So I can use the spare physical key that came with the car to open the driver door. Simple once you realize you use the tip of the key to press in a bit, then slide the lock cover toward the back of the car. Lucky I was at home where that extra key was. NOW the big question is what if I'm out on the road and not at home? Is there a physical key hidden in the key FOB's themselves? If so...how do you get the key out? Simply hold the FOB so you are looking at the lock and unlock buttons and they are pointed 'up'. Now turn the FOB over. You see a lit notch with a slot in it. Press a key or something 'gently' into that slot so you are sliding the notch toward the other end of the FOB. It just needs to go a little bit. Once you get this to move, you are now able to 'split' the FOB in half. It opens to reveal a small physical key which you can use on the drivers door. Remember to remove the cover as mentioned above in the first section. Make sure to put the key back in the exact same way when finished, and, gently snap the cover back together.

Have you tried opening the drivers door with the key in the FOB? If not you should because when you need to, your owners manual will be safely locked in the glove box. It is on pages 44 and 45 of the PDF I have. It is pretty simple. Take the key and under the cap at the rear of the door handle is a hole. Press the key gently into the hole and slide the cap towards the rear of the car. Wallah...
