Did you know that if the battery dies in your C6 you can NOT open the doors via the normal "push-button". There is a lever on both the driver's side and passenger's side next to the sill that when pulled manually unlatches the door and gets you out of the car. PLEASE DON'T LET THE FOLLOWING HAPPEN TO YOU:A 72-year-old man from Port Arthur, Texas, died inside his dream car when the lock system malfunctioned and he was trapped inside his 2007 Corvette with his dog, Leia.The accident is not uncommon for some Corvette models, owners say. A low battery or a low key fob battery can cause the locks to lock up. But there is a manual release on the driver's side that allows occupants to bypass the battery, according to owners' manuals.Rogers apparently didn't know about that according to KBMT-TV. A battery cable had come loose, the station said.He had just stopped in at a Waffle House, where he was a regular. As he got in his luxury car to leave, the doors and windows locked. He had accidentally left his phone inside the restaurant, so he was unable to call for help.Another regular customer and employees tried to rescue Rogers but couldn't get the doors open. A firefighter eventually broke a window, but Rogers and his dog were already dead.
