Hi, just had a look in the manual, and it looks like you have to buy a 'booster lead' available from the dealer, and have a spare battery or another car to get the little bugger to charge up so you can get in!Connect the lead clips to the battery terminals behind the N/S/F wheel. I think charging the battery is the only way to get it started, so this looks like the only plan, unless someone else has a simpler & more devious plot???

Call your dealer and ask for the 'secret' way in.

The battery method is a lot easier though

Hmm. I agree the battery charger is the more permenant solution, however the devious way only takes a few minutes once you know how to do it.

I think it is well in agreement though that if you telephone your dealer they should let you know.

Just didnt want an inadvertant helper to post the method here...

Keep a spare battery charged in garage (keep your old one next time its replaced).

you can then open the doors easy if it goes flat AND jump start it. Once started, a 30 min drive should be enough to get some charge into it and it should then be able to be trickle topped up with the accumate.

works for me anyway.

There's no point doing the 'secret way in thing' anyway,the car still won't start, so although he could get in, it would be pointless because the little bugger still wouldn't start and he'd still have to charge it up!
