How to Open the Door When the Wuling Hongguang S3 Key Battery Dies?
2 Answers
You can use the mechanical key to insert into the keyhole and open the car door. After opening the door, you can jump-start the car using another battery and then recharge the car battery. The car battery should be charged regularly. If the battery is left unused for a long time, it will self-discharge and eventually become unusable. The battery should be recharged periodically.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang S3 for several years, and running into a key battery issue is all too common. The simplest solution is to locate the hidden key slot for manual unlocking. Take apart the remote key—there's usually a small button or indentation. Press it, and the mechanical key will pop out. Just insert it into the small hole on the door handle and turn to unlock. If you can't find the slot, check the driver's side door handle on the Wuling S3; it's designed to be there. Be gentle when inserting to avoid damage. Once inside, head to a nearby shop to replace the key battery—typically a CR2032 coin cell, which costs just a few bucks. For prevention, I recommend keeping spare batteries or a duplicate mechanical key in the car to avoid last-minute panic. Make it a habit to check the key's battery indicator light monthly for normal operation—it saves a lot of hassle.
