The video explains a simple but very useful thing for Hyundai and many other modern cars: if the battery of your remote control no longer works, you can still enter the car. Pull the door handle as if you were going to open it normally. Look for a cover (usually found on the fixed part of the handle, near the lock, not on the moving part).

Pry it off with a small screwdriver and remove the cover: underneath, you will find the classic mechanical key lock. Insert the blade of the key (which can be the one that comes out of the remote, or the emergency key found inside the remote itself).
