I was wondering if somebody could help me I've come to get in my xf to go to work today and I cannot open the vehicle with the fob so I tried the spare fob still no joy, it seems as if I have a flat battery how do I go about getting into the vehicle to charge the battery up, I haven't had any issues with the vehicle being sluggish to start or anything like that it's just come out of the blue this morning

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Do you not have the emergency key tucked inside your remote? There's a piece of plastic on the door handle that you can remove to access the key socket.

Hi Anthony,

                  Rick has explained about the key that is attached to the "Fob". Just in case you are not sure on where it is located on the "Fob", you just slide back the Chrome strip on the Key Fob and this will expose the Emergency Key (best of luck when you relocate it back into its position) I have a 3.0 XF on a 63 plate, and there is another "Key Hole" located adjacent to the Boot Release Button on the Boot Lid. It is under a cover which you prise off, this will then "Unlock the Boot Lid". The battery on my XF is located in the boot  beneath the floor. If your Battery is Flat you will not be able to open the Boot electrically......Hope this is of some help....Billyboy

Thanks for both of your replies I opened the boot with the key and charged the battery that was flat, alls good at the moment and starting fine but I'll see how I get on

Thanks
