That day my car was parked in the parking lot when the remote key suddenly ran out of battery, which was really frustrating. How do you open the door of a Tiguan L with the mechanical key? First, you need to know it's hidden inside the remote key—some models require pressing a small button or sliding the cover to pop out the hidden key. Once you have the key, look for the keyhole on the driver's side door handle. Don't just poke around if you don't see it immediately. The Tiguan L's door handle has a small plastic cover over the keyhole—gently pry it open with your finger or the tip of the key, but don't use too much force to avoid scratching the door. Insert the key and turn it left or right to unlock the door. I've encountered this situation a few times, and each time it was because I was too lazy to replace the key fob battery. Now, checking the battery life every six months helps avoid trouble. When opening the door, make sure the car is parked in a safe place—don't try it on the roadside where it might attract unwanted attention. Safety first.
