Random question about push-button doors.
Excuse the 
C4 owner question, but the other day, I had an issue where my C4 alternator's death meant I drained my battery. In otherwords, the car died in my driveway, with me in it, and had no power whatsoever.
I had recently gone for a ride in a friend's C6, and thought, "Should the same thing happen in a C6, with the electronic push-button door openers.. how would one get out? (assuming the windows are rolled up)" Is there a secret handle to pull somewhere? A safe word?
Inquiring minds and all..

Yes, the C6 has emergency door releases beside each seat. You aren't going to be locked in and die for starvation. There is also an external key lock for the hatch in case the battery dies. 
Looks like I was the slowest typist.......

Yep, there's a manual latch on both sides inside the car. The battery to my key fob died once and it was inside the car. I had to call Pop a Lock and I told them to use that hook thingy they had to open one of the latches.

Phew.. I was getting concerned about C6 owners being trapped in their cars as their 20-year-old alternators begin to die in the 2020s.. good to know my concerns were without merit

That is a shot of my pup, Monty.. when I first took that shot, and posted it in OT (back in 2005 or so) there was quite the photoshopping thread on the pic. Monty flying over various cities.. with a cape.. etc..
