Battery Question S500

Hey, I'm helping a friend, It's a 2001 S500, He has a dead battery, and for some reason the blade on his key isn't working in the trunk, It says the battery is in the trunk, but I cant get the trunk open without any power. Is there jump post under the hood? I can't seem to find any. My battery in my car is under the rear seat and I have jump post under the hood. I can't seem to find any where to jump the car to power it up. Any help? thanks

You should be able to open the boot without any power, i have opened mine before with the battery disconnected when i had my battery out for the night for charging and the car parked on the street. If i recall i had to mess about with the blade in the lock, perhaps had to spin it round a full turn before it opened - but it did open.

No, because there aren't any.
