Where is the emergency key for Volkswagen Golf vehicles located?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf 8, MK 8, Golf Viii - Years 2019-2026
Part: Key

When the car remote's battery is dead, it is necessary to use the metal emergency key to access the vehicle. The emergency key is inserted into the remote so that the owner of the Volkswagen Golf always has it with them. To use the key, we need to press the button on the remote to slide off the top part. Standing in front of the left front door, we insert the key along the bottom of the handle to lift the lock cover; we then insert the key into the lock to access the vehicle.
