To open the door of a Volkswagen Polo 6R, start by pulling the handle towards you, leaving the cover on the left side free. Next, insert the open key into the slot you will notice below the lock cover, and gently lever it, pulling the cover slightly towards you without removing it completely.

Once this step is complete, push the cover slightly to the right. This will free the lock.

After this step, insert the key into the lock and turn it 90 degrees to the right, then return it to its original position. Once done, simply do not pull the handle towards you, and the door will open.
