Opening the gas tank cap on any car is a simple and quick operation to perform independently, thanks also to our short videos that show you the correct position of the fuel door opening lever that allows access to the tank. To open the fuel door, we must lift the lever with the fuel symbol located at the bottom of the dashboard.
