How to open the MG 5 with a dead remote control battery

Model: MG 5 Ap12 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Key

Let's find out in this short and simple guide how to open, in an emergency, the doors of the Mg 5 with a flat remote control battery. First of all we take our remote control in hand and begin to remove the small plastic cap that we find on the right of the handle, leveraging the small slot that we find under the lid itself; once removed, use the physical key on the remote control to open the car, turning the lock cylinder to the right, as shown in the video. Let's replace the remote control battery later!
