You would be surprised how little some so called "automotive professionals" actually know.
I know I've told this story but... the dealership where I bought my tS had a problem trying to unlock the trunk. I phoned in advance about coming to see the car. They had several hours to go over things but didn't. When I asked them to open the trunk they couldn't because the battery was dead. They had to drop the back seat to get at the release button and of course the seat release is in the trunk so they couldn't. First, they were going to remove the battery and put it on a charger for a couple of hours. Then they decided to bring in the portable booster/trickle charger. It took about a half hour before it had enough juice to pop the trunk. I went back a couple days later and made the deal on the car. I had to wait another three or four days until they could get it in to do the PDI. Funny thing, during the delivery process I asked about the owners manual. Well they turned the dealership upside down but they couldn't find any of the books that should have been in the glove box. It took me about eight weeks, numerous phone calls to the dealer and Subaru Canada's Customer Service before I got a complete set of the correct year books. There, in the manual it talks about the hidden key in the fob and the lock under the rear lid to access the trunk should the battery fail.
No one in that dealership, not sales staff, service staff or techs seemed to know anything about it on the day I first looked at the car.
