I don’t have mine yet, but the manual doesn’t say anything about a lock or a release button—it just says press to open, like the OP said, with the implication that it’s not lockable.
I‘m not sure that’s a great idea—there’s a reason car makers started putting locks on fuel doors a few decades ago.
I like the solution in my wife’s Honda, which doesn’t require a release button: if the driver’s door is closed, the fuel door is locked; if the driver’s door is open, the fuel door is unlocked.
I am not sure what the option would be. On the WL74 models (2-row) there is this:Pre 2021 old body had locking fuel door. My 2014 Summit has a locking fuel door. My new 2022 Overland "L" has NO locking fuel door mechanism. It is not a feature on the new model.
Push-push means push to open....push to close.I am not sure what the option would be. On the WL74 models (2-row) there is this:
PUSH-PUSH FUEL FILLER DOOR (XJ7)
Same option on the 3-row all models however I have no clue what it means.
The 2021 models (WK74) specify this:
POWER LOCKING FUEL FILLER DOOR (XJA)
So it seems they have dropped the locking fuel door for 2022. I learned something today.
Probably images from a different vehicle. I drove a Compass 4xe in Iceland for 9 days with the locking gas tank and the images look identical to that setup. When building a GC 4xe online the specs have the tank cover listed as Push-Push Fuel Filler Door so the lock is gone.i think the 4xe's have a locking fuel door. At least the images of the hybrid mode buttons near the light switches show a fuel door open button.
I'd assume it is a similar pressurized system to the wrangler 4xe's.

Teenagers.The code guide for the 4xe specifies only Push-Push so the locking fuel door gone. Probably a cost saving measure since siphoning gas from a vehicle is not really possible these days so what is the point of a lock?
By that do you mean someone dumping something in your tank for the fun of wrecking your vehicle? I guess that could be an issue if someone was mad at you for something. My car is always locked in a garage at night because where I live many cars are targets for catalytic convertor thefts and air bag theft which is the latest rage here or simply rumeging through the car to see if you left anything of value in there to steal. :-(Teenagers.
Can someone in possession of a WL74, 2 row GC chime in about whether their fuel door locks? While the charger door might have one on the 4xe, It seems unlikely that the gas fuel door would be different on that.The code guide for the 4xe specifies only Push-Push so the locking fuel door gone.

I can’t think why you’d need a lock on a EV charger door.Can someone in possession of a WL74, 2 row GC chime in about whether their fuel door locks? While the charger door might have one on the 4xe, It seems unlikely that the gas fuel door would be different on that.

I’ve never had it happen but to put it gently teenagers can be unpredictable and occasionally lack an understanding of consequences of their actions. My daughter knew a young man who thought it would be funny to put some type on dish soap in an aquarium where a bunch of kids were spending a weekend for prom at an Airbnb. Expensive mistake.By that do you mean someone dumping something in your tank for the fun of wrecking your vehicle? I guess that could be an issue if someone was mad at you for something.

In this video he does a walk around of a car show Trailhawk 4xe Grand and it shows the fuel button:Probably images from a different vehicle.
