2021 you’ll need to locate the fuel door release lever and do the following:
  • Turn off your Nissan engine
  • Pull the fuel release lever. It’s the latch on the lower left side of the steering wheel next to the hood release lever.
  • Get out of your vehicle and go to the opened the fuel door
  • Turn the gas cap counterclockwise to remove it
That’s it! When you head to the nearest gas station to refuel your 2021 Nissan Altima, it’s important that you
choose the best gasoline
