To open the fuel cap on a Volkswagen Virtus, use the internal lever located near the driver's seat, usually on the left side at the base of the seat or next to the footrest. Pulling the lever upward will automatically unlock the fuel door.

Once the outer door is open, turn the fuel cap counterclockwise to access the filler neck. After refueling, screw the cap back on until you hear a click and press the door until it is fully closed.

This method allows you to open the door without electronic buttons or direct pressure on the door itself.
