What to do if the Renault or Dacia card runs out of battery and you can't enter the car

Model: Dacia Sandero MK 3 - Years 2021-2026
Part: Key

In this video, we see what to do if your Renault or Dacia card (like on a Sandero as shown in the video) runs out of battery and you can't enter the car. Don't worry: slide the part with the logo of the card and you will discover that inside there is an emergency key and a button battery. Using the key, lever the end of the driver's door handle: under the plastic cover, there is a standard lock, which can be opened with the key itself. If you have a new CR2032, you can now replace it and get going; otherwise, simply place the card in the designated slot in the centre console, at the base of the dashboard, and press the start button.
