Part: Key

It may happen that the remote battery is not working, or the car battery is flat, and the locks do not open when using the electric command. In such cases, here’s how to gain entry to the vehicle. You only need the vehicle key. Approach the driver’s door handle and look underneath; you will notice a small recess. Insert the key into this recess, pull the handle, and leverage the key to detach the protective cover of the lock. Now, insert the key into the lock and unlock the door. Be careful not to lose the plastic protective cover.
