How can I jumpstart the car?
My car has no more battery. I opened the door with the small key, but I can't open the trunk with that key... I don't know why it doesn't fit in there.

Is there any way to jumpstart the car from the engine?


Thanks

I know of no way to do so as I have been told that by MB. However, your key should open your trunk. I just tried my '02 CL 500 and found it to be a little tricky. Once in place, turn it all the way clockwise and then push the button up. I know you said it won't fit but try it again.

On the passenger side, at the feet it's a "+" and a "-" so you can give the car energy from other car or other battery. After I had enough power I managed to open the trunk from the button and after that I jumpstarted the car from other car.

I don't understand "passenger side at the feet". Can you be a little more descriptive as to where these post accesses are?

Under the dashboard... where the passenger keeps his feet. I will make some photos.

You have to tap into the hot cable running under passenger side carpet. You have to open the insulation and supply power to the cable. Then you can open your trunk etc..
