Default Battery Question

What happens if your car is locked in your garage and the battery dies? how do you get into the car to pop the hood to jump or charge the battery?

Use the emergency key/keyhole above the rear license plate to open the hatch. Then pull the 'ripcord' on the left to open the drivers door.

Everyone should do this to make sure that their's works!
Some locks don't work.
