How to open the fuel cap and refuel a Mercedes GL

Model: Mercedes Gl X166, MK 2 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Fuel cap

In this video, we can see how to open the fuel cap and refuel a Mercedes GL-Class: first, we simply open the small door that opens from the outside by pressing the right side of the door with our fingers, without acting from inside the car. Then, we twist the cap inside the cover counterclockwise and let the cap hang on the nozzle through a safety wire. After refueling, just give a quarter turn clockwise to close the nozzle; when it is closed properly, we will hear a distinct "click". Now, just close the cover by pressing once on the outside. All of this happens with the car unlocked. If the car is locked, it is not possible to open the small door by pressing.
