How to unlock Ford Fusion without a key?

If you have lost your keys, unfortunately you are stuck waiting for a locksmith as it is next to impossible to break into a car and hotwire it like they do in the movies.

However, if the battery in your Ford Fusion's key fob dies, there is a neat trick to get into your car and drive away without having to spend the King's ransom on a locksmith or a tow-truck. First, flip the smart key over and look for the small button on the back of the key. Pop it out, then remove the small metal key inside. Looking under the driver's door-handle there is a small hole you can insert the key into, then twist and pull off the plastic housing on the end of the door handle. This shows the manual key barrel to open the car.

Put the key in, turn the key and open the door. Then, pull the small tab on the rubber liner in the cupholder, and remove that liner. Place the key face up in the indent in the bottom of the rear cupholder, with the unlock button facing forward. You can now start your car like normal.
