Manual Start
Is there a way to sart the car other than the electronic ignition button? My fobs do not work. Can you start the car using the emergency key that opens the trunk?
Update: Per inputs, I could not find any way to start car without using the ignition button. Don't know about jumping with manual Trans. but doubt that is possibl. I replaced the battery, all works fine.

No Keyhole. Might stick fob in the fob slot in the glove box with the buttons facing the passenger side and see if that works. Also might try to look in the manual.

I can't believe this is a serious question.

There is no keyhole. Only way to start is the start button. Might try erasing and reprogramming the FOB's if nothing else works takes 30-40 min. Is the FOB battery ok?

Very funny all you guys (except those that really tried to help). I replaced the battery and am back in action.
I have reprogrammed new fobs and the buttons face toward the passenger.

With all due respect, IF YOU HAD READ THE MANUAL, you would have noticed that beside each seat there is a handle. Pull up on the handle and gently open the door (since the windows don't "index" down) and you would be out of the car without looking silly and crawling thru the top and out the tonneau lid.
PS read the manual again so you know what to do if the top stops working in the down (or half up) position.
