Identify the release lever: There is a lever or a release button next to the fuel cap door inside the vehicle. It usually has an arrow pointing towards it.
Activate the release lever: Pull or press the release lever to unlock the fuel door. You may need to use some force, but avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
Press the fuel cap door: If the release lever opens the latch but the fuel door does not pop up, apply gentle pressure on the fuel door from the outside. It should open easily.
Check for obstructions: If the fuel door still doesn't open, inspect the area around the door and the release lever for any obstructions or debris blocking its movement. Remove any obstacles if found.
Lubricate the latch mechanism: If the latch is hard to move, you can apply a small amount of lubricant, such as WD-40 or silicone spray, to the latch and the release mechanism. This can help reduce friction and make it easier to open.
Use a key: Some Toyota Camry models may have a key slot on the fuel cap door. If yours has one, insert the key and turn it to unlock the latch.
Call for assistance: If you are unable to open the fuel cap door using these methods, you may need to contact a professional locksmith or automotive repair shop for help.
Note: Before attempting any repairs or adjustments, consult the owner's manual for your specific Toyota Camry model for any additional instructions or warnings related to the fuel cap door latch.
