    On the early 03's, no, on the later built after April 03 1st gens it is under the back seat. You can get your hand under the seat, and feel for a loop to pull. Not sure about the new fangled 2nd gens.

    It's normally towards the middle under the passenger side of the rear seat too.

    Handle looks like item 30
