Help Please, I'm locked out!

I put my car in storage in December and the battery died! I was starting it once a week (its just in the backyard), but I think I left something on after showing it off at Christmas (damn eggnog!). Now I get no response from key fobs or door handle. There is no mechanical key hole (that I know of) to get into the car. I can't even pop the hood to charge it back up! :frusty:
Does anyone have a solution?

There's an emergency key in the back of your key fob. Remove that and then remove the small cover on your door handle from underneath.

at least you can use key blade (inside key fob) and key hole on door handle to enter the car

As others have noted, there is a mechanical key hole on the underside of the door handle. The corresponding blade key is located inside of your FOB.

Thanks guys. I thought there was a mechanical, just had to get down on the ground to see it. With some effort the cover popped off and now we're charging! Thanks again!

There is a way to get to the key hole, [ame]

Getting the plastic door lock cover off is a real pain.I felt mine would break if I forced it so I went to the dealer and let them break it.I like my dealer and it wasnt their fault.They ordered a new one and sent it out to be painted a few shades off. I dont think the new one will come off any better. Oh well,hopefully I wont need to remove it.

Shouldn't be any problem to slide it off with the key. And I can't believe your sales person didn't go over that in the delivery process.

I found out from the youtube video above... but I saw it long before I bought my car Lol.

However I wasn't sure how to turn on the fog lights when I bought my car.. salesman didn't even show me that.

I think I would rather go to the dentist than watch that video again.....

The other blade key that looks like a regular key (not the blade key inside the FOB) will also work on the doors. Might be easier to find that one in your house vs fighting the FOB to get the blade key out.

That BBttery Tender in the second post works great. I got two at work to keep our extra batteries ready at all times.

Battery Tender Jr at Wally world for about $30 works great.
