How do you open the fuel cap flap on the Toyota Corolla?

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

A clearer video tutorial than the one available here could not exist. Brief in duration, but very useful for anyone unsure about the operation described. The protagonist of the aforementioned video pulls the lever located next to the driver's seat, at the bottom, slightly raising the flap. He then goes outside the cabin and grabs the flap with his hand, opening it from right to left at a 90-degree angle. Essentially, he has completed the operation; in fact, the last thing to do is unscrew the cap, refuel, and then close everything mentioned earlier.
