How do you open the fuel tank cap of the Smart?

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Fuel cap

There is absolutely nothing complicated about the operation described above; it is truly within everyone's reach, with zero difficulty. When the need arises to refuel the vehicle, upon arriving at the gas station, we will simply need to open the cap cover of the fuel tank by pushing it slightly and then lifting it. After this, we unscrew the cap to gain access to the point where the fuel dispenser nozzle connects. Let’s remember that when we unlock the vehicle, the central locking system also controls the aforementioned cap cover, locking and unlocking it.
