If it's like a 1998, use your key. The keyhole is hidden in the "8" of the XK8 logo on the right rear side of the trunk.

Using the key will not work since the release is electronic. Just open the hood and on the passenger side there is a positive terminal to hook up a jump. Just use this long enough to open the trunk so you can change/charge the battery.

Actually, the key will work even with a dead battery. There is a mechanical connection between the lock and the latch. However, it's not unheard of for that mechanical connection to break. If it does, you need to use the electrical connection under the hood method.
