Shows how often I've used them. Long reach through ski pass-through? Don't tell me that opens from trunk, too.rear seat release is in the boot
I guess if you have a Quad, you are going to have to use the boost method as there's no folding of any rear seat possible.While the side portions of the rear seat can only be unlocked from the trunk, the center portion can be folded down from the cabin.
There are charging posts under the hood, yes.
And if the power interruption is planned because you need to disconnect or replace the battery, there's an emergency cable release hidden in the trunk lid itself, which you can retrieve under a round plastic cap close to the latch and dangle out of the trunk, so it can be reopened manually.
Is that emergency cable accessible from the outside of the vehicle normally? If so, that seems to pose a serious security issue; if not this doesn't seem to help with a dead battery problem.While the side portions of the rear seat can only be unlocked from the trunk, the center portion can be folded down from the cabin.

there is a way to disengage the "park" on the automatic gearbox, see...
Lastly the owner's manual mentions a mechanism to disengage park-lock in the transmission so that the car can be moved if it won't start. Although it is mentioned it is not described. Do you know anything about this and how to activate it?
That only applies to diesels built up to Oct 14th 2016.there is a way to disengage the "park" on the automatic gearbox, see (pics)
Strange that it's in the general 2017 manual then ??That only applies to diesels built up to Oct 14th 2016.
On my car the emergency interior trunk release is a button that needs to be pushed. It is a 4' reach from the rear seat so unless you have basketball player length arms you will need a stick to push it. If you have a lot of junk in your trunk (literally) you may have trouble with the stick method.When my battery died, suddenly and unexpectedly, I tried opening the center seat section and reaching in for the 'emergency' release. Maybe I'm to old or to fat or my arms are to short, or all of the above. It took me a while, but finally found the jumping terminals in the engine compartment. After attaching jumper cables I was able to open the trunk. Seems like the long way around the block.
Anyone else missing this emergency cable release? When I disconnected my battery to add paddle shifters I realized the hole next to the latch inside my trunk is empty, no plug or cord...I put some crap over the latch and told my wife not to close the trunk.While the side portions of the rear seat can only be unlocked from the trunk, the center portion can be folded down from the cabin.

I've had to do this, the centre portion of the rear seat folds down. Then you need someone really small to crawl through to pull the emergency release from inside the trunk. There isn't a manual lever release outside of the car.
If possible, pop the hood and use the factory recommended boost method so that you can pop it electronically.
In that case you do not have the folding seat so cannot open the trunk/boot if your battery is flat. You can jump start the car from the terminals in the engine bay as per this picture. If you disconnected the battery then you are stuffed and have to call recovery perhaps?Mine rear doesn't fold down in the centre, the entire seat is one long seat. So I am stuck and not sure what to do
