Chevy Malibu — How to Open Fuel Door

Chevy Malibu — How to Open Fuel Door

The Chevy Malibu is one of the most rented vehicles in America. Many people who rent it might be confused about something that is simple to figure out for most vehicles.

Whether you’re renting or have just purchased a Malibu, you may wonder how to open the fuel door the first time you stop to refuel it. Don’t worry, we’ll show you how.

There actually is no fuel door release switch inside the Chevy Malibu. Simply exit the vehicle, and press on the left side of fuel door. The gas tank door will pop right open, allowing you access to the gas cap.

This post applies to 2015, 2016, and 2017 models.

    Thank you. Just purchased new Malibu and forgot to ask. Didn’t find the instructions I needed in the car handbook. Great blessing this morning.
