Where is the fuel tank switch of the Reiz located?

The fuel tank switch of the Reiz is located under the driver's seat. There are two switches under the driver's seat, and the smaller one closer to the rear is the fuel tank switch. The Reiz is a rear-wheel-drive mid-size sedan under Toyota, with a length of 4750 mm, a width of 1795 mm, a height of 1450 mm, and a wheelbase of 2850 mm. The Reiz is equipped with two engines: a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 3.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 193 horsepower and a maximum torque of 236 Nm, with a maximum power output at 6200 rpm and maximum torque at 4400 rpm. The 3.0-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 227 horsepower and a maximum torque of 293 Nm, with a maximum power output at 6200 rpm and maximum torque at 4400 rpm.
I've driven several Toyota models before, including the Reiz (Mark X). Its fuel tank release button is located on the lower left side of the driver's seat, near the seat adjustment buttons or by your leg area. There's usually a small icon or a button labeled "Fuel". The concealed design serves as an anti-theft feature - you'll need to have the car key inside or the doors unlocked for the button to function. Once during refueling I couldn't find it, only to discover later that the button might have been stuck or had wiring issues, requiring gentle presses and multiple attempts. This placement is similar across the Mark X series, designed for convenient operation without affecting driving. Remember to turn off the engine before refueling for safety. If the switch frequently malfunctions, it's recommended to visit a 4S shop for electrical system inspection. Overall, Toyota pays meticulous attention to detail in vehicle design. Though small, these button designs are highly practical - once you get used to them, they make driving truly hassle-free.
