How to access a Mercedes with a dead remote control

Model: Mercedes Mercedes Various
Part: Key

To access a Mercedes even with a dead remote control, we must press the metal button located on the side of the remote control, which allows us to remove the emergency key from its housing. On the driver's side, we have hidden under a cap that is only for aesthetic purposes, a normal lock that will allow us to open the door and enter the vehicle. Once inside, we must physically remove the start button from its housing. We will discover that it is only a cap; we will insert the key into the housing that has been created and we will be able to start our journey to an electronics store, where we will quickly get a replacement battery.
