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.
