How do you open the fuel tank cap of the Toyota Corolla?

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 5, E210 - Years 2019-2026
Part: Fuel cap

Refueling is the most common thing that happens in cars, whether they have a gasoline or diesel engine, and for this reason we cannot not know how to access the fuel tank cap. Common among most cars built in more or less recent times, including the Toyota Corolla, the opening method is very convenient: next to the driver's seat, at the bottom, there is a lever to pull, which acts on the cable connected to the aforementioned little door, making it slightly lift. We will then open it completely by 90 degrees, completing everything by unscrewing the cap.

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
