Greetings, My battery is dead so I was told that it prevents the turn from opening for battery replacement due to the anti theft system. Is there an exact decode procedure for owners or due I need to call a mobile mechanic?
Thank you

Open the hood, put either a battery or another car to jump start pole and hook up cables. Let it charge for about three minutes put key in ignition then try to start car. If it starts then try to open trunk so you can replace battery. I looked it up today and it has a chip in key. If that key does not work use another one if you have it not a new one as the new one will have to be programmed to your car by starting with old one then shutting down then starting with new one.
