Thanks for the add. I own a GLS and my gas door will not open. Their is no emergency cable on the 2017 model. Has anyone had this problem? If so..... what steps to correct this problem?

You may need to go to the X166 thread for your answer. This is for 2020 models and newer.

There is a manual release feature. On the X166 GLS it may be quite difficult to reach it. Use a bright flashlight and an inspection mirror behind the rear right luggage compartment trim.

Once located, very long needle nose pliers may be needed to grab hold of it.
