    Hi
    I have had my 2007 Prius since it was a year old and cannot praise it enough. BUT I have not driven it for weeks and the battery is dead. The emergency key does not work although it has in the past.
    I have sprayed WD40 into the lock with no joy.

    Has anyone else had this problem or knows how to get into my car?
    TIA

    Probably let the WD40 work in for more than 15 seconds. ;)
