Default Fuel Door

I just bought an 04 Z06. Can someone tell me where the fuel door button is? I was excited and forgot to get the owners manual.

open up the center console lid. its in there. Also, if that fails ever, on the left side of the trunk area behind the carped theres a tab connected to a wire. pull that and the fuel door will pop open. have fun with the z.

Sweet. I found it. What is the button to the left of the fuel door button? It looks like a toggle switch.

that is the ejection button for the passenger seat. if the passenger starts whining too much about your getting the car sideways thats when you use that button.

That's not factory. I'd contact the previous owner, could have been a stealth switch for NOS. I'd want to know if that's what it was for if this wasn't disclosed to you.

Good luck
