Hi,

I finally bought a portable battery jump starter so I don't have to wait hours for AAA to show up.

But how do I open the trunk if the battery is dead to get it out?

Any ideas? Thanks!

 

Sorry, but LOL. Irony.


(no I don't have anything useful to add)

 

I know, it's circular, isn't it!

 

There's a key hole on the left side of the underside lip above the license plate.

 

Keyhole, sir!

 

Thank you both for the keyhole suggestion... I'll take a look...

 

There is a keyhole but it might be covered in gunk, mine is lol.

 

You guys are backass!

I did confirm the keyslot above the license plate on the left. I check that it works with the key. It was covered in "gunk", but I wiped it off with my fingers and the trunk opened. I didn't actually disconnect the battery to see if it works with a dead/disconnected battery, but knowing it's there is enough for me.

Now I can jump my battery with my cheap portable battery charger the next time the cop pulls me over and I leave my lights on and drain my battery while chatting with the cop (I only got a warning).

Thanks, ClubLexus!

 

Past time for a proper detail sir.

 

yeah there is a keyhole under there just for those very scenario

 

Thanks for the"secret" keyhole above license plate. My trunk release button and keyless trunk open button aren't working.have to use valet key.

 

Have you checked the trunk release valet button in the glove box (left side edge)...... Push it to lock the key and vehicle button release functions, push it again to allow access.
