Fuel Door Won't Open

My battery died and I can't get my fuel door open to added more gas. Is there a way to pop it remotely??

I tried searching and didnt see anything, plus I went through the service manual and didnt see anything there either.

You can either lift the cargo hatch carpeting up where it snaps in place near the rear speaker cover and slide your hand thru to the manual release inside. Or if you can't get your hand in remove the driverside rear speaker/wheelwell cover and then you will see the fuel door release thru the opening.

Mine will do that once in a while. I just tap on the cover, then hit the switch again.
