It should be emphasized that in addition to the Volkswagen Passat, this video guide is also aimed at the Volkswagen Scirocco and the Volkswagen Golf. Finding yourself suddenly with a flat key battery can be unsettling, but it is not a serious issue, as the way to open the car is there and it is also very simple.

From the remote control shell provided, you need to extract the emergency key, which should then be inserted into the driver's door lock.

Before this, as we can see in the video, the handle cap must be removed with a small screwdriver and that's it.
