To open the fuel door on a Volkswagen Atlas, ensure the vehicle is off. The door opens automatically by gently pressing on the outer edge of the door; in some versions, there may be an internal button near the driver's seat or on the door. In case of emergency, refer to the manual for the manual release lever located in the trunk or behind the interior trim, following the manufacturer's instructions.

After opening, insert the fuel cap and close the door by pushing it until you hear it click shut, ensuring it is securely fastened.
