Default Battery dead - doors locked....what do I do?
The F has been sitting for a while and I can't get in to jump-start her. Ideas anyone. Much appreciated.

Make sure to look into a battery tender whenever the car is going to sit for a long time and might discharge its battery.

You have the key inside your fob?

There is a small catch you need to depress to release the metal key.

This will allow you to manually open the door, and access the hood release/battery etc.

Button on UK model is at the base of the fob.

Good luck!

Didn't you get an Owners Manual? That little key also is your Valet Key. It locks the glove compartment so when you push the little button in there on the left to disable the trunk opener, on the dash and on the fob, you can safely leave the car at the "stealership."

Sorry the owners manual is in the glove box at the moment, and no I did not read all sections of the owners manual when I got the F.... . Much respect to you for reading the whole thing in advance my brother.
