Default Trunk release on 2014?

I don't seem to be able to figure out if the 'toe swinging' trunk release is included in a 2014 prestige (TDI here but shouldn't matter).
I've tried multiple swings with my foot after looking at the video. At some point I start feeling a little ridiculous. Trunk release would be nice, though.
Does anyone know if it is supposed toe be there? The manual was no help.

THANKS

Seems most of the docs are wring. My service guy demonstrated to me that you need to somewhat approach the trunk straight and dead center then swing foot forward under bumper (not side to side) one time, try not to let your leg touch the bumper and then pull your leg back out wait a second or so and it should open. I have tried it a few times since they showed me this and it worked better, but still think Audi has work to don no this.

Keithl describes the procedure pretty well. I tried practicing this in my garage (out of site of neighbors ) many times and generally had about a 20% success rate; however, the one time I tried it when I actually had my arms full with a couple pizzas, salads and sandwiches stacked on top, it worked perfectly [much to my surprise] and fortunately didn't knock the food out of my arms.
