If you notice that you cannot open the car doors because the remote key battery is dead, you can manually open it using the emergency key. Follow the steps below. Once you remove the emergency key from the remote, insert it into the lower part of the door handle where there is a small slot.

Leverage the key to release the plastic cover, and underneath, you will find the lock. This way, insert the key into the lock and you can open the car normally.
