Point the key towards the vehicle and briefly press the unlock button to unlock the doors, or point the key towards the vehicle and briefly press the lock button to lock them. Turn the key to the right and hold it to open the front windows of the vehicle, or hold it to close the front windows and the sunroof. Point the key towards the vehicle and hold the button for about 3 seconds to open the trunk lid. First, pry open the lock cover, then insert the mechanical key into the keyhole to unlock. Pull the door handle outward; before installation, make sure to pull the door handle outward first.

Unlocking the Lavida manually is actually quite simple. I often encounter situations where the remote key fob runs out of battery, especially when I haven't changed the battery for a long time. Generally, there's a mechanical keyhole on the car, usually located under a small round cover beneath the driver's side door handle. You just need to insert the key and turn it clockwise to unlock. That night when I was stuck, fortunately, I was familiar with the operation. The Lavida's keyhole position is clear and not too hidden. But a reminder: don't turn it too forcefully to avoid jamming the lock cylinder. Regularly check the keyhole for rust or blockages to prevent being caught off guard in emergencies. Additionally, the Lavida's door lock design is reliable, ensuring all doors can be unlocked manually, and the trunk also has an independent keyhole. Develop a good habit: check the battery status of your key fob every time you refuel. Replacing it is quick and costs just a few bucks—safety first.

As a mechanic who frequently works with cars, I've seen plenty of issues with the manual unlocking of the Lavida. When the remote fails, you have to rely on the mechanical key, which is usually located in a small slot at the front of the driver's side door handle. Once found, insert the key and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the cylinder—remember, it's counterclockwise, as this is typically how the Lavida is designed. Apply even pressure when turning; avoid sudden, forceful twists to prevent damaging the lock mechanism. I recommend that car owners keep a small emergency kit, including a spare key, in case the primary key fails. It's also good to familiarize yourself with the door's internal mechanisms, such as how the cylinder connects to the electronic system. After manually unlocking, it's wise to check if the central control has activated all doors to avoid the risk of only one door being opened. The Lavida is known for its reliability, and mastering manual unlocking as a basic skill is essential.

As an average car owner who often drives with kids, I've encountered situations like manually unlocking the Lavida several times. When the remote key fob runs out of battery, I simply use the mechanical key. The keyhole is usually located on the side of the door handle - just insert the key, give it a gentle turn, and the door opens. It's straightforward and convenient. Once when I was running late dropping my child at school and the key fob died, knowing this trick saved me - problem solved in minutes. My advice is to practice locating the keyhole until you find the right spot, and don't rush when turning the key. I usually clean out any dust from the keyhole when washing the car to keep it functional. I've even shared this tip with other parents in my neighborhood who found it easy to learn. The Lavida is quite thoughtful in this regard - its keyhole is conveniently visible, unlike some cars where it's hidden too deeply.
