What to Do When the Key Won't Open the Door?

[DeLane]

If the car remote key fails to unlock the door, use the mechanical key inside the key fob to open it. The keyhole for the car door is located next to the door handle. Insert the key and turn it to the right to unlock. Here are the detailed steps: Press the unlock button on the car key. Pull out the internal mechanical key. Insert the key into the door keyhole. Turn it to the right to unlock the door. Pull the door handle outward to open the door. If the remote key fails to unlock the door, it may be due to a dead battery in the remote or the car's battery. If the mechanical key also doesn't work, the car's locking system might be in an electronic lock state, or the door lock cylinder could be stuck. If the car's locking system is in an electronic lock state, wait for one or two hours before attempting to unlock. If the door lock cylinder is stuck, contact a 4S shop for assistance. In extremely cold weather, the door might freeze shut. In this case, pour warm water over it or wait for the temperature to rise before trying to open it.
