How do you open the gas tank in a Honda Civic?

My partner and I are in San Francisco visiting family. We are borrowing his sister’s 2018 Honda while we’re here because our hotel is far from his family's house. I need to get gas, but I don’t know how to open the gas tank. How do you open the fuel door on a Civic?
