Let's see what to do: first, use the emergency key inside the remote control to open the car through the lock on the driver's door. Upon entering, the car alerts us that the remote control has a low battery, but if we press it a second time it suggests keeping the remote control near the steering column, where there is a symbol with a key. Now the car tells us that it has recognized the key and that we can start the engine.
