Interesting... I thought it said in the OM it opened the trunk. I went out and checked, it's located on the latch itself in the rear. How you are suppose to get to it is beyond me. Even with opening the tonneau and raising the top to it's vertical position I still cannot get to it.
Not real sure. How about a new battery LOL. ??

I just know where it's located. You're on your own as to how you get to it. 
Come try it in mine. I have a partition wall installed between the passenger area and the trunk.
I actually believe it's more child safety / people locked in the trunk thing rather than a my battery is dead type of thing.

If your vehicle is equipped with a convertible
top/hardtop and you have lost battery power, use the
manual release cable to open the trunk lid. To access
the cable, remove the center storage compartment lid
located in the rear of the trunk area. See “Rear Storage
Compartments” in the Index for more information.
Pull the cable straight down to release the trunk lid.
If your vehicle is equipped with a convertible top
and trunk release handle and you have lost battery
power, use the trunk release handle to open the
trunk. See “Trunk Release Handle” in the Index
for more information.
There is a glow-in-the-dark trunk release handle
located on the rear wall of the trunk below the latch.
This handle will glow following exposure to light.
Pull the release handle down to open the trunk from
the inside.

Make sure you keep it in the center luggage compartment so it's handy.
I like the "Hire a 4 year old neighbor kid" and shove him in there.
Sounds like the best method.
