Default where is the key hole for the trunk?

i was looking at my car and noticed that i cant seem to find where the keyhole is for the trunk.. i keep my jumper cables in the trunk.. what if your battery died and cant pop the trunk with the button on the inside.. is there a way to open the truink? .. am i just not seeing the key hole or is there not one?

I think the above poster is messing with you. Check out this post. There is a manual release in the center storage console.

I have to admit that I would have probably taken a photo of a lock cylinder on another car and photo shopped it in just to just to mess with him but I have to thank Johnny Cake, I guess I would have figured it out eventually but I never would have thought to look in the console.

Damn wished I would have thought of that one first Guess I'm just not that smart, or, more likely, not that EVIL.
Glad we solved another SC430 mystery in record time.
