How to get into your GMC Terrain even with the remote control battery flat

Model: GMC Terrain MK 2 - Years 2018-2025
Part: Key

If your Terrain GCM has been closed because the remote control battery is dead, know that there is a system - perfectly legal because only you who have the remote control can do it - to open it. In fact, your remote control contains a physical key, which is needed precisely for these emergency situations. All you have to do is press the button on the side of your remote control and pull. The physical emergency key will come off, and to access the driver's handle key cylinder, you have to look closely under the shorter part of the handle. There is a small compartment where you will have to insert the tip of the key and pull the handle at the same time. The lock cover will come off and you can open the door with the physical key. Of course you'll have to change the battery now, but at least you've got in the car.
