The MANUAL fuel door release is a small black plastic tag attached to a wire on the upper left hand side wall of the trunk. Pull on it and it actuates the slider of the solenoid opening the door.

lol well the only reason i say it like that is bc somtimes guys get on here HAVING owners manuals and never bother reading a little bit. It just may answer some simple questions, instead of hoping on the computer and freakin out about it....nothing against the OP.
