How to open the door of the Renault Clio with the emergency key

Model: Renault Clio Clio IV, MK 4, Clio 4 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Key

All vehicles have an emergency metal key inside their remote controls that can be used to open or close the car in cases of extreme necessity. In the case of the Renault Clio model 4, the emergency key is located inside the remote control/card. To remove the remote control, we must insert a flat-tip screwdriver into the left end and with a slight upward pressure, remove the top part containing the emergency key. To use the key, it is necessary to insert it into the small lock and rotate it counterclockwise to open the vehicle. To close the vehicle, we will need to rotate the key clockwise. It is also possible to insert the same key into the ignition switch.
