The video presented here aims to better convey the idea about the car and the type of fuel tank cap door we are referring to. The answer to the question at hand is quite simple, as the opening method is the same as the majority of cars on the road. First, you need to unlock the car by pressing the appropriate button on the remote control, unlocking both the doors and the aforementioned cap door.

Then, you exert a slight pressure on the cap door to lift it slightly, and finally, you grab it with one hand and open it, thus being able to access the fuel cap.
