How do you open the Mini, directly with the emergency key?

Model: Mini Mini F56, F57, F54, F55 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Key

Just like with other cars, the Mini also has a solution in case the remote control, specifically the door opening button, doesn't work or if suddenly the battery doesn't provide enough energy because it's low. The remedy can be found using the emergency key. This key is housed inside the remote control itself, so it needs to be removed and, after removing the cap of the external door handle, inserted into the cylinder and turned counterclockwise. Once this is done, the lock will open and we can access the interior of the car. This operation is easily completed.
