After you push the button, just a FYI. There is a emergency cable to open the door. Pop the rear lid or hatch and look on the left side, You should find a small plastic handle. Just pull and the door opens. You may have to dig around a bit to find it.

Take the time to read the owners manual.
Your next thread will probably be "why did my fuel pump burn out?"

I have to admit that in over 10 years on the forum, I can't recall that question being asked before.
