Where is the Kia fuel tank cap switch located?

On the left side under the driver's seat, near the left front door, there are two pull-handle switches: one is for the trunk, and the other is the fuel tank switch. Below is some related information about Kia: Introduction: Kia, or Kia Motors Corporation, is the earliest automobile manufacturer in South Korea. In 2000, it merged with Hyundai Group to form Hyundai Kia Automotive Group. Hyundai Kia Automotive Group is the world's fifth-largest automobile manufacturer by production. Company History: The predecessor of Kia Motors was established in December 1944 as a small factory that manually produced bicycle parts. In March 1952, it manufactured South Korea's first bicycle, named the 'Samchully,' and the company was renamed Kia Industrial Company.
I've been driving a Kia for several years. The fuel filler door release is usually located near the left foot pedal next to the driver's seat, where there's a small pull cord - just give it a tug and the cap opens. This thoughtful design puts it right at hand for easy operation, though the exact position may vary slightly between models. For instance, it's quite prominent on my Sportage, while on the Sorento it might be positioned a bit further back. If it's your first time driving a Kia, I recommend locating it before fueling up to avoid awkward fumbling at the gas station. For safety, always remember to operate it after turning off the engine to prevent fuel leakage or accidental ignition. Regularly check that the pull cord moves smoothly to avoid jamming or rusting. If you can't find it, try gently pressing the fuel door - many newer models have sensor-activated mechanisms that automatically pop it open.
