Release Open a Toyota Yaris Petrol Cap

How to open / release the  petrol / gas cap on a Toyota Yaris. Very easy to perform. However, there is some confusion as to where the button to release the fuel cap is located. Look down to the side of the drivers seat, below the cushion and to the side of the floor / footwell. On the right hand side (United Kingdom) you will see a little button that has a picture of a petrol pump on it.

Place your finger under the button and pull it up. This will release the petrol cap flap on the outside of the car. See the image above which shows the levers location. After this is done, If you need to know how to actually take the fuel cap off so you can put petrol in the car, turn the cap anti-clockwise to unscrew it.

When you are finished putting petrol in the car turn / screw the cap back on (clockwise) until you hear it clicking. The clicking means its now securely fastened. Close the outer flap and you're good to go. But don't forget to pay for your petrol before you drive off!
