1. Park your vehicle and turn off the engine:
Make sure the vehicle is in a safe and accessible location before you get out.

- In most Ford vehicles, the fuel door release button is a small, often red or silver button labeled "Fuel Door" or "Fuel Release".
- It is usually located inside the vehicle, on the floor or side panel near the driver's seat.
- In some models, the fuel door release button may be located near the steering wheel or on the dashboard.
3. Press and hold the fuel door release button:
Push down and hold the fuel door release button for a few seconds until you hear a clicking sound or feel a pop.
4. Check the fuel door:
The fuel door should now be unlocked and opened, revealing the gas tank opening.
Tips:
- Read the owner's manual: If you cannot find the fuel door release button or are unsure how to operate it, refer to the owner's manual for your specific Ford vehicle.
- Ensure safety: When refueling, please take necessary precautions to prevent accidents or spillage, such as parking in a safe location, turning off the engine, and following guidelines at the gas station.
