Let's see how to board an MG ZS if the remote control runs out of battery: on the remote control there is a small button that, when pressed, releases the ring of the tiny emergency key, with which we lever on the cover that covers the emergency lock - always on the driver's door, so that you can enter inside.

Here, the car will not detect the key due to the dead battery, but it will be enough to insert it into the transponder (located inside the armrest), and now the car will start normally by pressing the start button.

Another thing to know is the service position of the wipers, which cannot be moved manually. The car must be turned on, then off, and a downward stroke must be given to the lever on the right of the steering wheel: this will position the wipers in "maintenance" mode; to return them to their original position: another downward stroke.

To change the battery of the remote control, we move the ring, remove the physical key and open the remote control in two. We replace the battery - however, the youtuber does not tell us which battery it is - and then reposition the ring and close the remote control.

Position the physical key and you're good to go.
