If you ever have to...in the trunk, hidden under a plastic cover, on the firewall, is the battery.
Problem is, the trunk opens electronicaly, so a dead battery prevents you from opening the trunk.
So, there is a fuse box, on drivers side that has a pull out mini terminal that you need to find, and put the positive jumper on , ground the other to the frame or door hinge, to get enough juice to open the trunk.....to get to the battery.

Even more ridiculous is the lack of a dipstick, which requires you to let the car sit for 5 minutes, hot engine, after driving, with the key in the ignition, engine off, in accessory position to get an oil level reading.
If you forget about it, and come down the next morning, dead battery...then see above.
Ask me how I know.
