How to open the Skoda Octavia car when the remote control does not work

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 3, 5E - Years 2012-2019

When the key of the Skoda Octavia is low on battery, it may become difficult to even access the vehicle. For this reason, inside the remote control there is a metal key that can be used to access the vehicle through the lock on the handle. We then take out the metal key and insert it into the hole under the door handle. We remove the cover and insert the key into the lock, turning it counterclockwise to open the door of the vehicle. Using the key, we can start the vehicle and go to our trusted store to purchase a new battery for the remote control.
