    Exclamation Help!! - locked out of the Kluger

    Took the battery out of the Kluger to use for camping, locked the door manually with the key, now back from camping and cannot open the door manually (With the key). Have tried all three original keys that came with the car, squirt of silicon spray to see if sticky but there is no movement at all, seems to be a electro / mechanical lock only and pehaps there was enough residual juice in the system to lock the door but now I can't open it for the life of me.

    Have tried googling and Toyota forums but cannot find anything relating specifically to this problem. Have tried holding the handle up before turning & that doesn't work.

    Have tried to find a way to open the bonnet from the ouitside too, any thoughts on this? Looks well protected for theft purposes I guess. Also tried to find the starter motor under the car to connnect battery up but cannot locate it, covers all over the place underneath.

    Thought I was a member of RACQ but it appears to have expired, before I rejoin any ideas / help appreciated.

    You can go online and ask the question and even though Curtis wants $51 if your satisfied with his answer it might be worth it.

    I requested help with your question but he wants a credit card for the $51 if your happy so you need to do it

    Good luck
    Cheers

    Mate depends on how mechanically confident you feel but if you climb under your car hook up jumper cables to the body and starter motor. To do this firstly place the positive onto the nut where the battery feed goes to the starter, then place the earth onto the chassis, this will provide you just enough juice to unlock your car

    Not a good thing. Unless it is soemthing weird, it means anyone who has a battery collapse on them will be locked out of their car! Pretty poor engineering.

    Crunchy, does the remote work, or is like the old commodore, once locked with a key then must be opened with a key.
