Nissan Micra

Post by Agile »

We have a two year old Micra.

The car has no outside keyholes and all unlocking is done using the remote keyfob.

Question obviously arises how do you open the car if :_

a. keyfob battery fails?

b. Car battery is flat ?

best I could do...bit of plastic on the passenger side, remote fob will pull apart to reveal a mechanical key..probably tells you all this in the owners manual....which is no good at all if the manual is in the glove compartment..

What do the owners manuals say?

I can't imagine the manufacturers haven't covered this as an 'emergency' measure.
Don't take it personally......

I had a similar thought with my hire car, a 59 Astra. The boot lock is completley electric.
So you get a flat battery.... but you keep your jump leads in the boot :error:

I'm sure there must be a back-up in place somewhere.

Maybe a Stanley fatmax taped to the wheel arch. :roll:
