How do I open the gas tank on a Ford Escape from 2020?

I have a 2020 Ford Escape that I bought just yesterday. However, I’ve hit quite the snag—I have no idea how to open the gas tank door. What do I need to do to open the gas tank on a 2020 Escape?

Unlike previous iterations of the Escape, the 2020 model doesn’t have a lever on the driver’s side floorboard, so opening the tank can get a bit confusing. If you want to open the gas tank on a Ford Escape from 2020, follow these steps:
  1. Turn off the engine on the Escape.
  2. Exit the vehicle.
  3. Keep the doors unlocked.
  4. Go to the rear driver’s side of the vehicle and locate the fuel filler door.
  5. Press firmly on the right-hand side of the fuel filler door.
  6. Once you’re done refueling, push in the exact same place to
    close the fuel filler door
