To open the fuel filler cap on a Volkswagen Jetta, enter the cabin and locate the dedicated button on the driver’s door panel. With the vehicle unlocked, press the button with the fuel pump icon: this will electrically release the outer flap.

Exit the car and open the flap on the side of the bodywork. Grasp the fuel cap and turn it counter-clockwise until it is completely unscrewed, then proceed to refuel.

When finished, screw the cap back on clockwise until tight and close the flap.
