C6 Dead battery help
I stored my daughter's C6 this past winter and the battery went dead on it. The doors are locked shut, trunk hatch is closed, the front hood is closed and latched and the owners manual is in the glove box.
is there a secret way with no power I can either open the door and the front hood.
The model is :2010 Grand Sport Convertible
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Todd

use the key in the fob, and open the trunk............... insertion near license plate, then pull handle to open the doors............ pull handle in trunk and door handle at the same time, use 2 hands from side of vehicle

Your daughter might want to check into getting a battery tender for her car. It seems that 3 weeks without being driven is about the max. time frame before the battery will discharge enough to give problems.

Also, I recommend reading the manual so you daughter understands how to open the door from inside the car with a dead battery. It is one thing to be outside with the dead battery but may cause panic when you think you are trapped in your car.
