I used the emergency door handle, after I got in closed the door, hit start, and everything went dead. I had to use the handle to get out, battery stone dead.
Handle worked!

FWIW.
Might be a good idea for all owners to locate and check these emergency pull cord/ cable systems.
Emergency pulls:
Fuel door in trunk
Drivers door in trunk
Rt & Lt Door handles on passenger compartment floor.
Trunk/ hatch behind dirvers seat?
Vert, is there a pull for the tonnoue cover (sp) behind waterfall?
AND test access with your emegency metal key lock above the rear license plate area.
Any list errors or did I leave something off the list?
No, I have not tested these systems myself in years.
Will do so thanks to this thread.

Actually,, there's lots of stuff that should be checked periodically. Lights, treadware, fluid levels, belts, hoses, and so on.
