the trunk space more organized. However, in case of an electric mechanism failure, there's an emergency mechanical pull cord behind the left trim panel in the trunk.
