Default Can anyone tell me what this is?

or what it does? Yes, I RTFM, but nothing. It's a plastic loop located underneath the front passenger side fender, accessible with the door open. Is it an emergency release for the frunk?

I know I could just pull it and see what happens, but on the off-chance that it's connected to a test cable for the airbags, I thought I would ask first. The car is an 08' RS60.

TIA

It looks like the fuel door release. Don't pull it too hard if you ever have to use it.

Yes, it's the emergency fuel door release.
To be used if the central locking system fails to unlock the door.
