Ok this applies only to myvi cars.
As some of u guys and girls know, myvi (gen2 also) the rear boot does not have any manual locks for you to activate or deactivate.

Ok....so if one day there is no battery power at all... the locks to all doors of cos wont function. Now, so happen that the rear boot door is unlocked. And ur stuck in the middle or ur in some parking area where u just need to secure ur car when ur away.

So how to lock and secure the rear boot when no battery? Since u need to go get help. Anyone have similar experiences please share.

No rubbish postings please. icon_rolleyes.gif

Well gen2's don't have remote unlock feature for the boot, the boot release is cable driven by a lever beside the driver seat as how it has been since forever. Unless the cable snapped then you have a problem. Also doors locks still operate by key if there is no remote to open it........

How did you get this idea of battery powered boot release?

Ok on fancy cars like volvo or other marques that have electric tailgates but even then i'm sure you can close and open with the batteries dead.

if involved accident which banged directed to engine bay, it may effected wiring and battery... door lock may malfunction that time and driver/passengers locked inside...

but i think the door lock still work as mechanic right? even though battery kong also can release the door by pushing the door knob, just the central lock wont functioning... correct me if wrong

Bro, ok lar I don't drive a Myvi .. but u sure about this ? Car boots have keyhole and cable connected to a lever at the side of the driver's seat since before even I was born .. for god's sake even my 22 year old Nissan Sunny 130Y has this, how come Myvi dun have ah? Whose brilliant idea to remove such basic necessity?

I think TS mean the remote batt, I also confuse with his statement.
all boots open manually in car are mechanical for myvi and gen2.

unless they mod it to eletronic boots.

simply, TS just open the car door and pull the back boots open.

driver/passenger door should work as mechanical by pushing the door knob to exit if battery kong...

i only know if u need to open an electronic boot (even for those without the keyhole), there is an emergency latch situated near the bootlock. there's always a plastic cover on the rear panel. i have it in my alphard. saw the same in the estima as well.
checked my accord, it has it as well.

***i mean on the inside panel, outside is besi, inside is plastik yah !

the safest is take away any valuable things away from car... i had few time forgot to lock my car but nothing happened although got my working bag inside my car bcos myvi door knob not noticeable easily from outside... tongue.gif

but usually once battery kong, we will change it immediately rather than park the "unlock" car at outside and not able to start the engine later... tongue.gif maybe can ask for another car to do parallel with dead battery and start it to lock? laugh.gif

How to Unplug The Battery For Myvi While Locking all Doors and Trunk?

1. Open the hood/Bonnet to expose the engine.

2. Prepare in one hand, your car keys; and in another hand, the wrench.

3. Loosen the nut at one connection for the battery.

4. Lock the doors by hitting the button on the car keys. The car will sound the alarm as the security system is triggered because the hood is opened.

5. Immediately plug out the connection to the battery, the security will disengage.

6. Shut the hood. Now your car is locked for all doors AND the trunk (which has no manual lock!). Your car can be left there while you leave for a long trip.

Well that's what happened to my Myvi just now. Battery flat out died. Trunk can't open, passenger doors also can't open. Luckily the hood got manual latch.
