I'm getting ready for my first road trip in my Boxster and was reading about the problem of getting the hood open if the battery is dead. Can anyone tell me:

1. If the car is locked when the battery dies, can I open the door? (It sounds like it from the posts I've read, or there would be more about getting into the car instead of just the trunk)

2. Can I simply push start the car, as I've done with all my other manual transmission vehicles?
