Hey guys,
Just a quick thing I noticed while I was checking out a few civics at a local dealer the other day. The touring model they had in the show room either had a dead or disconnected battery (not particularly uncommon for showroom floor models at this dealer). However, I did notice that with the battery being dead there was seemingly no way to access the trunk space. The button on the actual trunk lid itself didn't open it, the one on the drivers door didn't open it either and the only way I know of to fold down the seats is in the trunk itself. I may have missed a method of entry, as I don't own the car and haven't had a ton of time to actually inspect the options available.
I'm mostly asking you guys for planning purposes as to whether keeping regular jumping cables in the trunk would be sufficient (what good are they if you can't access them on a dead battery?) because there's another method of entry I didn't realize or if it would be wise to get one of those little jumper boxes that could fit in the glove box.
Not sure exactly where this post fit, but I figured "general discussion" should be good. If it needs to be moved then please go ahead or tell me how to do it and I will gladly do so.
