Use the security key inside the key fob. There is a spot on the underside of the lip of the trunk. Make sure not to push in when turning the key. Turn the key fully, push in the tab where the key goes then pull up on the trunk

Mercedes-Benz provides "Roadside Assistance" to anyone who owns an MB and they will come to location of car and assist you @ #800-367-6372 (800-FOR-MERCedes). They are regular MB technicians NOT AAA or some such that know nothing. They know every trick to an MB and they have phone back-up techs knowledge available to them. The SL63 is the same car an SL550 in this problem. There is a way to open the car with a battery jump starter but I don't recall the details of how to open the hood/engine compt. THC
