How to Open the Fuel Cap on a Toyota Aygo

Model: Toyota Aygo Ab40, MK 2 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Fuel cap

Check the fuel level in the tank using the dedicated section on the instrument cluster. While seated in the driver's seat, look at the area on the lower left: beneath the various switches (like the mirror adjustment), you will notice a small lever. Simply pull this lever to unlock the fuel flap. At this point, you can easily open it and unscrew (anti-clockwise) the fuel cap to refuel. At the end of the procedure, screw the cap back on (clockwise) and close the flap, which will lock automatically. Quite simple!
