help open toyota vitz bonnet

hi ppl i've got a 2005 toyota vitz which is keyless(smart key) i've parked it in d garage and pulled the handbrake, and locked up now when i went to open it it won't because of no battery and probably u would say to open it from the drivers door but i can't because its exactly a few cm far from the wall infact i go out from the passengers door now is there a way i can open the bonnet from the outside not from the inside?

Get a hydraulic jack,jack up the front of the car and roll it away from the wall so you can access the drivers door.
Couple of strong friends might also be able to the same thing.

but he said he put the ebrake on...

he's almost best getting a truck to just drag him out a foot or two so he can get in...

or now that i type that, jack up the car and place something under the wheels (like a cafeteria tray or something) so you can more easily push or drag the car out...

No battery in the smart key or a dead car battery?

Wouldnt really matter as the wheels would be off the ground and he would be using the wheels on the hydraulic jack to move the car.

Jack it up from the tranny and just pull away from the wall.
Worst case scenario,break the window,probably cost $200
Or send us a pic of the car's LOCATION
