Default New guy trunk question

I found the manual release cable for the fuel door behind the driver with a big tag on it, and located the fuse that controls the electronic trunk and fuel door release, but in all my use of the search function and browsing the owner's manual, I can't find anything about a manual release cable for the C5 Z06 trunk. Is there one?

Yupp I think it's either in the right or left side cargo compartment hidden under the carpet I believe there is a slit cut for it has a tag connected to it as well IIRC.

Thanks, I found it after pulling out the carpet and the back inside carpet surrounding the lock. My thin little cable was bunched in a coil under the locking mechanism with a tie wrap.
