The doors of the Mini Cooper can be conveniently opened and closed using the buttons on the remote key. However, if the remote key does not work, for example due to a flat battery, you can still access the interior using the physical key. To do this, first extract the physical key from the remote by pressing the release button and sliding it out of its housing.

Then, use the key to lever under the door handle to detach the plastic cover that hides the lock, as shown in the video.

Once done, you can open and close the car using the key and the lock.
