How does the Mercedes S-Class open when the battery is low?

Model: Mercedes Classe S MK 5, W221 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

When the Mercedes S-Class car battery is flat, it will be impossible to open the car using the special button on the remote control. Therefore, it will be necessary to go and take out the emergency key which is inside the remote control and can be extracted from its housing by sliding it out from the lower part of the device. In this way the emergency key can be inserted inside the car lock, turning it and unlocking all the door locks. The same procedure can be performed to close all the car doors.
