I've noticed that there is no way to gain access to the interior of the vehicle (and hence rear hatch release) if the remote was used to lock the doors and thereafter power was removed from the car. It hasn't happened, just planning just in case...
So, if the key fob battery were to die, or the vehicle battery, the only way to gain entrance would be to either replace the key fob battery or remove the drivers side front access panel and "jump" or power the Lotus's electrics from another battery?
Seems the only way the "key" works to unlock the doors is if I manually locked them with the door lock pulls in the "up", or key-fob unlocked position. If I locked the Lotus with the key fob and the door lock pulls were in the down position, the key in the door lock does nothing. Still new to the car and figuring out its quirks as I have never had a car with such a strange setup.
