Unhappy Help...

My car batteries are dead. I can't pop the trunk to get to the batteries to jump start the car. How to do jump start the car? Or open the trunk to get access to the batteries...

If you use the key blade it self, it should open the trunk.

That happened to me and I was scared that I might have to have benz come and open it for me.$$$$$ But just use the valet key, you know the one that sticks out the remote key. put it in the trunk turn it and push the button. It should open.

Thanks for you help guys. I left the car for a while when I came back there was just enough energy to pop the trunk open. But I'll be sure to keep in mind to use the blade key to open it next time.

Isn't there a charging post under the hood? Much safer place to connect jumper and charging cables. No explosive gasses to worry about.
