How to use the emergency key contained in a keychain

Model: Ford Escape MK 3 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Key

In this video we can see how to use the emergency key that is contained in all modern car remotes. In this specific case we are talking about a Ford, but the system is the same for all brands. By removing the top part of the remote, we extract the emergency key, also called a "blade" because of its shape. To use it, we need to go to the driver's door handle, which is the only one with a physical lock. Some cars have it exposed, while others like the Ford in the video have it covered by a plastic cap, which must be removed by levering with the tip of the "blade"; this way we can open the car with the emergency key. In this model there is a lock inside the armrest, where to insert the key. At this point, just press the start button to start.
