Use the trunk key to open the trunk and then use the handle in the trunk to manually open the door. The key slot is located above the license plate.

Use your key to open rear. the keylock is in the middle of the car rear (get on your knees and look up (trunk) its a little slot, and it might turn hard. After that thers a pull cord that will alow you to open doors

Take your key, look under the rear hatch above your tag.

Insert Key, turn and open hatch.

Look on interior left wall in truck area for pull tab.

Pull the tab to open drivers door.

Insert body of ex-wife in trunk, close and drive to the bridge!

From the Owners Manual:

If power to the vehicle or the keyless access transmitter
is lost, there are two ways to open the door.
From inside the vehicle, use the door release handle
located on the floor next to each seat. Pull the handle
up to unlock and unlatch the door.
From outside the vehicle, use the door release tab
located on the carpet inside the trunk on the driver’s
side of the vehicle. Pull the tab to unlock and unlatch
the driver’s door. See Hatch/Trunk on page 2-14 for
information on opening the trunk during a loss of power.
If your vehicle has lost battery power, open the
hatch/trunk using the vehicle key. The key lock cylinder
is located on the rear of the hatch/trunk lid above the
license plate. Turn the vehicle key clockwise in the lock.

Thanks guys!

I should have known that but I never read the owners manual and it's locked in the car and my wifey filed on me two years ago so I've only put 3000mi. on it.

First rule should be take the owners manual out of the car AND READ IT or Chevy should print the instructions on the back of the fob. I don't know how many times I've read this and I've only been a member since September.
