If the fuel tank cap of the Volkswagen Sagitar can still be opened after the car is locked, it indicates that the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap is damaged. In this case, it is necessary to immediately go to a 4S shop to repair the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap. The following is an introduction to the relevant content of the Sagitar: 1. Model: A compact car under the Volkswagen brand. 2. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height of this car are 4753mm, 1800mm, and 1462mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2731mm. 3. Power: The new Sagitar uses two engines in total, one is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 85kw and a maximum torque of 175nm. This engine can output the maximum torque starting from 1500 rpm and can continue up to 4500 rpm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 5000 to 6000 rpm. 4. Transmission: The engine is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I noticed that the fuel filler cap of my Sagitar can still be opened directly after locking the car, and initially thought it was a malfunction. Later, I learned that this is a design feature of Volkswagen—the fuel filler cap lock is linked to the central locking system. The fuel filler cap only locks when the central lock button inside the car is pressed, or when the lock button on the key is pressed twice in succession. Pressing the lock button on the key once only locks the doors, not the fuel filler cap. This design is actually quite user-friendly, as it eliminates the need to repeatedly unlock the entire car when refueling. However, it's important to be mindful of theft prevention—it's best to develop the habit of double-clicking the lock button. When you hear a click from the chassis, it means the fuel filler cap is securely locked.
