Where Is The Inertial Gas Cut-off Reset Button/switch?

I was coming to a stop and I hit a bump. The computer must have thought I came to a sudden stop, and cut-off the gas. I want to reset it. I can't find it, I'm told it's in the trunk. This seems to be a manufactuer's secret, because my micanic doesn't know what I'm talking about, but every other regular joe, I talk to swears that it's there. A photo diagram would help TONS
