Emergency Access

[Damo M]

Thought as I went to my snow covered car this morning:
"what would I do if the battery was flat?"!!! I know about the battery jump socket by the wheel arch (for which I have ordered the appropriate socket and leads) but what if I needed to access the car to get out of the rain waiting fro the AA to turn up?

I looked at the handbook and it says that if you need to access the car when there is a 'system malfunction' then this should be done by removing the roof panel. It does not tell you however how to open the boot to release the roof catches when there is no power!!!

Anyone got any ideas, I'm sure that there is a sneaky way into the car that for obvious reasons is not openly publicised?

Unlike the Cerbera I don't think there is a way into the boot while the electrics are off.However I would speak to your dealer.For obvious reasons it cannot shown on here if there is one!

Definately a way in. In a good place too! Speak to your dealership.

And be discreet!

One word of warning.

Once you are in the car, try not to open the doors using the emergency open handle. If there are no electrics then the window wont lower and the window will force itself against the A-pillar. They probably will open but at the espense of removing some paint where it scrapes against the A-pillar.

Best to get out the way you got in.
