The new Toyota Aygo features a different fuel filler flap opening mechanism compared to other Toyota vehicles. To open the flap, push the lever located inside the cabin, specifically near the steering wheel on the left side.

Once you pull the lever, you can push the flap and rotate the fuel cap to refuel. To close the flap, push it back in. This new method of opening and closing the flap helps prevent fuel theft and other related issues.

This approach is also becoming common in other car models.
