===How to Jump Start the Car and Open the Trunk/Boot when the Battery is Dead===
'''Issue'''
 
A completely dead battery prevents the boot lid from being electrically opened. A jump start is not possible if you cannot access the battery as the W220 does not have accessible jump ports.
 
'''Solution'''
 
Extract the mechanical key from the Remote Key Fob and use it to open the Trunk. If that doesn't work you may have to charge the battery prior to jump starting the car.
* Pull the carpet back from the top under the front passenger side dash.
* Behind the Styrofoam insulation there is an aluminum plate.
* Unscrew the 3-4 bolts to get to the positive terminal.
* Hook up a charger and charge the battery as long as possible.
* After a while you should be able to start the car.
* If the trunk still will not open reset it by removing the 20A yellow fuse from under the rear right passenger seat fuse box.
* Leave it out for about 5 mins.
* Then put it back in and then try to open the Trunk.
* The Trunk should now open.
