Don't think disconnecting the Aux battery is such a great idea. I have just been reading the emergency procedures manual and it says don't close the tailgate when the Aux battery is disconnected as you will not be able to re-open it. Never thought of the electronic lock :shock:
There will be a way of getting into it! I've not looked at the PHEV in detail, but I did have the aux battery fail in our Prius and had to get in - there's a mechanical key built into the fob that will open the driver's door, then it's a case of working your way back into the luggage area by folding seats. Once there, there will be an access cover that can be removed close to the lock mechanism which allows you to manually override it.
