FAQS
Why does my fuel door not open when I press on it?
The fuel door on the Volkswagen Atlas locks and unlocks with the rest of the car’s doors. This is a safety feature to prevent unwanted access to the gas tank. Unlock the vehicle first to be able to open the fuel door.
How do I figure out which side my fuel door is on?
To locate the position of your car’s fuel door, check the fuel level indicator icon on your instrument panel. Next to the fuel pump icon is an arrow. This points to the direction of the fuel door in your car.
Why is there a yellow symbol icon showing after refueling my car?
The Volkswagen Atlas has a yellow fuel cap light that turns on when the gas cap in the fuel chamber is not closed correctly. To rectify this (while first ensuring the vehicle’s ignition is off), open the fuel door. Ensure the gas cap is tightly shut before turning the car back on again.
