How do you open the fuel tank cap of the Volkswagen Jetta?

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 6, A6 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Fuel cap

We answer the question posed in the subject, with the description of the video tutorial available here, short but clear and exhaustive. With the car remote control, we open the central locking system, to which the fuel tank cap door is also connected. We press on it to slightly lift it and open it. Now we grab the aforementioned cap and turn it counterclockwise to unscrew it, we remove it from its seat and hook it to the door using the appropriate flap. After refueling the vehicle, we perform the reverse procedure and close everything.
