The fuel door on a 2019 Honda Odyssey is released from inside the cabin by a small lever on the driver’s side. Pull the lever to pop the door open, then go outside to remove the fuel cap and refuel.
Inside the cabin: locating the fuel door release
In most 2019 Odyssey models, the fuel-door release is located on the left side of the driver’s footwell near the kick panel. It’s a small lever or switch labeled FUEL DOOR that you pull toward you to release the door. The exact position can vary slightly by trim, but it remains inside the vehicle and within easy reach from the driver's seat.
Use the following location reference to verify the release point:
- Left side of the driver's footwell near the kick panel, where a small lever labeled FUEL DOOR is typically found.
If you still can’t locate it, consult the owner's manual or ask a Honda dealer for a quick in-person check. Most drivers locate it within a few seconds after knowing the general area.
Opening and fueling steps
Once you’ve released the door, follow these steps to refuel:
- Exit the vehicle and locate the fuel door that has popped open slightly from the release.
- Open the fuel door fully and remove the fuel cap by twisting it counterclockwise (if your model uses a cap).
- Refuel, then reinsert and tighten the fuel cap until it clicks, and close the fuel door securely.
Tip: Always ensure the fuel door is fully closed after fueling to prevent dust or moisture from entering the fuel area.
Summary: In a 2019 Honda Odyssey, there isn’t a separate exterior gas button. The fuel door is released from inside the car, typically via a small lever on the left-side driver’s footwell. Pull the lever, then refuel as usual.
