    So I use my smart key. I had to get out of the car last night to load up something, I left it running. Well my friend pushed the black button on the door and locked them all (smart key in my pocket). I had the windows down so I could get back in but is there a way to use the smaller key to unlock the doors?

    You could rap sharply on the window with the tip of the key, but I think "bisco" pretty much nailed it!!

    The system shouldn't lock in that situation...

    That lock and turn thing worked perfect! You guys rock!

    I have another question I hope you can answer...
    I am almost out of gas and I can't for the life of me find how to open the gas tank door. In my other car you just push it in and it pops open. Well I tried that and it's not working. I also tried to pull it out, but I seem to have bent it a good bit. What am I doing wrong???

    There's a release lever on the floor next to the driver's door.

    Whoa! One tank of gas on an '06.
    That's either very, very good FE/MPGs, or very low mileage. :rolleyes:

    I'm sure it'll come up; you can find little stick looking things on the
    wheels where you put air in to inflate them. It's pretty easy. :p

    Don't forget, you have to change the air in your tires every 5,000 miles. :D

    I thought the gas tank door was for looks only. The window sticker said 'Full Tank Of Gas".:rolleyes:
