since there is no manual lock on the trunk, it can only be unlocked electronically (with the fob or via the dashboard button). unfortunately, my battery died a couple days ago. i keep a set of jumper cables in the trunk in case this should happen, but was surprised to find the trunk completely inaccessible without a live battery. duh...

where do most people keep their jumper cables?

oddly, there is an emergency release for the trunk - but it's on the *inside* - where no one big enough to drive the car could ever fit.
