How do you open the gas tank on a 2016 Nissan Sentra?

My grandfather just came home from the hospital yesterday, and I’m out picking up his groceries and running other errands. He needs gas in his car, too, but I can’t figure out how to open the door to the gas tank. Can you tell me how to open a gas tank on a 2016 Nissan Sentra?

To open the gas tank on a 2016 Nissan Sentra, you’ll want to pull the gas tank lid release lever, which is located on the bottom left-hand side of the dashboard to the left of the steering column. (On the lever, you’ll see a gas pump icon.) This will pop open the door to the gas tank.
Happy errand-running and best wishes for your grandfather’s speedy recovery!
